He said we could meet today if I got over in the next half hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I got dressed and ready for the day. I walked over to my bike. The tire was flat!!

Sometimes three or four times a day. Seems I have been more interested in the original Reno Arch that is very close to it to notice that it is the National Automobile Museum.

And yet as Joe Harrington the PIO for the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) would explain to me in the meeting I will soon be talking about, this trouble spot is high up on their radar with interim fixes\u00a0hopefully within a year.
