Oh, it's not quite that way. Outside of my neighborhood gets me out of town onto rural routes with 55mph speed limits, good sight lines and low traffic. No need to drive to ride.

There is a big difference between taking the lane on a two lane road and on a four lane road or even a three lane road with a middle passing/turning lane. When following cars have the ability to move over and pass at will, discouraging them from occupying the lane along with you is the right thing to do.

Truly. This is a person intentionally stoking the ire of drivers already angry at cyclists. She, rather than making it safer, is making it more dangerous for all. There are other options. On every video posted she has an enormous (by Indiana standards), shoulder that I would love to have the option of riding on.

Clean is the operative word there, too often loads of debris but still better than an irate cager in a monster truck.

Great rehearsal tonight. Gig Sunday. 3 dates coming up in November. Not much else but we're working on it.
We sound better every time we play. Our repertoire isn't so mainstream, and that doesn't help us get gigs, but when we sound good, we sound REALLY good. I have to respect my ears and judgement more than these bar owners, some of whom are rather clueless about music, and really have a different agenda than me. I'm just trying to have fun playing music. I could give a flying fark about how many people we draw into the bar. I'll be quite happy if we can average 2+ gigs monthly. It's keeping me out there and helping me improve as a musician, and that's really all I care about.

Casually Deliberate
In short is always "too late". That's what it means: "I have been very verbose, so here is a more concise distillation of what I was saying." If I could keep it short to begin with, I wouldn't have to say, "In short".
I see you were able to pick out the most significant aspect of my post. Good reading skills.
