[AT] OT Bicycle mechanics.

Come to think of it this old man might have done some lawn mower work too 
but he was mostly known as a bicycle mechanic.  I guess back then there were 
about as many bicycles as cars and many of them being used by adults. 
There was another "character" in town.  I can't remember his name but he 
always had a small home made sling shot with him.  He took great pleasure in 
showing us boys how he could shoot.  He always shot from the hip and could 
hit a bird on a light wire or tree limb almost without fail.  Now days I 
guess they'd lock that old fellow up.
