  1. May be hard to follow; It sure as hell was hard to lead IRL. Act 1 I ordered some new indicators earlier from amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0195HOSQU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Yesterday one old one was dangling by it's rubber mount. When I got home 5:45 I had an email from amazon- 4:59 pm (usual mail delivery 2:30) "We tried but were unable to deliver your package. Your package is now available for pickup at your local Post Office. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you’d like to schedule another delivery attempt, visit USPS Redelivery and enter the tracking number XXX5511699000797688XXX. Please look for a notice of attempted delivery." No slip on door. We have a lockbox. The tracking has the usps zip it's one in the center of town. Act 2 Today I go to the post office and they say no not this office. The big one on the outside of town. 2 20mph school zones later I get there. I give him my ID he says it's not there. I give him a confused look wondering where else it would be. He thought it was with the carrier for delivery. I give him another confused look, wondering why they wouldn't have put that on the tracking. He said "at that hour". (I hadn't given him the tracking because the mobile Hotmail site on my phone will absolutly not allow me to put the cursor in the username field. password yes name NO) It probably wasn't even attempted to be delivered and that comment was the only thing they could put. A comment that they did what they didn't, are going to act on an option without my requested response, and no paper notice correcting the known wrong tracking entry. Act 3 What ever, I pull out of the post office up to a stop sign behind an old Land Rover turning right. I'm at the stop line, he's angled out with his bumper past it. A car goes past and there's a long gap. He pulls out. I'm watching the distance for the next car, pull forward/ stop again, then pull ahead angling out and leaning. The land rover has stopped again. I grab a handfull of brake stoping 3 feet short of him and get my foot down with the bike at about 45 degrees. I slowed it going from down for a second then felt the muscle fatigue and giving up. Over she went. I look at him in his rear, view he sees me, the gap is wasted. Took 2 lifts to get it up as I've never dropped this bike under estimated the weight and didn't have known grab points. He's pulled out now. Didn't turn over, switched the key off and on and it reset the tip sensor and I was off. Until Act 4 (act 2,3,4 all on 1/2 mile stretch of road With lunch traffic, a train crossing with gates and a new stop signal that tells people not to stop on the crossing even when the gates arent down but also leaves 100 yards car free on the other side behind cars stopped at the next stop light. Then a train did cross and a bunch of cars did U-turns. Then the road was reduced to 1 way with construction flaggers. 20 minutes and another 20mph school zone later I'm moving (why are schools ON major through streets? Act 5 My fuel light came on prefectly yeaterday as I got home and the rain started falling. I planned to fill up after the quick post office stop. I made it to the station this time. Gas was cheap almost all pumps full except for the token out of service one. I pull to the exit note a deep muddy pothole and stop behind a work van waiting to turn right. Oh, of course he's fully to the right but turning left across a busy 5 lane corner. There's just enough room to squeeze around If I roll back and forth to get the angle to steer around him. I put a foot down and it falls further than normal... into the edge of the pot hole that was now blocked from my vision by my chin guard. The bike is tilting over. Not twice in one day. Like the clenching grip of rio gymanasts feet i'm pretty sure my toes flexed my solid boot soles to grip onto the pothole cliff. I grunted like an obese weight lifter and pulled the bike back up. Act 6 Got home looked at the tracking, if you can belive it (you can't) the box was delivered to the locker before I left and earlier than the daily delivery. The signals were as dim as the price reflected specs and photos be damend, and I need to order something else. They are heavy metal but loose in a bag both had the powdercoat chipped too. I swore of leds when I bought my current 6w bulbed ones, but now I've sworn off the rubber mounts as they alway work themselves out of the body. One small inner toe is purple and sore with a bump on the side.

  4. Granular minority govt programs! gay farmers. “The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Civil Rights, in collaboration with the National Center for Lesbian Rights and The True Colors Fund, will engage with LGBT rural communities across the country to host the LGBT Rural Summit Series,” the USDA said. “Each series will offer a unique opportunity for USDA and other federal agencies to share information relating to policies, programs, and services that exist to protect, promote and strengthen LGBT rural communities.” say what? head of the USDA’s rural pride summit Ashlee Davis said the agency is working very hard to change how people think about rural America, away from the “white, rich male.” Wait are they saying white rich males can't be gay? Shouldn't someone be offended? Rural america, I think of cows.
  5. Aren't charter schools free (tax coffer paid) to any child? From the marketing commercials it appears so. I imagine it also raises the per student cost in public schools with less bulk and the doubling of services. Doesn't the failure of public education support wanting the government involved in fewer programs.

  12. Could Amazon payment process be any worse? /ross voice trying to recover 2100 stolen reward points they took but didn't apply. They want to cancel my order which apparently triggered a $30 -200% price increase for a strut and $50 350% increase for a bottom bracket and have me reorder paying new price. Ahh no. chatting with suraj...

  14. adjusted the chain, kissed the rear footpeg with the soft tissue above my knee.
  15. Why is it the govt's fault the people are working in unskilled labor? This is a job not a career and starting a family they can't support by choice makes them more needy. I worked those jobs, had no dependents and shared apartments with roommates and got no welfare. How many times I've wondered how some of them ever got non union jobs, diversity quotas I guess(checking their phone mid checkout!). Does walmart pay the government for self checkouts that are cheaper than cheap labor too? In high school, living at home, earning minimum wage I worked 2 days a week at a grocery and one days pay every week went to union dues.
