The white fluffy stuff is cottonwood tree flowers/seeds. Even our front yard doesn’t have enough dandelions to account for the cottonwood fluff that’s blowing around these days.

Ortlieb panniers seem to be the most waterproof ones, and have an incredibly useful attachment system. REI sells them. I have a pair of the ‘front rollers’but I use them as rear panniers.

For carrying anything commuting to work (clothes, wallet, laptop, etc.) I’ve been using one of Timbuk2′s laptop messenger bags (http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/catalog/categories.t2?categoryId=45) to get from home to Microsoft.

Jim,

I have a set of panniers (or, more correctly, my wife now has a set) that have a plasticy surface and fold over at the top. They’re about as waterproof as you can get.

If I had a clue which box they were in at home, I’d send Eric a keyboard brush with your complements…
