I had a bike shop adjust a seat while I was riding a couple years
ago. I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself, of course, but it was
a rental bike; there was a bike shop right there, with a repair stand
outside, and a mechanic lounging in a lawn chair; and it gave me an
excuse to refill my water bottle and buy a food like substance.

We're also assuming that Kerry had a screw-driver. I'm not seeing a seat-pack on his bike. I do note that he is fussing with a cyclo-computer -- or the hotline to Russia. Who knows. I wonder if he gets campaign contributions from Garmin. That has to be a nice plug for them and Ben Serotta.

Per Sir Ridesalot:
To think these are tthe movers and shakers of the U.S.A.

Seems to me like a lot of really smart, highly-placed people have to
choose their battles. They cannot know everything about everything, so
they specialize in what they are good at and leave the other stuff to
other people.

My college roommate - who probably had more IQ points than me and my
whole family put together - got one of those alarm-clock/radios for high
school graduation... one of the ones with a half-dozen controls on it.

First thing he did was take it to the local appliance repair shop and
pay a guy mount a toggle switch on it: "Off" and "On".... Guy came to
my school from Brandeis... went on to law school... and I suspect that
a lot of people would recognize his name.... but the complexity of a
1950's-era clock/radio was just something that he chose not to expend
brainpower on... He *could* have... but he chose not to. He had more
important things on his agenda.

ASIDE from Andrew Muzi and Beattie, I'm as widely known.

Frankly, people are a PITA.

People are either neurotic or midly psychotic.

Establishing where they are...generally unknown until they come into my area..they continuously impart either idea of reality and who they are on me.

here we see a group of mildly capable simple machine wrench turners taking shots at the Secretary of State - who runs a mean boat - caws he's mingling with Schumann the Swiss.

maybe Cresswell's roommate likes toggle switches ?

OTOH, could you go in to a Swiss shop and describe your problem to the
mechanic in French? My French would get me to the bathroom or a cup of
espresso, but that's about it.

"Monsieur, mon derailleur est all f***** up! Fixez-vous?"



In Quebec that would translate to:

Monsieur, mon derailleur est toute ****é. So you'd be close.

Thus verifying that Québécois and French are two different languages.

Probably true but it's closer than the Cajun French from South LA.
