  2. https://www.npr.org/2021/04/02/980008727/bike-thieves-are-on-a-roll-during-the-pandemic-heres-how-to-protect-your-ride Although bike theft has always been a common issue, especially in urban areas, it increased during the pandemic in a number of cities. The pandemic led to an unprecedented boom in bikes sales. The rising demand, increase in ridership, and shortage of bikes nationwide among other factors, has likely contributed to a rise in theft, according to Bike Index, a nonprofit organization and national bicycle registry. Novice cyclists who picked up the habit recently or are relying more heavily on bikes for transportation may also be unaware of the basics of bike security — especially in urban areas.
  3. How is that possible? Didn't you sign a contract agreeing on a price and date the project would be finished?
  4. Then why do I see so many Canadian plates in WY? I talked to some last week from Manitoba. I know you think Canadians don't come to WY, but they are here. And their cars did not fly here.
  5. Sounds like a great idea. Live in a nice house while others pay your mortgage and you make bank.
  6. Free form jazz odyssey. Put that coffee down. Coffee is for closers only. You think I'm fucking with you. I am not fucking with you. Third prize is you're fired. Fuck you, that's my name. You drove a Hyundai to get here I drove an $80,000 BMW, that's my name. Anything from that Baldwin scene.
  7. @ChrisL The bow and arrow cast with a Tenkara rod. These guys are a hoot
  8. Send him by my place. I think I have seven bikes that need work. I might need a gallon of Stan's.
  9. If your counter is already cluttered, why would you want another appliance? I just use a frying pan or the oven.
  10. As a kid I used to sprinkle Quick mix on vanilla ice cream and mix it up. It was delicious.
  11. Those are nice bowls, but that rolling pin is crazy cool.
  12. Tags need to go away. Emojis too.
  13. I Fnid It Odd Intelligent Post What is intelligent about this post?
  14. You don't want your wife to discover your Betty and Veronica fetish?
  15. Did you just find a trove of old comics? Any Archie?
  16. You are dead to me. Somebody needs to break your google.
  17. Ravens and Magpies sure are. I saw a bald eagle sitting in a tree surrounded by ravens. The eagle looked annoyed the ways eagles do.
  18. Look at how they patrol the parking lot for melons and steak.
  19. https://apnews.com/article/alaska-costco-shoppers-raven-steal-groceries-99b4db455f6d8bd9d18db091d0eeacb7 Lewallen said the piece of meat was about 4-by-7 inches (10-by-18 centimeters) large — a sizable meal for a sizable bird. “They know what they’re doing; it’s not their first time,” Lewallen said. “They’re very fat so I think they’ve got a whole system there.” Anchorage resident Tamara Josey replied to Waller’s post and referred to the ravens as “calculating.” She said ravens hovered her in an attempt to steal her groceries. “I had two ravens, one that was on the car next to me and he kept squawking really loud,” Josey said. “He would sit on the car and stare at me, then hop next to the bed of the truck on the other side, and he kept going back and forth. The other raven was on the ground. He kept trying to pull — I had those little mini-melons you have in the mesh baggies — he kept trying to grab the netting and pull my melons off the cart.” A raven started to fly in a circle around Josey until she got them to scram. “He was waiting for another opportunity to grab the melons off the cart, but they never were deterred,” she said. “They just stayed posted, waiting for their next opportunity to steal something out of my cart.” “They are very dedicated to their mission,” she added.
  20. I am going to need more straps. I have decided to give up cycling jerseys with their pockets and just strap everything to my bike and body.
  21. I was backpacking in the Hoh and an entire herd of Roosevelt elk came through our campsite. Hoof prints everywhere just next to my tent. I slept through the entire thing.
