No, I don't live in the city limits.

Because employers can't find workers when the migrant workforce disappears.

and i have a lot of respect for hispanic/latino workers. they work hard, and often get stuck doing really difficult work.
I feel like an utter ass out running for exercise through the neighborhood and seeing all the Hispanic laborers grinding away at the landscaping in thick clothing in the hot sun. I do always make sure to wave, especially since they always have to stop the mowers and leafblowers when I go by.

I thought you were going to tape a boiled potato or two to your top tube.

I do like TampaRaleigh's suggestion about the butter lube. That's brilliant.

Oooo - I could spend some money at this place.

i'll be just as giddy when we get around to scraping and repainting the siding. mr. ts tore off and re-did the flat-ish dormer in the back. he didn't really finish it, assuming we'd redo the rest sooner than we did.

I wish they would put their pre-Keo Look cleats on sale again. I had some in my cart for $12 once, but putzed around, watched a movie and fell asleep with out pulling the trigger, woke up in the morning, tried to check out and bam, $17. Now they're up to $20.

Annnnnd the Felt F4130 is back up to $2500 :(

Still pretty stoked about my $36 clipless MTB shoes from them, though.

Bullpoop! On many fronts!

Tell you what, this is definitely a P&R issue, so why don't we take it to P&R and discuss it at will? You open a new thread and I'll promptly join you.
