Could a biologist shed some light on harvest time mass mortality?

Attributed to Hemingway but he probably didn't write it. https://www.thevintagenews.com/2017/...ory-ever-told/

I like it. Not the flat spot, but the flash fiction aspect. "For Sale: Two Bikes, never ridden."
Missing the tragic overtones of "For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn."

Nice! That's how I got my first cygolite hotshot (100 I think), it worked great for me for a few years, until recently. I bought a 150 to replace it

A 1/2" shallow-depth socket – Husky brand. Are all Husky tools black in color as opposed to chrome?

Sockets are the most common tool I find on the roads. I love adding them to my toolbox, especially knowing they've been dropped from work trucks and their bicyclist-hating drivers.

Black sockets are often used with impact guns, chrome ones aren't.

I'm there with you. After more than a decade of daily commuting I can probably count on one hand the number of things I've found worth keeping.

For some reason that reminds me of a tale of the old west. Mule skinners were throwing black rocks at their mules to "encourage" them. They later found the black rocks contained gold. Not sure how true it is..

that is because most of the time you are commuting all the stuff is underneath snow, ice, etc. haha
