I'm pretty busy today. I just counted one pulse beat and multiplied by 80.

You can remove bike pedals with a crescent wrench?!? Fuck! Why did I just spend that $16? Wait - let me try it... hey, the crescent wrench doesn't fit between the pedal and the crank arm! You bastard! And the lever arm isn't long enough to overcome the torque limit on the pedals! Dammmmit!

We call it the sunshine premium. But our employers tell us not to worry, we'll get a sunshine bonus some day.

We don't have any seasons in San Diego, except for the one where it is 75 deg F and sunny. We actually mark the changing year by whether the sun is up when you leave work each day, or whether the number of days since the last rainfall is in triple digits. But we know what real seasons are; spring wildflowers (in Anza-Borrego), fall leaves (in Julian) and winter snow (in Big Bear) are all within a 90-minute drive from the beach.

+1 Balboa Park, including within walking distance of each other the Air and Space Museum, the Fleet Science Center and the Zoo.

+1 Balboa Park, including within walking distance of each other the San Diego Air and Space Museum the Fleet Science Center (with an IMAX theatre) and the World Famous San Diego Zoo which always blows people away, even if their expectations are already set pretty high.

That's right.

OK, you got me. I stepped in the irony puddle. I'll stop taking comments like that personally, and consider it a compliment instead. But remember - it's only paranoia if they are not actually out to get you.

Dude, blame Al Gore. I'm a flaming liberal, and I'm serious. He was a sitting VP with a very popular boss. While in the senate he developed a reputation for being the leading expert on not just climate change, but arms control, nuclear weapons, and communications technology (and no, he never really said that he invented the internet in so many words). OK, to be more precise, blame Al Gore's campaign manager. To have a record like that and lose to a first-term governor with a really crappy record takes some serious lack of skill. Al Gore should have won by 20 points. Don't blame Nader.

Geez, you can find something bad about America for any given question, can't you?

I play darts.

... to the second post!

If his bus system is like the one we have in San Diego, there is a bike rack on the front of the bus. That's how you bike one way.
