Classic. I owned several of those. Usually had to replace them because the strap would come loose and the rear tire would rub a hole in the bag. One time I was riding along and heard a tinkling noise. I kept riding because the noise stopped and I figured that I probably ran over a piece of metal or something. Got home and realized that I had lost my metal tire irons through a hole in the bag.

All but a year of the time I spent working at Genentech, it was in Building 1, which was really just a converted warehouse, with windows only for a very few executives, and part of the lunchroom. The rest of the place had no windows. Nothing but artificial light. Every year when Daylight Savings Time started and I left work before dark for the first time, for the first whole week I felt like I was leaving early.

I remember hearing our company president telling someone that during the build-out for our new building they intentionally "laid out the office floor plan so that everyone has a clear view to a window".
Maybe he qualified earlier who counts as "everyone".

The regular office folk plus the executives get windows. No love for the shop personnel.

A head shaking moment during my winter foray into Ohio was seeing the line of vehicles at the car wash. All the way out onto the road. #CrazyLand

New tent arrived quicker than expecting. So I took it out for a short overnight hike to test it out.
