dear assholes, stop being assholes. Retractable leash? Retractable leases should be outlawed and people that use them should be beaten with the leash! I have 3 large dogs (& I love them!)... I walk them all the time with 6 foot leashes (no dog can get more then 6 ft from me). They never get the full length of the leash (except in a field). I don't know why people think it a great idea to stretch 12 feet of cord leash across a public trail or bike path??!?!? Assholes!! BTW - I also hate the off-leash dog walkers. I don't trust your dog, I've never seen it before in my life. So keep it on a leash on public trails!! ASSHOLE! Wrong thread, dudes. Here: People who own Dogs are assholes, - Fuck You to Hell!now I'm the ASSHOLE! TOTH for the help!

I worked at Target many many years ago and I still remember the bike dude who would come in on Sunday mornings and build all those Pacific bikes that came in on the trailer. That guy was the biggest asshole and he spent about 4.2 minutes per bike. I felt pretty bad for folks who bought those bikes.

TOTH to Doug riding with me on Baker Rd from Valley View to the SW LRT, good meeting you! & TOTH to all the other bike I saw on the PM commute.
WOTF to the MTC bus on Baker Rd (after Doug headed east on the LRT), you passed me and immediately cut in front of me to make a stop. WTF?! Wait behind me, it won't take that long and will not force me into the traffic lane to get around you. Driver had the window open and I hope hear me shout "Thanks A LOT!"
(edit, fixed bad typing)

TOTH to the weather, obvs.
TOTH to my new Mission Workshop messenger bag. Went into the Hub intending to buy a Chrome Metropolis, but talking to the staff there and comparing the bags led me to MW's Shed, which is more expensive and slightly smaller than the Metropolis, but still huge. It's lower-profile than the Chrome and looks very classy. Thanks Hub!
