(((Oak))) it always amazes me when someone so good comes from such a bad place.

Dear friend's dad:

Using your daughter's single complaint/observation about her pet(s) as an excuse to rehome them within two days is not cool. I think you're just showing your own dislike for her animals and using her comment to justify it, dressing it up as helping her. You did this first with the parrot she raised from a chick, and not six months later with her cat. I'm surprised that you haven't yet found an excuse to get rid of the other parrot. She very much benefits from the animal companionship--it helps with the depression you refuse to recognize.

Grr.

Thanks all. Hugs were definitely welcome this weekend, and (maybe unsurprisingly) it will be very rough for a few weeks while I sort out some more unexpected and very ugly stuff...


Dear Owlie's friend - hugs. Dear Owlie's friend's dad - do not mistreat your daughter right now because I am in the mood to come there myself and punch you hard.

This makes both of us - and sending hugs to Owlies friend.

Dear local traffic engineers and planners

Sometimes I wonder if you're trying to kill cyclists. There are bike lanes that continue across an intersection, yet run to the right of right turn only lanes. There's Main St., with 4 lanes of one-way traffic that often goes 50 mph (instead of the posted 35), and a bike lane completely in the door zone of very busy on-street parking. And now you've started putting in sharrows, with no effort made to educate the public as to what these weird markings mean. WTF?

Of course, it's not just cyclists. You also have it in for pedestrians...

And people wonder why this city was singled out for being the most sedentary in America.
