No, it won’t. But, is there anything that will at your age?

I don’t know if this happens where you guys work, but it’s a common occurrence where an older employee, one who is prolly about to retire, will come up to me and then start bad mouthing the company, very loudly.

Makes for an extremely awkward one sided monologue, with me looking for any means necessary to escape. Happens about once a month. I’m convinced that A. They have no F to give, they are so senior they are ublntouchable. B. They are trying to ruin my life.

Havnt figured it out yet.

Incase you are wondering whose fault it is when they don’t make it.











It’s mine.

And this is why I want my moat.

this sums up exactly how I feel. It’s so strong of a feeling, that I almost feel crippled by how much I care about my surroundings. Meanwhile 90 percent of the people today seem to only be interested in themselves.

And then there is American Airlines and it’s rescheduling of flights.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve booked flights to the Carib thru Miami, knowing that I will need long lay-over times because of how long it takes to get from one terminal to another or to get thru customs/immigration. Then, AA changes my flights giving me 10 minutes to connect outbound and 15 to connect inbound. Then I have to spend two hours on the phone with CS explaining how at least two hours are needed on the inbound flight due to the three hour lines to clear customs/immigration.

Joking. Might sound like a shock, but I have zero experience booking a flight on any airline.

I would imagine, the rescheduling of flights has a greater chance of happening the farther out the flights are booked.

Probably, but it’s scheduling algorithms don’t reflect reality.

Big john's gonna make fun of me, but I'm starting to jones again. This time for a Centurion Ironman. One of the guys on the ride had one - red and white, with Shimano 600 kit from between Arabesque and Tricolor. Too small for me, plus it's his bike. So I was looking on Craigs List like I often do and there's one up in Sonoma County. Red with 'Titanium', both metalflake. Same kit. Listed as a 56, but the pics look bigger than any 56 I've ever seen. Longer head tube, steeper angle between the seat tube and seat stays. Same 6207 kit. Seller's asking $300, but the listing's been there 16 days.....

Hi. I'm Doug, and I'm an addict. It's been 3 months since I last bought a bike.........

It's been pretty ugly so far. Oh well, at least the Red Sox lost today.

Also I'm all out of proper beer, and not going to the store today. But one beer is plenty for today.
