    When gear swap pictures turn into someone else’s item and inserts on every listing. I.e. selling a white car but image of a blue bike for all. Its also annoying when looking to buy GS items. Don’t these ads pay for reasonable support?

    Does that smell bad? Never heard of it, I don’t think we have that back east.

    Smell? No. Propagate downwind? Yes. Nasty stuff. If you spray the rosettes in the Fall you can control it easily. If you let it flower it spreads on the wind like wildfire. Seriously irresponsible of people to allow the spread of noxious weeds IMO.

    Not to mention those fuckers hurt when you catch one across your knuckles while mountain biking. Hate scotch thistle!

    Aren't there fines for allowing that to grow? I know there are here in Oregon. Report the a-hole.

    Goats; lots and lots of goats.

    Sometime in the distant, blurry past, following a really wet winter there was a huge spring bloom down in the desserts of Southern California and a subsequent mass painted lady butterfly migration northward later in the early summer. Turns out painted lady butterfly caterpillars REALLY like scotch thistle - completely eliminated any need for control in our immediate area and they never really recovered.

    Is it like the northeast thistle that feels like fiberglass has been impregnated into your flesh when rubbed upon?

    Yeah... if she was a true a-hole. She's a single mom raising two boys alone after her husband was killed by a texting driver so not going to report her. That said her boys could at least mow or she could hire someone to spray & mow. She's got the means.

    Love it when Mother Nature takes care of things.

    Pretty much. Takes a machete to bring down the big ones and it's still a lot of hacking.

    Do you have a cheatgrass problem in your neck of the woods? Cheatgrass annoys me, but it’s taking over huge swaths. Most people don’t realize how bad it is.

    Cheat grass is ubiquitous around here so is puncture vine and star thistle.

    I have some land up in Idaho and I get a notice in the spring if I have invasive weeds on the property. If I don't take care of it by a certain date then the county does and just sends me a bill. Seems like a good solution.

    i'm sure they are but watching them zip in and out of traffic, on and off the sidewalk, in and out of the bike lane does not seem ideal for life expectancy

    This seems like a compelling reason to encourage scooter use. Thin the herd a bit.

    I agree that they look like a recipe for head injuries.

    They are also annoying as fuck when you're walking on the sidewalk getting buzzed left and right by them.

    Probably a good time to bring back some punk rock fashion and encorporate spikey bits into your wardrobe.
    I see hydraulic turtles.

    Yesterday I considered randomly throwing elbows to my side, figuring I might get lucky and hit one.
