pretty sure when this happened i had driven from nashville back to virginia to see soundgarden...
I was in Oakland driving to City Rock Climbing Gym in Berkeley when the acquittal verdict for the officers came out. We were in my Taco and all of a sudden I see people in the street charging towards us and cops getting out of squad cars in riot gear. I yelled to the nearest cop "which way?" he pointed behind me. I flipped a U turn over the concrete median just as people started pounding on the sides of my truck. I floored it out of there. I do believe I would have run over anyone in that mob if they had tried to stop me.
Hit you you guys a hair earlier, 3rd one started a bit ago,
Well someone did try to kill him...Ceramic kitchen knife for outdoor boozing?
If he's using a Cuisinart brand knife with pictures of vegetables on it, maybe he deserved it?
I used to live about 1/4 mile from my Fire Station up on the Ridgetop of the Santa Cruz Mountains, enclave of about 100 homes with another 200 scattered about surrounded by forest. In the bear fire it was evacuated for 2 weeks. Glad we sold 8 years ago. This was just downhill from us and I was part of the structure protection group of 30 engines
Meh.
About 15 minutes away.@mykel any word on that tornado? We were on our bikes when one of the storms rolled through tonight. The trees started to bend and crack....
no pesqueeb 1000 yard stare from you?
Sounds familiar.
Hey now, I distinctly remember it being you who said “It’s way too early to turn around at this point.”
Graçias, señor. I feel a man should never be judged for his choice of cutlery, particularly when he or she is fixing you up a drink. That lemon wasn’t gonna cut itself in half, not squeeze itself. Camper kitchen implements did just fine.
new custom title for JBP: "poop measurer"
Technically you are correct, but I was ripe to be talked out of such nonsense.
That's me; stalwart of good judgement!
I'm sure I have no idea what you are talking about per the advice of my lawyer.
They're cheap and have a blade guard. What's the issue with them?
Iunno. As @StiHacka what his problem is.
Once I figure out my food intake needs so I don't bonk catastrophically (I think Nick and @SkaredShtles were on one of those rides), we should do another high country ride. Or at least Lenawee and extra credit...
if it was a car it'd be a hyundai
So it still works, but it's inexpensive and there's nothing sexy about it. Sounds good to me.
and it'll probably require more work to keep it running in the long run.
You don't know anything about Hyundai's do you? They are more reliable long-term, have higher quality, and lower cost than all US manufacturers (by a lot). When we got Wifey's Pilot, we were actually looking at their new big SUV and potentially holding out for the Genesis version for a luxury model. They are fucking nice and their Genesis brand is awesome. If they carry over the Stinger from Kia (separate but related company) as a luxury performance model, it would be on my short list of cars.
i know one of my old roommates had one that was a total shitbox. i drove it once and it was a fucking deathtrap. the brakes barely worked and it smelled like weeb. he didn't do a good job taking care of it.
I can make the nicest car a piece of shit by not taking care of it. They also turned their shit around about 15yrs ago and went from a discount brand to try and compete with the Japanese manufacturers directly. Look them up in Consumer Reports, you'd be surprised.
