These guys are nicer than I am, too. I would have jutted out in front of the Explorer and stopped to confront him. I'm confrontational and all.

What an asshole! I hate idiots like that. I hope the driver is tracked down and ticketed. He's a dangerous driver.

I've been harassed on my motorcycle, but never like this.

I've had cars beep behind me and it pisses me off. It startles me and there is no reason to do it. Which is why they do it I'm sure. Oh look how funny it is to make the girl on the scooter jump! hahaha. I'd like to dick punch them.

Wouldn't a roll of quarters be better for punching?

either that or the chain I keep in reach right through their windshield.

Stephen Dickson   Some cyclists can be annoying too but still, it's a battle between a ton of vehicle against an exposed rider. Is there really that much cred to be gained by mowing them down?

I ride a motorcycle and I can't tell you how many times we are behind cyclists on the mountain roads who are riding three or four wide, coming far into the lane against state law that requires bikes to ride single file. It's annoying, but we just pass them and move on. We don't ride behind them harassing the riders with our horns.

Heck I walk behind people on sidewalks that walk in groups across the whole walkway making it impossible to pass by their slow asses but I don't scream at the top of my lungs for them to get the fuck out of the way. At least not out loud.

In Colorado it's legal to ride two people wide if you're not impeding the flow of traffic, which is defined as when a rider notices that traffic is being held up, at which point you're supposed to ride single-file.  Cars have to hold a three-foot clearance when passing.  So while I'm all for cyclists, if there's a car behind them and they know it, they're obligated to get out of the way.

Huh.  On looking at the car and the description of the guy, I think I've encountered him -- or at least an older guy driving an Explorer in Boulder County, two of the guys I ride with, and I, had a discussion that involved me getting out the printed colorado uniform motor vehicle law section on bicycles and offering to show it to him, at which point the discussion went downhill and he drove off in a huff.  It wasn't this bad, though.

So, yeah, this is a road I ride twice a week, and on returning to work after my time off, my coworkers were all "hey did you see that video?"  We have three people who think they recognize him/can do a visual ID based on our hostile interaction at the same place six months ago, and are going in to chat with the police on Tuesday.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch?

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch? What has Apple done since the launch of the iPhone that was truly innovative? I read articles all he time about features this and software that, but I haven't seen anything where it was definitively proven where Apple has been cutting edge for years. christopher rizzo called me a troll for questioning his religious adherence to Apple consumerism.  So, can someone explain where Apple is truly innovative? I'm not talking about a minor change like the USB-C port or "slide to unlock" but a true innovation that's once again changing the industry. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3043419/what-the-apple-watch-does-that-googles-watches-dont
