Hell no. I always make fun of that. I live a few blocks from the Philly marathon route. All you hear is "Whoo! Great job, runners! Whoo!" No offense to the average run supporter, but it sounds ridiculous.P.S. Don't forget to make a sign.

I sold my soul to the Snap On man years ago, and had the right size. Since it said Snap On on it, and not Park Tool, I chose to buy the correct tool for the application. You know, for next time. That time has never come. Too bad that thought didn't work for the time I bought a Volkswagen drum brake spoon.....

Is this a takeoff of that Steve Miller Band song, The Joker?

After wifey and I got ticketed for open containers on the river here last year, we will be taking my non-clear bike bottles from now on.
We were literally sitting in innertubes tied to a tree on the hottest day of the year, drinking (gasp) bud light limes, and 6 cops showed up to ticket everyone in the area. Good times. After paying the fine that became the most expensive bud light I've ever (not) enjoyed.

So we're heading over to the Maya Riviera tomorrow, to celebrate our 26th. An adults only place this time. Nothing ruins a vacation like screachers in the pool, or anywhere else. We've decided to go by bus this time, since neither of us wants to participate in a five hour drive across the peninsula. We've also decided to catch the local bus here in Tixkokob, instead of driving to Merida for the express. Total travel time will be pretty much equivalent. Air conditioned comfort without the behind the wheel stress. Apart from the colorful plastic wristbands, we're looking forward to it.

People hate on all inclusive resorts for some reason, but they're some of the best BANG FOR BUCK in vacations available.
