Thanks! Unfortunately I copied the address wrong, it is two blocks south at 3715 S. Hudson (3709 S. Ferdinand is the main Bike Works location)

Also, somebody in my house got the brilliant idea to use powdered graphite to stop a hinge from squeaking...the hinge is perfectly quiet, all right, and I have been wiping graphite residue off the door jamb for literally years. If cleanliness is an issue, use graphite very sparingly, or use something else for lube.

I hope your creation turns out great.

Kind of pathetic but the Watergate hearings remind me of the good old days too. My mother would only listen to the CBC because she was sure the US radio news wasn't giving the whole story.

I like that rat-king bit. Good mental image.

Me too! Simple, cheap, portable, the coffee tastes great.

Well, it can't hurt to give a little extra distance. Everybody should probably do that.

What a brilliant idea! Another regressive tax to punish the poor of Washington State. I know I’m driving a 25 year old car because a Prius isn’t styley enough for me…in fact why don’t we just tow all those old pathetic guzzlers and force those lazy good for nothing poor folks onto the bus where they belong? There’s nothing better after a long day on your feet than a long bumpy bus ride and 40 minutes of standing in the rain.

Especially ironic: when the only MILLIONAIRE at the table is the one suggesting splitting the tab. (And yes, this has actually happened to me.)

Shhh...don't tell anybody how reliable, safe and cheap old Volvos are or I will no longer be able to find one for $2000 on craigslist, should something happen to mine.

Seriously my '85 wagon gets 25 mpg and that's real math, not an EPA estimate. I also love how "anti-bling" they are.

I have to wonder what the people who need to pee are going to be doing while you're getting sauced up in the can, I have almost never gone to the bathroom on an airplane when there wasn't already a line. I would tend to think it's more like jaywalking: you look around to make sure noone sees what you are doing and then quickly and inconspicuously break the rules.

Another upvote for the pink trees, puts me in the mood for spring.
