But a newsgroup is such a convenient place to be crabby without
consequences. Especially for people like me who are so darned nice in
real life.

I'm sure Jim is a teddy bear both on and off the groups. :-)

I certainly am ;-)

Though you'd not know it from last week's Ahwatukee Foothills News.

Five out of six letters-to-the-editor took issue with my suggesting
that the pansies-in-spandex, riding their bicycles side-by-side, down
high-speed thoroughfares, are just natural selection waiting to
happen.

I was upset because I was greeted by such a sight a few weeks ago
while rounding a blind curve on Chandler Blvd going up the hill to
24th Street. Had I been driving my pick-em-up truck instead of the
Q45 I would have simply slid over three of them.

I think it was the "pansies-in-spandex" that got their goat ;-)

Make that "goats-in-spandex" and you've got yourself a deal.

I have no idea what that means, but the visual is worth it..?
