Speaking of biking...bikers...what's the rules of the road for a vehicle passing a bicycle that's on a paved shoulder (not a full lane paved, maybe 5-6 feet)? I generally try to treat a bike as if it's a vehicle, giving a lane, or a least the better part of one, but I'll admit that when faced with oncoming traffic, I've passed without moving over much, but in those cases, I slow wayy down to like 35-45 instead of 60.
Today, I was southbound on a state highway, a train of bikers headed northbound. I wasn't surprised when a few people basically passed them doing 60 without getting over, but I was surprised that this also included a sherriff's deputy. I mean, he may have slowed down to 50-55, but it was essentially just a brake tap and right on by.

I was thinking I shouldn't even post that figuring one of you would be about 99.9% to come back with something smartass. I would have preferred to be wrong. You don't HAVE to on every single post. Like 75% would probably be adequate even for you guys.
And, yes, I am pretty sensitive to being mocked about something that has ****ed my life up for decades.

Well, if mine came across wrong, I apologize, I was not intending to pile on, more to stop that line of discussion without being a heavy about it...in hindsight, though, it clearly seemed better formed in my head than it came across. I wasn't intending to be a smartarse in THIS case (although I'll admit that is not a common thing)...someone in my presence's actual, real life, ongoing health issue is not something I typically joke about, unless it's my own.
Please accept my apology. I realize that my smartarse history would indicate that I'm not being truthful here, but I assure you, I am.
In a feeble attempt at getting everyone smiling again without inappropriateness...I present to you, SMART fortwo wheelstand:
Yeah. My son just got a hold of my wife's ice cream sandwich. So his eating habits seem to be taking after mine.

For some reason that gif reminded me of this:

Follow up to my earlier Rapid City post. The maze out there is legit. I remember finishing it as a kid, but we only made it half way thru it this time.
Of course, having little Cooler exclaim, "Daddy I have to poop NOW" may have prompted an early exit.
I wanted to go back in and finish it, but my wife developed a blister and was pretty much done.
I dislike quitting

I approve, GTO. That's about what myself and my sister looked like when we came home. And no Latin/Italian/etc. blood in us.
Well, ice cream = dairy.

Hmmm. Got about five pages into bklyn thread and I gotta say I'm siding with Pants on this one. I question it's validity. He typed a LOT during a time any same person would be figuring out a solution.
No pics I would guess more seed. otherwise weeds will be there long before grass.
