I saw a neighbor loading a very small child on the back of their bike this morning and now I want to befriend that neighbor on the basis of "I saw them on a bike once."
Isn't this pretty much how #BikeHFX got started?
And nobody has ever wanted to befriend someone because "I saw them drive a car once."

I’m a fan of The Kinks. I recently heard they released some recordings from the Royal Albert Hall in the ‘90’s just before they broke up, so I decided to google “rare kinks videos”. This was a mistake.

This week, while I'm here holding down the fort, my eldest and his family are enjoying the fresh mountain air in Munnar.
For now, I'm living vicariously through them, but I told them next time they are taking me with them.

Oh FFS, “He has provided no evidence nor argument to show he has been diligent in pursuing his rights as it pertains to his immigration status,”
He's been in prison for 43 years for a crime he didn't commit. How was he going to pop into the immigration office to deal with paperwork?

Sarcasm tags aside, if it’s a choice between a couple of individuals ‘getting away’ with something OR people with legitimate needs going without, I choose to err on the side of community, society, and care every time. Easy choice.

A new fraud scam (to me at least). A Docusign request. I actually get Docusign requests for a couple of things so I had to look twice.

It's a beautiful day to clean out your dryer vent.
It will make your dryer more efficient, saving you money, and could also prevent your house from catching on fire.
