Just for fun...

[Jeremy McCreary]

As some of you know, I'm an AFOL (adult fan of LEGO). So when Bastille Day rolled around last Sunday, my brother sent me this:

Of course, I immediately reposted it to my AFOL club forum. And within an hour, someone had built this from scratch:

Just for fun, of course.

As an Englishmen I approve of this humour.

That's a gouda one!

I had a Tesla try, or form driver distraction, to run me over while walking in a crosswalk. It automatically slammed on the brakes, shocking the driver. When I told a friend, he said that if you toss a mini kid's soccer road cone on the hood of one is will lock up and alarms will flash. It will then call for help and cannot be restated until the technician resets it.

Not sure what a mini kid's soccer road cone is, no idea really. Sounds like the kind of thing one would be unlikely to have handy if someone in a Tesla tried to run over them.

Kid dribble soccer balls around small orange cones. During SF Critical Mass rides people would have stacks of them.

Here in Pennsylvania we have stacks of orange traffic cones by the sides of many roads... but our highways only have two seasons... closed for snow or closed for construction...

always leave an hour or two early for that reason, the highway traffic tech is ever changing good for the vendors not so much for the contractors,now the traffic control people have to wear those hot high visibility monkey suits.

Ever notice how of every 5 roadworkers, only 2 are allowed to work at any given moment? The others are required to be drinking coffee and standing around waiting for the 2nd Coming.

What has four wheels, is bright yellow, and sleeps two?
A state highway truck ...

I hear someone invented a shovel that stands up by itself so the workers won't have to lean on them to hold them up anymore.

The sign used to say, Men Working, now they have all become flaggers, with Flaggers Ahead! When will me make Spanish and French neuter, that is gender neutral, to help boost the moral of those workers in the sun?
I took a Tannis Armor sticker today and cut off the leading letter, sticking it under my buddies work lift. The reason those tire liners are pink and not tan is because, you can't get a Tannis where the sun don't shine.

Had a similar situation here last year, with a "WATCH FOR CYCLISTS" sign blocking the entire bike lane on a very busy 6-lane suburban artery where swerving into the car lane is unsafe at best and often impossible.

Gave Carlsbad's traffic engineering office a heads-up. To their credit, they immediately understood the problem and moved the sign to the center divider 2 days later.

" Immediately " means two days later ? Of course.

I picked up on that too, but just shrugged when I remembered we're talking about a highway department.

Exactly. Two days is "instantaneous" in that world.

Pleasantly surprised that I only had to explain the situation once. Without hesitation, the person on the phone said she'd get a crew out there ASAP. And that's what she did.

Here during road repairs we had a similar thing. Share The Road signs were placed in bike lanes so bikes would have to ride in the busted road with pipes going in, grit and hot tar, along with the cars, jackhammers, backhoes and trucks. That is why they usually only do that in a bike lane! We sold 50 new eBikes in my downtown Theater District store for July with tons of service. The tide is changing.

The Levo SL carbon is so nice. It was the second bike of five that I built today along with service and sales. That white coffee color, bone, is so nice. Getting the dropper right takes a trick of turning the HB backwards to snip the housing length just right. Then about 14 inches comes off on a medium. Unboxing is almost half the battle. The cardboard from five bikes will fill a bin. That is better than the forever plastic foam packs. New bikes always have problems. Little O-rings must be removed, or the shifting needs a limit set, and the rotor is wavy, or things are not torqued right.
