"Bike Trouble' Quiz

I've been hearing this squeaking noise. Not at any regular intervals but fairly frequently and loudly! I oiled and greased but still it continued. I began to think it was beyond the realm of my mechanic capabilities when the noise persisted after the bike had stopped. I thought I was going nuts out in the middle of nowhere all by myself. How can I be hearing this squeaking when my bike is not moving? Please don't be concerned for my mental health. I've figured out the problem. Can you?

Today I am still in Kharhorin. The wind was so strong I had to walk sideways to the internet place, which was "setup by Government of India." Did you know that India gave aid? I didn't. Unfortunately they didn't give enough for me to be able to upload photos. So I decided I can leave tomorrow.

Hey Bernadette! It's Laura from Seasons. Long time no talk. I'm so happy you have a blog. I've been wondering about you and your travels but didn't realize until yesterday that you have this blog. I've really enjoyed reading it. I especially like the one about things that spin. You're fucking hilarious. And I can't believe you got one of those Taiwan recycling horns. I think the sausage vendors used the same ones too, right?
So...is it a baby seal?

Terry thinks it's a snake in the spokes or rodent in the derailer.

Just checking out your blog now. Can't imagine what the squeak can be. Do you have something mechanical/battery operated traveling with you? Are the batteries running out so that you won't know if there is a fire?

You are SOOOO adventurous. More than I could be, but then I am already retired, and we old folks don't get from from medical help.
Kathy from around the corner.

Thanks for your guesses! Jen was the closest. Its a marmot. Although now I really wish it was a baby seal!
