Think You've Got it Bad?

At least your not Dude.

The Bethlehem Township man accused of throwing a drinking party for his 16-year-old son last year tried to kill himself and his 4-year-old son this week, according to Northampton County Court records.

Unfortunately this will disqualify him from the Father Of The Year competition.

Bullshit!

I've ridden through this intersection many times. I guess the MVPD has decided they can use cyclists to raise enough $$ to justify their existence.

I'm sure there are people that would argue the justification on something this ridiculous (probably the same people that agree with the Pope).

The whole concept of "To Protect and Serve" is a farce. The only thing something like this serves, is to clog up the courts while all 30 of these guys have to individually dispute the charge, which will get reduced, if not dismissed.

It seems that rules/laws were put in a place for a reason. I'll assume that the reason, in this case, was not to create municipal revinue. When the laws aren't used for the purpose they were created (ie safety), then what good are they?

This serves no good. It's a waste of much time and throws away a lot of good will that might be needed some day (like the next time a vote comes up for law enforcement?).

Oh Well

I'd been doing really well too. But moving, being busy at work, being unable to successfully negotiate AT&T into installing a phone line, have all conspired to keep me from updating this little bloggy thing.

Moving is not fun. It's annoying, frustrating, exhausting, and frustrating. It means having to deal with entities like AT&T and Ikea. AT&T gives me a headache, you think it would be more efficient for them to just do the work that I'm paying them for than to have to listen to me complain about it every day. But maybe that's just me, I like to make problems go away by solving them, not just ignoring them.

I realized last night, that Ikea is a lot like a casino. They just batter you into submission by overloading your senses. Giving you way too much to look at, while contantly interupting the music with announcements in an overly crowded area designed to not let you move freely through the space.

It's enough to make we want a drink.

But it's a nice place, and E is cool, when she's not hitting me in the head with Ikea parts. (Oh sorry, babe, No! put that down! AAAHHHHhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!)

I did manage to get a 50 mile ride in Saturday, and another 35 yesterday. I hadn't ridden Tam in a while. I remembered it was hard, but it was harder than I remembered.

Bariani RR is this weekend. It will be fun. My first race with the ZR team, hopefully it goes well.

Moving

No riding for me this weekend. My weekend was basically:

1 Pick up item
2 Place item in box, repeat until full.
3 Carry box down stairs.
4 Move stack of boxes down the street
5 Walk back up the street, return to #1

Continue until exhaustion, then go to Yancy's and drink beer while surfing.

Since my dsl isn't installed yet.

At least I have an apartment full of boxes to show for two days of work.

But it's mostly over, and we've mostly survived. So all is well

... And the Horse You Rode In On

Apparently the saying "Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child" isn't quite severe enough for the Catholic Church. They're going with "Kill the Bitch, Go To Heaven." Awesome. Y'all just keep supporting them- doing whatever you want to whoever/whatever you want. Just make sure to confess and say a few "Hail Mary's" and you'll be Dead living the Good Life.

Jason F@cking Isbell

Jason tore up the Beachland Ballroom. Good crowd, great show, really good time. This was probably my favorite Isbell show yet. I can't wait to see him again next month. So far SF hasn't shown Isbell the love that it shows the Truckers, and I don't know why. Hopefully that all changes

Well I'll be....

It had to happen, but why wasn't I the one to think of it first?
I think I got a little tear of joy upon reading this.
God Bless America!
