Next up: our federal gummint has its sights set on single-use plastic containers of all types. Meat counters in supermarkets will go back to being, well, meat counters: make a purchase, have it wrapped in butcher's paper.

I think so too; has to be. And yes, deffo a hornet, not wasp.
Edit: (slaps own head) I forgot that bald-faced 'hornets' are, technically, wasps, not hornets proper, despite their colouring.

Hey boss, every time I turn to Bike Forums, I get the following from my anti-virus:
"We've safely aborted connection on clmg9.lbsrv.net because it was infected with URLhishing"
Sounds a loud alarm bell, which makes my wife suspect I'm surfing pron. Just started a couple of days ago. Anything on the forum end?

"single use" plastic bags have been gone for over a year now. plastic straws a bit longer. I think the plastic cutlery is gone as well. At any event in my city the food vendors have to serve takeaway food in compostable containers (I don't know about the rest of the country). Meat trays are still allowed, provided they are made of a recyclable plastic. Oh and if you forget your re-useable grocery bag the supermarkets charge you about $0.30 for a paper one. Though that last one is just the supermarkets making more $$$ of their customers.

I've seen Zap on the road near the Rose Bowl but I haven't ridden with him. Friends have and say he's a decent rider. He race motocross locally before his magazine days. He wore a tall Mohawk back in his mx days.

It's so wild to be reminded of Zap every now and then. I used to read MBA religiously BITD.

I don't know if there is any difference between current P-Zeros and the ones I tried a little while back (2 years ago, maybe), but I was not impressed with the ride quality compared with GP5000TL (less supple). I using the new Vittoria Corsa Pros now, and I think they are a slightly nicer ride than the Contis.

You can bring your own bags of any type but during the c19 thing they didn't allow bringing bags.

Before Dirt Bike there was Modern Cycle which had some really funny writing. Reminded me of early National Lampoon stuff.

Thanks for the heads up. I think it’s gunna come down to what the shop has in stock. Today they didn’t have any 700x30 or 700x28 in stock of the contis. There is one other shop I could check out, but I don’t speak of it.
