Isn't she working at the CVS on Boundary Street?  You know, the sketchy one by the highway.

Nineteen fifty-eight. It's been traveling twenty-eight years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails, and you have to say. Call it.

Speaking of coins ... did you know that older pennies (the solid copper ones) are worth 3 cents in copper.

Inspeaking of recycling...well in fact completely ignoring recycling...why is it that combat helmets almost always look awesome but cycling helmets always look stupid?  Can't somebody just recycle the shape of a combat helmet into a cycling helmet?

Would you have to fight off other cyclists if you were wearing a combat helmet??  That might be worth it.

they ought to start making these
for the bikers around here
these guys in Butte have a death wish.

A fella rolled out in front of me just this morning.

My brakes said "SKWEE!"

I saw one of these vests save a rider's life
in a National Cross Country event this summer.

The man should NOT have been able to get up
much less get up and be 'fine'.
A thirteen hundred pound HORSE rolled over him
after falling four feet ...
should have been somewhere in the neighborhood
of four thousand pounds
rolling over the man.

Miraculous.

They could even make
biker's helmets
that look like aviation leather hats
that blow up the same way.

Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.

Anywhere, but not in your pocket. Or it'll
get mixed in with the others and become
just a coin.

Which it is.

So...  I've learned a couple of things.

A) I have awesome friends (yus, that includes the people on this board)
2) Those friends help keep me sane
C) Looking back, those who SAID they were my friends actually added nothing of value to my life in any way

So, this jack is dedicated to my REAL friends.  You all know who you are, and you rock.  Just wanted to say "thanks," and could'na really think of another place to put it.

Lovely post, Xenos.  People hear a lot of the 'bad' but not a lot of the good.

Speaking as an avid cyclist who recently got hit (Not my fault, and minor injuries only. Poor bicycle needs a new front wheel), I would prefer that my head did not explode as well if I am struck by a motorist. That might ruin my afternoon.  Wink

Of course you head in a helmet is a better shape to go through a window and when gravity kicks in and your body drops...yeah a pretty gory scenario that did happen.  The coroner had a convenient basket to carry the head away in.
