After driving 1600 miles across the country, I think we can safely say that there are many many drivers who are now very comfortable with cruising at the speed limit in the left lane, and, second,...

Cue the opening sequence of Super Troopers.

Not too skinny. Lots of girth. Where it counts.

No, I'm talking about paper bags. It's the latest tech.

Excessive bag use.

Yeah, that's a real problem.

All the suburbanites must feel so much better they're helping the polar caps freeze back by carrying their own bags into a massive supermarket...

Oh man we've gone full circle. Why not absorb the price the store owners paid for that bag, which is like, a penny or something, spread that cost over all items sold, which won't amount to jack shit...

Fat and ugly and bad attitude. Probably an old growth forest down there.

Should I have offered her some drugs for a bag? What's the etiquette there?

No, that was just added for effect.

face palm.

My rant was inspired not by a supermarket visit. I actually carry bags for that. It was from a visit to a "deli" (boy, is that term abused these days. Maybe a subject for another rant) in Vermont. A...

Precisely. But don't put them in plastic bags! Or any bag at all.

Put all the plastic packaging the market forces me to buy into them for recycling.

And, fine, if a bag is a penny, just add it to everyone's hundred dollar plus shopping bill for a week's food. Is...

Bags.

I understand this plastic bag thing. Sea gulls strangling on them and all, I'm ok with the ban. So, fine, but, what the fuck is it with no bags? I mean, am I supposed to be walking around...

Face timing in public with the speaker phone a few feet from other people. What the fuck.

Isn't it snowing where you are? Why so snappy?

First world problems, third door to the left.

Dude, order ahead on the app out in the parking lot.

It's like the 21st century needs nametags.

There's your problem.

Or Loveland.

I posted a Glen Plake insta post in the Mammoth thread of he and his wife really enjoying wind buff. They seem far from annoyed, along with some mags reporting at the same time.
...

But then they'll have to send a card proclaiming that they did their annual good deed, and don't want it unnoticed.

John Glenn's record is going to be hard to beat.

True. I once considered RE in an IRA, and had a good friend who made his riches in the biz stop me for that reason.

I was thinking on a recent road ride how my next bike might not be a custom titanium dura ace, but one of those high end Trek e Roadies. Dolomites, here I come!

When rich tech bros say shit like this “Our dream is to free the world from traffic,”

No, your dream is to be a billionaire doing blow with hookers in your hot tub while your business operates in...

I have heard a few younger relations announce at gatherings, when asked about their school search, say that they were primarily interested in a prime sports scene. Not to participate in, but, to be a...

Imagine the confusion if they were wearing MAGA hats.

They kill a lot of people in that show. A lot.

It's a fascinating portrayal of modern Italy. The Italians love it. The haircuts annoy me.

I just discovered that HBO Max gives me the option of watching Gomorrah, an Italian made crime show, in either Italian in subtitles or crappy dubbing. Check the Netflix website about her shows.

Replacing sneaker laces. What a pain in the ass to find some.

Hey, you forget all winter, then, bam, summer.

Leaving a package of gummies in the car on the first 80+ degree day of Spring.

Nope, too close bugs me. Had some asshole squeeze his monster truck next to me at Hunter this season and just shrug at me when I said, what the fuck? He has a little body work to deal with.

Wise choice.

Don't annoy me. I had a ticket to Plattekil I cancelled and rescheduled for another day. Most likely rain on that day, too.

Skiing in the northeast is annoying. I mean, I've wrapped my brain into accepting no travel to real mountains, and then it rains on a day when they said just a few days ago it would snow a foot.

So you're paying for that bullshit? My sympathies.

Who's paying?

This is getting annoying

Well, yeah, when the remote is broken. Duh.

It's actually the Yamaha receiver. Piece of shit.

The volume control on my TV remote is pretty much dead. Only the volume. So now I have to get up and walk five feet to adjust the sound. Turn a damn dial.

I guess you just cant get good help these days.

Those commercials for screens over your gutters that are running like every five minutes on certain channels. The dude looks like a bad Jim Carrie character. And everyone else is so dumb.

Amy Poehler

Commercial content these days is another sign of inequality in our society. A lot of advertisers could care less about the bottom 80% of Americans, because they have no money. That's why you see so...

Of course that bothers you.
