And I didn't even know Facebook alerts were possible. (Imagine someone explaining a traffic crash by saying "But there was a new cat video!!!") Given that "Oh! I was texting" seems to have become a common reason for hitting something/someone one might assume that watching a video might also qualify. cheers, John B. Texting while driving gets your license yanked here. So I doubt you’ll hear anyone use that as an excuse. -- duane |

Texting while driving gets your license yanked here. So I doubt you’ll hear anyone use that as an excuse. Nor here, for that matter, as rush hour traffic is literally bumper to bumper. The other day we were leaving Bangkok heading N.E. and there was two kilometers of cars, three lanes wide bumper to bumper heading into the city. cheers, John B. |

As far as I've been able to tell, index shifting has exactly one advantage over friction shifting.

She must have a pretty good sense of balance to use a two wheel chair :-) cheers, John B. |

Much higher quality than what I bought at an official bike shop 35 years ago. I'd be fine buying a department store bike today and riding it anywhere and everywhere. After I adjusted, fixed everything mechanical on the bike. The bikes sold by WalMart or Target today are no different than the bikes sold by official bike shops today. Except cheaper price. |
