Bike Shop Coffee Shop...

although I never really considered it...

I used to daydream about there being a Bicycle Shop-Coffee Shop in DC

a place where people could meet and fuel up before a group ride

a place where people could meet and drink coffee to talk about rides and riding

a place where people could get their bikes fixed as they drink coffee

a place where classic cycling films play year round... with weekly movie nights and weekly urban night rides

where is this places?

not dc

"Bike shop cafes have sprung up in Minneapolis, Portland, and other bike-mad cities in recent years (Portland even has a bike that is a cafe). But few, if any, do triple duty as bike manufacturing facilities."

Chuck Norris Endorses Newt Gingrich for President

www.huffingtonpost.com

I am open minded...

my vote is not so simple as voting my party

how about this?

if Newt Gingrich can convince all the woman in the United States to allow an open marriage

then I will both endorse and vote for Newt Gingrich

so... who are the protecting and serving?

funny...

my morning drives to drop the kids off at school can often involve a bit of frustration

from the second we walk out the door until the second I return home

the whole experience often carries elements of anger and frustration

my poor kids

having to listen to my diatribes

my rants about the traffic around me

all the cussing at the idiots and assholes swarming around me

whether trying to get across town in the car

or just trying to get across the street on foot

there can be so many cases where the behavior of those behind the wheel cause me anger and frustration

the most funny is when that idiot or asshole is an officer of the law

last week I took the kids to school taking a road that cuts through The National Zoo

at a stop sign almost within view of the Ibex I made a complete stop

then as I was about to take my turn to progress forward a parked Zoo Cop to my right opened their door and tagged my car

it was audible... I heard it the officer heard it

the officer continued to get out of his vehicle never apologizing

in fact... this rather muscular specimen of a man inflated

like a puffer fish out of water as he stepped out of his car

one out of the car he gave me a firm stare

no wave... no indication or realizing his error

my main objective... getting the kids to school

I will take the scratch on my car and pass on the conversation with the Zoo Cop or any cop for that matter

then this morning headed back from drop off

I was taking a left at the light

coming the opposite direction was a Special Police police car

turning right with a merge lane

I progressed in the left lane

the officer gave me that police officer megaphone honk as I made my turn

what was his issue?

did he need more than the right lane

then as he approached on my side a block or two later he gave me a condescending stare

I gave it right back

I did not want to have a conversation with this Special Cop

but really... what is your issue?
