  • If you signal in turn lanes or while switching lanes when no one is around you’ll build healthy habits of using your signal in all other appropriate times.

    Signal every time you plan to deviate from your current lane of travel.

    Also FFS, signal before you start to merge so that people know what the fuck you’re doing. Too many times I’ve ridden with people that got upset when no one is “letting them in” and they haven’t even bothered to tell people they want in.




  • The hatred of property tax really pisses me off.

    I have a mortgage on the house in which I reside. I have to pay property tax on the house in which I reside. My annual property taxes are less than half the minimum monthly payment for my mortgage. If I can afford my monthly payment I can afford my taxes. If I can’t afford my monthly payment the taxes aren’t the problem.

    And what do I actually get for that less than half a monthly mortgage payment in annual taxes?

    • 2 large parks with miles of walking paths, a playground, a basketball and a soccer court, all maintained and within 2 blocks
    • maintained roads to my house that are cleaned regularly
    • decent schools nearby

    Yes, I recognize I got lucky and am privileged enough to have, not just stable housing, but that which I “own,” but that just makes my distaste of the hatred of property taxes all the greater.
