Both are awesome, though. Can't wait to play with the GX in the snow.

That's odd. They would never build a nest close to the ground where critters, and worse, humans can reach it.

I think a lot of birds of prey might opportunistically eat carrion.

Were you late for the race? Were you wearing pajamas? Did you find yourself signed up for races you didn't remember signing up for but you had to race them anyway? Did you realize they weren't your pajamas, but actually your underwear? Did you find your bike had no chain? Did you realize they weren't your underwear at all and you were in fact stark naked, but nobody had noticed it yet and you had to walk a long way back to your care and you couldn't figure out how to do that without somebody noticing your nakedness?
No, does this happen to you often?

After my forrester. I’ll never buy a subaru ever again.
Just a garbage vehicle. I don’t know why they are so popular. Knock for leaking oil, interior felt cheap and I had the top of the line. Gas mileage was terrible. Everyone assumed I was a hippie.
And no they, are not better in the snow.

I put studded tires on it for the winter and it was great on ice and snow. It got about 25 mpg and the only issue I had is the seat didn't go back far enough. I've had the same problem with other Subies.

Second pizza ride of the year today. Beautiful, no wind, and we did a bonus climb near the start. My friend flatted and I changed the tube for her so she bought my lunch.

$2000 a pound coffee? And there's not even any mention of an animal pooping out the beans before roasting!

Dang, so cheap! Wish they had places like this at this kinda price out here. Points off for being 2-story. 10000 bonus points for being on a brick road. Wonder how life is in Jamestown, NY. I see it's the home of the National Comedy Center AND the Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz Museum...

So I'm driving home after an invigorating band practice. In a residential area. Almost no one else on the roads there, it being after 9 p.m.
I reach the straightaway leading to the main road when suddenly police lights go off behind me.
I had gotten busted for not completely stopping at the stop sign. (two, actually).
As I sat waiting for him to process my information, I couldn't help but think of the unfairness of the world. I was getting a ticket for that on empty streets, when I see so much speeding and otherwise unsafe driving out there every day?
He came back and gave me a warning only. My perfect driving record is still intact.

For good reason. It shouldn't have taken until November the first year for you to start doing some real soul searching on how your life went wrong.
