Dear So and So

[malkin]

Dear Sit Bones,
I ordered you a B33. I hope you like it.

It took a little while because of course I won't buy a saddle from any place but Wallbike, and Bill had to order it, because he doesn't normally stock Honey Gold, and I need it to match Brewer's saddle on the tandem.

love,
your brain

Dear TE gals,

Just found out mom is in stage five kidney failure, her next step is dialysis and a trip to Barnes in STL to see if she's a viable transplant candidate.

Please send her some positive thoughts.

[indysteel]

(((Pax))) I'm so sorry. Sending positive vibes to you and your mom. Please keep us posted.....

[OakLeaf]

Oh man Pax - adding both of you to my good vibes list.

Looks as if Ernesto didn't hear you. Good luck and stay safe.

Thanks Pam!

We were lucky -- Ernesto went north of us. We have had very high tide and 3" of rain, but the highest winds have been a 37 mph gust -- not even tropical storm force! I think we're going to come through this one just fine. Everyone prepared and was ready for it, which helped. We had plenty of warning!

[PamNY]

Pax, sending you good energy and wishes for peace and healing for your mom.

Emily, so glad you had nothing worse than rain and a little wind.

[VeganBikeChick]

So glad you're safe, Emily!

[Pax]

Emily - glad Ernesto passed by without much damage!

Dear TE gals,

Oh Pax, I am sorry to read this, and sending her and you as many positive thoughts as possible. Also a hug.

[emily_in_nc]

Thanks, ladies (re. Ernesto)! The worst damage was to my butt -- I slipped and fell on our wet stairs going out this morning. I'm going to have a lovely bruise. Owie!

Pax, so very sorry about your mom.

[Pax]

We met with the nurse practitioner and mom is going to get a fistula put in in the next month to prep for dialysis... right now she's thinking a transplant is way too much surgery for her, so the trip to Barnes is on hold for now.

Dear fellow residents of Franklin, Indiana. Are four-way stops really that difficult to understand? Here's how the work: Come to a complete stop and then wait your turn. You all seem to have trouble with both of these requirements as nearly EVERY day, I deal with somebody who just doesn't get it.

You also either get confused or angry when I honk. If you're confused, that means your truly don't understand how these stops work and/or aren't paying enough attention to figure out when it's your turn. Both of these options are scary. If you're angry, then you're arrogant jerks who think it's MY fault you're breaking the law. Again, this option is scary. In either event, you're some of the worst drivers I've ever encountered and I'm tired of you.

I think I wrote a very similar post awhile back.
Here, people Stop at the sign and then wait until all drivers are at the sign. Then they wait more. They wave you through when it's their turn. They don't get it.
Say what you want about Arizona, but at least they got this one.

Yeah; that variation of the problem happens a lot, too. Is it really that hard to pay attention as to who got their first? The guy this morning went when it was my turn and so I honked. He then stopped in the middle of the intersection to yell at me. Because I was the one in the wrong apparently.
