My opinion is it is very good wine, but high priced. The small amount of extra "goodness" is not worth being 3x to 4x the price of some very nice wines. But your mileage may vary.

Good god. The stupid hurts. At least the comments made up for it.

He is part of the republican party that believes if you repeat something enough it is true, no matter how outlandish the claim.

I don't take this to the extreme of never talking to the cops, but if you have any inkling that they think you might be connected to whatever they are investigating, get a lawyer before you say anything.

And I'm OK with that. It will probably be good for their health to cut that crap from their diet.

After 25 years of marriage and both of us pushing 50 we are at about 4X per week. We have gone through dry spells because of various illnesses and prescription drugs, but have held pretty solid for the last few years. My wife would like more, but that is about my limit without "enhancement" (which can result in that 4x being per day). I don't think it is too much of a reach to find someone who would be up for every day.

Being pissy about it though is a bit out of line.

I usually say "bike behind you", much more efective than "on our left" because they invariably go to the left. If I say "bike behind you" and brake, they will run in mindless circles then get out of my way and I can safely pass them.

I mostly stay off trails. Roads are safer.

Places that take your debit card aren't required to post the charges immediately, though most do. You are still liable for those charges and will be charged an overdraft charge if you don't have sufficient funds to cover it. Why is that a difficult concept to understand?

Rain isn't a problem if you are prepared. I ride all year and end up riding in the rain a lot. Seattle rain is usually not too hard So a rain jacket and booties go a long way to keep you dry and warm.
