Transcript
And suddenly, I was reading about something I'd never heard of before, a smaller bicycle. Macmillan ate it somewhere he loved so much. And in that moment, I knew exactly where I was going. Macmillan must have had a great sense of humor to think someone would actually go looking for it. Tier I was, moving in that direction with a simple mission, find a bicycle and bring it home. Getting here was the easy part. Now I had to face the decision that brought me here. But I kept thinking about Macmillan, a craftsman, someone who built things with his hands. If he bad left something here, something as noticeable as a bicycle, I didn't think it would have made it.
