    Dear Large Vehicle Drivers:

    what the f--- is it with you? First, a logging truck hits and kills a cyclist because "he didn't have room to move over." Now, a bus driver has hit a cyclist because he tried to pass without giving enough clearance. At least both drivers were cited, but really????

    Crap. Thank goodness the second cyclist survived, but even so, there's no excuse. And the first is simply tragic.

    Mimi and RD- My heart goes out to you both. May there always be at least a glimmer of light, even in the darkness. We will both be thinking of you two.

    Dear misguided person(s) who stole Donald's bike last night:

    Edited now that I got my ranting & raving out of my system

    You must not have any clue what you have done, no-one can be that awful (I hope). Please return Katrina to Donald & Mimi, safe and sound and soon. Thank you.

    Dear "surgirl",
    if you have custom plates on your car, cutting off people on bikes and almost hitting my DH is not the smartest thing you can do. Had he not been pulling a bob trailer full of groceries on his single speed he probably would have caught you as you peeled out to avoid us chasing you down. Would have called the police but knowing that the day before they issued an inattentive driving to someone who purposely pulled in front of tri-racer and then slammed on the brakes, causing the biker to crash, we decided it would be a waste of time. Instead the next time you have a flat tire, think of us

    Good luck!

    Dear customers:
    I promise you, I'm not hiding anything in your size. That's not good for you, me or my employer. If it's not on the floor or in the back in its box, we don't have it. We might be able to get it. What goes on the floor is what The Powers that Be think will sell. That often does not include things in your size range. I frequently have the same problem. I'm not lying if I tell you we don't have something after I've checked both the stockroom and both racks. Stop acting like I am.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Dear self, getting hand foot and mouth disease is definitely a life experience I don't ever intend to have. Better kit up with the alcohol disinfectant spray, alcohol hand sanitizer, scrub downs and vitamins. Perhaps, some vodka at night for steady nerves.
