| Well at least the ones over here can bleat a sigh of relief for a short while... At least the ones somewhat south of Stoddard. “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” - Alexis de Tocqueville Eric the Red  |

| F@#*! leap year!  Credit card dispute DENIED! The second lock was installed on the 91st day. Leap year screwed me over. It's still crappy customer service if you ask me. $500 for a frigging lock, all because my landlord actually meant "call me" when he said "don't call" if I lost my key. I need a boatload of free donuts to make me feel better   |

| How on earth does a lock cost $500??? Even my electronic keypad deadbolt lock (love that thing) only cost $99. |

| When it costs $320 to install the first "top-of-the-line" deadbolt on a Sunday night/Monday morning, and $150 to replace it after it breaks. Stay away from USA Locksmith! AWAY!!! |

| I know there are several cyclists here, so I thought maybe you'd be interested in this. We must be some type of paradox, enjoying both riding a bike AND driving on backroads. No one rides them, yet bicyclesdictate our public policy - The Connecticut Post Online |

| Interesting rant... The only time I have a problem is when cyclist forget the concept of "single-file." Even the avid cyclists (one is even a pro mountain biker) in my family scream about that - Say it gives all cyclists a bad name. Mostly I think some of the garb does that - But who am I? “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” - Alexis de Tocqueville Eric the Red |

| "In a culture that's growing increasingly infantile, it's no wonder that a childhood activity such as bicycling is embraced by a group of ever-more-shrill adults. But there are good reasons why most of us got off bikes and climbed into cars as quickly as we (legally) could." |

| Most of his complaints seemed pretty baseless, he just seems angry that there are a group of people that make time in their day to do something they enjoy. Yes, there are cyclists that don't follow the rules, but there are plenty of drivers that do the same. However, it's pretty tough for me to kill someone (other than myself) on my bike as opposed to being in my car. And if enjoying the sunshine and scenery is infantile, then I guess I'm just a big baby!  |

| Baby No no... Bet that's not the first time you've heard that  “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” - Alexis de Tocqueville Eric the Red |

How can you be in two places at once, when you're not anywhere at all ?
