A goose charged me the other day. That sucker came right after me. I instinctively piped up with my best goose honk. Aggressive little thing. Probably could have done some damage.

Two comments on my squeaky breaks, "You should oil those brakes", one from someone waiting at a public bus stop, the other from a kid waiting for a school bus. My first inner thought was, "You idiot, bicycle brakes don't get oil, they get adjusted". Fortunately, I've learned to filter my first response. Then I explain that I like them loud because they act as a horn to stupid drivers. No, didn't say that last part, filtered. I do a lot of filtering on the bike. Idiots, every single one of them.
