Dear Headset:
You weren't supposed to fail - you're on the nearly new, bought assembled from a bike shop, bike. The five other bikes in various stages of assembly/disassembly/reassembly have excuses for being unavailable to ride today. But your bike was supposed to be the trustworthy "go to" bike. This is especially galling considering the wonderful weather of the last two days. Oh well, your replacement has been bin upon, won, and paid dearly for.

Dear credit card number thieves:
This is a family website so I will refrain from saying what I think about you. Why do you target bike people? This time you must have gotten my number from either the online purchase of bike panniers, or an in person purchase at an LBS. Previously, you got my number twice in the Nashbar debacle. Luckily I paid for the headset mere hours before your actions froze my account.
