This article on The Chainlink hits all the points. THIS is what anti-bike civic planners need to read. Most of All, Cyclists Want a Safe Place to Ride Rest assured we don’t like cars barreling down on us any more than drivers want cyclists slowing them down. All we ask for is a situation where motorists and cyclists can peacefully coexist, and arrive at our respective destinations without getting in each other’s way. Bike Paths Don’t Cut It for Practical Transportation Imagine if your roads went like two miles and then just abruptly ended at some random grassy field. It…

First of all, just because of the best damn Chrome extension since ever, I’m using Chrome. Second of all, Drumpf threw another tantrum. Again? But because of that extension, I am pleased to quote: Donald Drumpf is throwing a tantrum and threatening to run as a third-party candidate for president because the Republican Party and Marco Rubio are being mean to him. I’m more and more convinced that he’s tapped Christie as his most likely VP choice and exit strategy. He shakes things up, gets bored or mad, and quits after being nominated (or God help us, elected) and Christie…

David and I listened to this follow up story Thursday on the retired Thiokol engineer who tried to stop the Challenger disaster, and had a parking lot moment of our own. We were meeting Dad and Linda (my father-in-law Sheldon and Shel’s girlfriend Linda) for dinner. As the story ended, we listened, pausing before getting out of the car. NPR listeners evidently had their own driveway or parking lot moments, and responded quickly to the original story. It’s nice to report so many acts of kindness to try to comfort a dying man. After NPR reported Bob Ebeling’s story on…
