HAHAHAHA!

I swear that's what I think they do after they take those emo pictures during their rides.

The crash wasn't my fault so at least she's not pissed at me. :innocent:

I was driving on a pretty twisty road and a lady came out of a side street - stopping at a stop sign, then proceeding to pull out directly in front of me to take a left. I literally had no time to react except for swerving a little to the right and caught her car just behind the driver's side door. The cop who showed up wrote her a citation for not using caution after coming to a stop, we exchanged info and the tow truck driver dropped the car off at a body shop and me at Enterprise to pick up a rental. Fun times.

In light of the numerous accidents in which you've been involved over the past year or two in the car, on the bike, and even on foot, have you considered the fact that you might actually be invisible?

I'm happy to hear that.

Scrodzilla 01-30-12 07:02 PM

Me too!

homebrewk 01-30-12 07:02 PM

What did the ***** say when you got out of [Angie's] car?

Scrodzilla 01-30-12 07:07 PM

She was apologetic. It happened in a really weird spot where I was coming up over a hill while curving to the right as she was pulling out of a side street. She said she didn't see me and it was pretty easy to believe after assessing the situation. I was surprisingly pretty chill throughout the whole thing.

homebrewk 01-30-12 07:12 PM

That's surprising. I'm glad to hear that it turned out alright!

Holy **** 75% discount?

At that big of a discount, you'd likely be moving into a place much MUCH cheaper than the one you are in now, or moving into an apartment that is significantly more ****** than the one you are in now. If the cost is less than or equal to what you are paying, this would be a no-brainer to me.

You could just ride somewhere else before/after work.

jdgesus 01-30-12 08:20 PM

i moved my studio back home last fall.. and the ride to and from the studio was a huge part of my riding fun.

Today I made dinner specials. Salmon cured in Johnny Walker Black served with a Laphroig orange and mascarpone sauce with pickled red onions, Scotch eggs wrapped in Merguez with buttermilk panna cotta and chive oil, and a country pate studded with smoked pistachios served with cranberry gin compote and dried sour kumquats. Awesome.

LesterOfPuppets 01-30-12 11:58 PM

Today I'm drinking Steel Reserve for the first time in 10 years. Kinda nice TBH.

yummygooey 01-31-12 12:09 AM

I started grading the first set of homeworks for a fluid mechanics class. What is wrong with some of these kids...??
