Having a favourite place close down sucks, but for me what’s often worse is watching a place you love slowly change and get worse, like you mentioned fearing would happen to 100 Mott Street.

It’s because she’s such a drama kid. Individually, drama kids are usually great- smart, motivated, accepting. As a group, they’re thirsty, loud, and pretentious. 

I think the subset of people who are aware of Lance Armstrong’s doping scandal is far larger than just cycling fans.

That really is the most important thing; stand up against racism when you see it. Speak out. Shame racists (both the hateful and the ignorant and both).

I haven’t done a comprehensive study or anything, but in a quarter-century of driving, my experience is that commercial vehicle operators (not tractor-trailer drivers, mind you), on average, are by far the biggest jackasses on the road. I honestly don’t see it as even being a competition. Compared to them, all of the
