“Demographically, tea party Republicans are more likely to be male, older and college-educated; non-tea party Republicans are younger, less-educated, women and less likely to say they are born-again Christians or evangelicals.” -CNN
Not a great rap for higher education.
BORFO STORY TIME:
I forgot to tell you guys that a few weeks back one of my breakers blew because I had too many appliances on the same circuit. It was pretty late at night. I went to go try to fix it but the switches were 50 years old and wouldn’t flip anymore. I removed a metal covering to see if maybe any wires were loose behind the panel. It looked fine. At least when they renovated the house before I bought it they put in new wires. So here we go. I put back on the cover (Borfo style) and I try to shove it up the into the box at an angle to fit in… It gets stuck. I guess I have it upside down and I make contact with both of lugs that come directly from the Main service line and splits directly to the box. Sparks fly like mad. Smoke is pouring from inside the box. It sounds and looks like a Dr. Megavolt show. My heart is racing. I hear the neighbor scream. Street Lights are pulsating. I think, I don’t want the house to burn down. So I quickly grab an old 2x4 behind the fence and whack at the cover violently. Apparently The cover had welded itself to the lugs and it took A LOT of brute force to knock it free. The next morning my friend Juvi comes over to look at it, shakes his head, and tells me I could have , died. He takes me to a obscure pro electronics store where I could replace the old breakers with sort of new ones. And now, 300 bucks later, everything works just fine. Thee Ennd

Just Smile and Wave.
LACM worked out well. I think all my participation in it was not really significant as things would have worked out the same anyhow. The ride was enjoyable and it got a lot of positive attention.

I don’t know if it really changes things at all… At least people are happy about it for now.

Lets Not Get Crazy
Here’s another fine mes I’m getting myself into…
“The LAPD will be riding with Critical Mass on the 25th of June. Please see this flyer for more info -
At the ride start of the Critical Mass on June 25th, there will be a faction of people, including myself, who will be encouraging something we are currently calling, “Project Civil Obedience”, in which all cyclists will demonstrate what it means for 1000+ riders to obey all road rules. That includes stopping at every red light. We will also be encouraging mass riders to cooperate in choosing a destination to ride to so that they can reunite if they get separated by red lights from the main group. The plan will be to get to the destination within 45 minutes (a reasonable riding time frame). If everyone participates in this idea by consensus, the result will be that all participants will be free to travel in any direction they need to reach the destination. Some groups may get broken up by red lights. However, we will all be demonstrating that WE ARE TRAFFIC by following all road rules to the LAPD and the rest of the public. There may be some old school traditionalist Critical Mass veterans that may be opposed to this idea. However, CM was designed to be improved cooperatively. There are no leaders here, just a mass of riders who are working together to improve the image and effect that CM can have in our city. Please pass this cooperative idea along, join in encouraging others at the ride, or contribute to the discussion here and on other forums. See you at Los Angeles Critical Mass!”
I’m hoping once I’m a dad I’ll finally come to my senses.
