Yeah, this was in Boston, Beacon Hill to be specific, not known for wide sidewalks… I was in good shape in those days, I could cruise all day at 15mph, for my half hour commute I could maintain 20mph easily, I would pass cars pretty much continuously in downtown areas, the street was where I belonged…
That’s how I am with the bat out of hell album… Get off my lawn.
you are now out $500 for missing work and other legal fees
Legal fees can easily reach into the thousands…
I did way back when I was 18/19… I was riding my bike home from work, and a cop directing traffic yelled at me to get out of the street. Without even thinking, I yelled back “go fuck yourself”. He called to his partner across the intersection, “Mike, get him!”. Mike was on a motorcycle. I was sure I was fucked, but I knew the neighborhood, so after salmoning up a one way street full of double parked cars, and taking a couple turns, one being into a narrow alley that’s almost invisible unless you already know it’s there, I got behind him - figured that was the best place to be… He never looked back, just slowed down, looking in doorways, between/under parked cars, until I got within a couple blocks of my house, then I hauled ass and locked myself (and bike) in the basement for the next half hour.

Do you know what she’s called?
I think gen x did that… You’re welcome.
Do you teach your kids to swim, or to stay away from water? Guess which is more effective at preventing drowning?
Toddlers are plenty rebellious already, it’s just a different kind. Teenagers rebel against authority. Toddlers rebel against their own existence.
Yeah but that’s an average, you never know when he’s going to double up one week so he can take the next one off…
Would you have accepted “righty tighty lefty loosely”?
Fahrenheit is fine for temperatures that humans can experience in our environment (and expect to survive, at least for a little while…)
Where wolf?
including the dak side of it.
I assume you mean dark- but there is no dark side, the moon rotates with respect to the sun as it goes around the earth, so it has a day / night cycle of about a month.
I’ve worked a lot of different jobs over the years, some well in my skill set, some well outside, and if there’s one thing I’ve noticed, it’s that with very few exceptions, knowledge and skills matter very little, what matters most is sucking up to the boss, a skill I am exceedingly bad at. Interestingly enough, one of the jobs where skill mattered most was construction, even when I worked for my uncle, he barely cut me any breaks. He once said “you hammer like old people fuck”. Not to mention the number of times he yelled at me because I was shit with a tape measure. “Cut it 3 times and it’s still too short”. Yeah nepotism didn’t help me there.
I live in a suburb to the east of Phoenix. I wouldn’t even consider a job on the west side. Nothing to do with Europe, just the reality of a large city.
I mean, that doesn’t rule anything out…
Such a weird thing to say … when I was little ('70s) it was not uncommon for kids to swim nude, we didn’t care… Any adults who are ogling kids aren’t going to stop just because of one layer of clothing.
