Yeah, well.... Tuesday someone went through my seat pack while my bike was locked up in our garage at work... stole my Multi tool and pocket knife.

I think I'll start locking my bike in the electrical enclosure... it's a solid wood fenced area so you can't see it's in there... plus my office looks out over it and I can see if anyone is hanging around there.

I just lock my bike outside but I took all the extras off my hybrid to do the shopping.
The stores around here supposedly offer that discount... I say supposedly because you practically have to twist their arms to get it... and even if you ask for the discount they usually just look at you funny for a minute. Meh... it's usually not even worth my time to try to get the discount.

They're trying to pass a law here that the stores have to charge 10 cents per plastic grocery bag used... I'll make sure they know I'm not using a bag then! heh
