Didnt know he was made by Trek

Actually... yes you are.

5th? I need to do some hill repeats.





or maybe some epo.

that vagrant situation. i think the best you could have done was direct her to whatever programme or people in the church organising the charity efforts. tell her to come back tomorrow and ask for reverand so and so.

169 this AM. God help you all if I get under 165.

you rode 169 miles this morning? amazing.

You'll see fatso. And you will Rue the Day.

During the summer when the kids are gone, the homeless population dramatically increases around here. Weather is nice, they can sleep outside, panhandling is productive, and for a small portion, they're still looking for the next Dead or Phish show.

Lately, a number of these folks have yelled at me at lights when I'm in my car and don't give them any money. In 13 years, this is the most aggressive they've been. One guy used the n-word last week, even though that's not entirely accurate. It made me feel sad for them. I want to help, but giving them smokes, or money, or vodka won't help, that's for sure. What I will give them, if I have any in my car, is food. And that usually is met with dismay instead of appreciation. As coasting says, maybe pointing them out to services might help some places, but not here. It's very sad. Clearly, the economy is partly to blame.

On a side note, why were you leaving the church gym that late? You have enough clout to have keys to the church?

You know, I've made a lot of Rueing Threats here over the past couple of years. And yet I get the feeling the only Rueing that has occurred has been my own.









It's a problem.

is velo the minister?

maybe he can forgive some of the sins of BF posters.

Only the Sisters of the Holy Order of Dura Achee in Ooofaa, Italy have that power.

Sadly, in my secretive calorie lockdown, weight-loss regiment against you, I am apparently losing. It's the alcohol. I can't give up the weekend sauce, although I tried briefly, for a day.

The sobering reality of Addiction.

Fixed for my own situation...

:D

Well, after a while, we see you as Velo's old church lady.

Guilty, me too that is....

It was volleyball night. I lingered a few minutes after everyone else left talking to another guy. He had just driven off.

Usually when people like that approach in that area they have some story about needing gas or bus money to get somewhere. She wanted cigarettes. She appeared from the lawn/flower bed in bare feet and started asking about a teaching job. It was very weird.

Go on.... I need the whole story now.

velo plays volleyball. why does that not surprise me.

You can count on Uncle Pcad to inject a little sober reason into this Idiot Thread.




We'll see how far that goes.

i see neither rhyme nor reason in this thread.

roses are red
violets are blue
get on your bike
it's time to rue

See earlier post (last page).

Rode the Ibis Ti 40 miles this AM.

I liked it.

i just had a brainwave. is it a coincidence that the french word for road is rue?

I'm even worse at volleyball than I am at cycling. The only thing I can do decently is serve, and even that was failing me last night.
