I accidentally dropped a wtf? on someone at work today, and also sent a confidential message about someone to them, and the host for my new site seems to have abandoned me.

I've had better days.

But you've had worse right?

I haven't that's pretty terrible. The good thing about my line of work is no confidentiality behind it. You mess up, you and everyone around you is going to know about it. It's not always the greatest way to handle things, but when your right there and can't leave the line, people got to know.

It was in very good condition for such an old model of quad tourist bike.

Otherwise, yes, I would not recommend them unless you ride on flat terrain. I'll stick with my recumbent trikes!

Maybe it was. It seems like everyone's experience, well both of yours, makes me the odd man out. Maybe my brother was justified in calling the guy names. Horrible mean names.

Is it free to drink if you peddle? Otherwise that's a waste of my time. Plus a bar outside? I need darkness to cover my shame.
