Suppose you can’t make anybody wear one but I would think the Ride would strongly encourage it.
Random Thoughts 17: Here we go again.

Wife does something stupid and then gets mad at me because I can’t fix the issue. Some days marriage is great I tell ya.
There is not near that much supervision on Ragbrai people do seem pretty whiny about other people wearing helmets.
I'm guessing it was from the Joint/Separate accounts thread?
Looks like 00 started that thread. He was one of the OG around the early RTTs. Helped me get in at my employer, looked him up recently and he either left the company or was part of one of our divestures.
I hadn't noticed that thread was 10 years old, thought "wow, lots of people passionate about that topic, to blow up that fast" (I'm mostly a lurker, but no, I didn't like/post in it).
Takes a certain amount of passion, or something, to resurrect a thread that old.
So many times when an old thread is resurrected people (myself included) will start reading and reacting as if it is new. Eventually you realize it's an ancient thread.
Personally I feel a little dumb when I realize I just liked a post from 10 years ago.
Which thread resurrection was that there been some crazy necrobumps this wk. Never mind answered above the finance thread. I'll stay out of that one.
I too was reading it for several pages, until the topic had been largely exhausted and was degenerating into dumb/dumber exchange, never did notice the original year and quit before the resurrection. Was thinking about people I know who were on both sides of that issue, whose relationships failed or survived, separate/joint accounts didn't seem to be the deciding factor although finances might have been one, but not only factor.
Not looking at the year, just the date, and having not checked my electronic brain for today's date, thought the thread's July 20 date was today.
A mind isn't the first thing to go with age, my mind went long before age caught up.
Maybe because people might judge you for having a semi-original thought?
What's crazier to me is the Hawkeye recruiting thread, that's about 10,000 pages long.
It means your comment withstood the test of time.
It's not as old as @ImJustKCClone's most famous writing, the Magna Carta.
The Magna Carta is more famous than Her Ten Commandments??
Good point. And Lew does have a striking resemblance to Moses.
Y'all are going to get "bless your heart/souled" by KC if you keep that up.
Man, there have been a lot of softball lobs in the joint/separate accounts resurrection.
But humor or sarcasm often don't work well with strangers, especially when involving sex or money, or sex for money, so better to just let it go.
