I just shifted my weight in my desk chair. Dog 1 twitches. Dog 2 notices twitch and looks up. Dog 1 notices Dog 2 looking up and jumps up. Dog 2 notices Dog 1 jumping up and also jumps up. Dog 1 notices Dog 2 also jump up and barks. Dog 2 notices Dog 1 bark and leaps off the sofa. Dog 1 notices Dog 2 leap off the sofa and starts sprinting to the door. Dog 2 notices Dog 1 sprint to the door and also sprints to the 2. Both dogs now jumping at the door barking their fool heads off.

anyone else have that one person you are most afraid of disappointing in the whole world, even though you only kind of know them, but you still know they would think your fear of disappointing them is utterly ridiculous?

it can't be just me.

@DrTCombs I don’t want to tell you how to feel, but at least don’t discount the people you don’t know who think you are awesome. It can’t just be me.

But what if you meet a friend for coffee and they randomly give you a giant toolbox?

Happy to have solved the problem of the school bus driver honking at us every morning.

It's been a week, and not a single honk.

Bikevisionary,

@DrTCombs did any others honk? (to indicate their love of bikes)

@DrTCombs@transportation.social avatar

@Bikevisionary no honks. no love. but lots of waves from fellow people on bikes, and that's really who matters. ;)

Gotta love the kind of driver who backs his porsche out right in front of a family on bikes and then parks it in the bike lane along with their other car, already parked in the bike lane, in the school zone during school drop-off.

at least it's not these a$$hats who drive their cars through actual school grounds so they can get to their precious game on time

you those videos where people put a cucumber in a room with a cat and the cat loses its mind?

that, but the cucumber is a construction vehicle in the distance and the cat is literally everyone in a car.

My dirty fingers give me hope.

A friend's kid needed emergency roadside bike repair this morning on their ride to school, and I happily obliged.

I'm glad my friend's kid has the freedeom to independently, and am glad to be a part of a community that is working to make this possible for more kids.

@DrTCombs one thing I didn't expect about Kidical Mass: we wind up doing A LOT of kids' bike repairs at the start of the ride. I think your dirty fingers are fantastic and that a biking community that supports each other with maintenance is a healthier one!

TBH if he had needed anything more complicated than putting his chain back on, I would have just traded bikes with him.

It's been a long time since I've been competent at anything more than the basics!

This story has something in it for everyone.

The town of lies just north of Greensboro, North Carolina, and has seen a transition from rural farming village to bedroom community to reluctant suburb over the past two decades.
