I wrote an angry letter. They responded with a general apology but said without the van number they could not directly educate the driver. I wrote back accepting that and asking that they remind ALL their drivers of the 4 foot safe pass law in our state. Obviously today’s bad actor did not get the memo.

Crap. I just learned a club-mate was riding home from a group ride (not mine) and was hit by a Comcast Van. He will be ok but has a broken pelvis so will be off the bike for several weeks. I had an unsafe pass and nearly clipped by one of their vans a few months ago. Sad.
I'm pretty sure I got a punish pass for the first time today. Van behind me on an empty road had moved into the far lane but changed back and came fairly close to me. Nothing technically illegal but it was totally unnecessary to change back into the right lane that soon.

Sounds like Comcast needs to work on their drivers.

Well, actually, if I get up early enough, might do a few fake recovery miles.

I eat maybe one cheesesteak a year. I used to drink Iron City when I went to Pitt Law because it was cheap. $1 for a 16 oz bottle at a dive bar near my apartment. For $5 you could get a buzz, a pack of Beer Nuts and leave a tip. I grew up eating scrapple with butter and ketchup.

They started trying to push Iron City in Portland around the turn of the century. Then a little while later Old German started trying to wedge itself into the market. I was like come on man, bring some Yeunglings over instead. That's supposed to happen soon now, but I don't think they've announced a date as of yet.

Obviously, some things never change.

Speaking of wine, here is tonight's selection. Initial impression is very good acidity similarly to a burgundy. This is a red blend so I'm not sure what it is exactly. Would be great with most food, since the tannins are minimal. It is also organic so I get virtue signaling points.
I googled it and I am surprised by the grapes. Basically grapes popular southern France especially the Rhone region.
