Restaurants: Stop saying "We stop taking new customers at ..."
I've noticed that some restaurants have started answering the question "What time do you close?" with something akin to "We stop taking new customers at .." or "We stop serving at ...". This verbage must stop. It's a waste of everyone's time. All that needs to be said is "We close at ...". I already assume that any customers remaining in the restaurant after this time will be allowed to finish their meals and escape -- that doesn't need to be implied by some smug, and way-too-long, answer to an otherwise simple question.

Ranch hand for a week.
I haven't taken an actual vacation from my job for at least a year, aside from a day off here or there. In mid-September I'll be taking off a week to go "Ranch Hand" at a ranch owned by a Cowboy Poet I met through Laugh Track this year. The plan is to learn to build ranch fence, and spent about a week doing that, interrupted occassionally by help with cattle and horses, doing what I'm not exactly certain.

I think I'm mid-life crisising. (That's a real phrase, right?) Something is calling me. I wish I knew what it is...

My experience repeatedly confirms that girls on bikes are just prettier than girls in cars.

Specialized Airlock tubes are PFFFFFFT.
I have never had a supposedly "self sealing" tube leave me stranded more than since I started buying Specialized Airlock tubes. I hate them. They are the poo.
