A long ago clubmate of mine would disagree. She was launched headfirst through the passenger side window of a car that abruptly turned left in front of her. Her helmet was demolished, but her only injury was a dislocated shoulder. She brought the remains of the helmet to the next club meeting to show us.

I just bought a new one. Guess I better check to see if it passed. Edit: it gets 5 stars. Specialized Align ll.

Does anyone else remember those helmets from the late 80s/ early 90s where they left off the plastic skin and just used the foam with a lycra covering? I still remember seeing Curt Harnett's shatter all over Glenmore velodrome when he crashed in a sprint race. He sat on the track apron for a moment, brushed the remaining chunks of foam out of his hair, then went looking for another helmet so he could continue in the competition.

 

They look just like real hornet nests

Is it wrong to hope that he someday finds himself destitute and homeless?

Two incomes per household has actually been normal for most people in most countries throughout history. The postwar nuclear family where only dad has paid work is a brief 40 year blip in western countries.

Holy crap. The fascism is happening even faster than I imagined.

What is it with "Christians" and beating children?

I have no idea what codes come up. I am not a mechanic and don't have the equipment to check.

It's been doing this for years. The nearest Dodge dealership can't find anything wrong with it.

 

Bought used in 2019. Not a Honda or a Toyota, a Dodge Grand Caravan. Given how many examples of the previous Caravan body type I still see on the roads (at least 17 years old), I think I will have it for at least 4 more years. It runs well and I keep it maintained.

It's only annoying quirk is that the "check engine" light comes on for a few days whenever we have a lot of rain and high humidity.

"Donnie is a full of shit narcissist blowhard and he fails at everything he touches."

Tell that to all those people taken off the streets by masked men and whisked off to El Salvador or "Alligator Alcatraz".>

Imagine being dumb enough to think that those convoy loons are representative of Canadians as a whole, instead of being the lunatic fringe embarrassment that they are.

I forgot about Sheer. Another career politician who has never had a real job. Okay, his dad did get him a job in his company's mail room. I guess that's more real world experience than PP has had.

Call me crazy, but I suspect that the former head of two national banks just might know more about managing an economy than some guy who went into politics straight after college.

 

It will be based on summer road construction in Saskatoon. Player tosses the dice, moves to a space on the board that says "Construction ahead, choose a lane". Player picks the right lane, then draws a card from a deck. Wrong answer! You need to filter to the left lane! Go back 4 spaces and wait for a chance to merge!

Another roll of the dice gets you lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood as you try to follow the detour signs.

Fun for the whole family! Except those old enough to drive. Probably.
