Ugh, Oak. That sounds like a giant cluster. I stopped leading rides because of stuff like that. I hope the ride goes well despite the problems.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Dang, Oak, what a mess!
Oak, I feel for you. I only lead 2-3 rides a year now. They are set routes (by me!) that are annual events for one of my clubs. We became friends with a guy who was a new leader a couple of years ago and he has become a prolific leader for AMC. But, he always wants to eat dinner and socialize afterwards and I do not prefer to be hanging around in sweaty bike clothes for hours. We did a trip to Mystic, CT with him early in the summer and everyone else made fun of our "camping" shower we brought along in the car. He leads rides every weekend and I just don't want to do that. It seems like the rides are being overpopulated by a bunch of whiny women from the city.

Dear neighbor,
There's never a good reason for using a weed whacker at 4:20 AM. Really. So you wanted to clean up the yard before setting up for the yard sale, should have done it last night, before 8pm.
Dear immune system:
Stop over reacting; it is just pollen.
Snot I understand, and can deal with; muscle aches, joint pain and fever are not useful.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
Dear university:
I am pretty sure you are screwing me over. I don't have proof, but the numbers don't add up. Argh.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Saving for the next one...
Dear guys who had a gunfight on my block yesterday,
A. this is Kentucky, we haven't been the western frontier in about 200 years. So knock it off!
B. before you try this again, please spend some time at a shooting range, actually learning to shoot. More than 20 rounds and only one hit what it was aimed at, apparently. Y'all are lucky stray rounds hit houses and cars and garbage cans and not the kids coming home from school.
Of course, when the cops catch the 2 of you who aren't in the hospital, you won't be shooting anything for quite a while.
