But not as weird as the fact that the Country Mart has valets.

That is kinda funny.

In addition to the "motorcyclists stay safe" theme, I'd like to ask drivers to watch for us. I damn near got sideswiped by a taxi TWICE on my ride in today as I was legally occupying a lane (I never split lanes). Jackass. I hope his passenger didn't tip him.

Cars are supposed to allow cycles the same space they would allow a car and are never to occupy the same horizontal stretch of the same lane. Aside from killing a biker (not that that's the secondary concern at all), at night, that could just as easily be a one eyed car.

my son's brain is life a steel trap - he never forgets any of the things I want him to.

Turns out I'm John Edwards. I'm a little surprised but not gonna-have-a-heart-attack-and-die-from-that-surprise surprised.

DJ, thanks for making me feel not entirely invisible today. I had a couple of fraught moments in real life situations, so am feeling particularly raw.

Oh Theo - I watched the video too, but was not posting there for a while.

Man, that robot is creepy. At one point, it almost flips over but doesn't. I wonder if it could flip itself back, or just continue upside-down.

I'm particularly smarting because this guy in class told me to shut up and stop whining, not in a friendly and supportive way, either.

Oh, Theo. I wish I was there to kick his stupid ass.

That guy's a dick. Everybody thinks so.
