"Re: the freak accident. Presumably there was other debris from the same "load" the bicycle came from, meaning that other cars may have been swerving about to avoid it. Regardless, it always makes me wince when I see people outside their…"

"Granjero said: "So... these new wages for servers means we don't need to tip anymore?" Yes, that's exactly what it means. (Shakes head.) Really, if you want to be that guy, by all means, make your point by screwing over your…"

"Mail-ins are definitely cheaper. And I wonder if turnout doesn't bump up compared to using polling stations, where the concern (and reality) is that it's easy for minority interests to dominate the debate and turnout in small, odd…"

"The parade was cool, but shop and stroll was shot for us. Just didn't have the usual casual Christmas-y feel. Instead it was this hyped, adrenaline-pumped event, which by itself would be great, but I've always enjoyed leisurely taking in…"

"Definitely doable. The only thing to keep in mind is that the trail north of the tram is narrow in several spots and could get dicey depending how crowded it is. Another thing to note is that the trail technically doesn't go to the base of La…"

"Totally agree that Barelas and Old Town are cute. Great, walkable neighborhoods with easy access to amenities in the core of the city. If your main question is in regard to safety, then, yes, both areas are safe. Now, if you're the type of…"

"Nob Hill, the neighborhood in question, is very safe. Just follow commonsense precautions, as with most places. But seriously, don't let this discussion give you the wrong impression."

"Huh. Well, this, his latest troll post, seems to indicate what I'd begun to suspect: it's a spam bot. I mean, how else to explain it. The bot saw a title that had something to do with government and randomly replied with an unrelated…"

"Ask at any of the specialty shops: Heart and Sole, Gil's, even Sports Systems. Seems like I always am overhearing folks talk about various clubs at those places. I know they're out there. Periodically, I even run into Olympic athletes from…"

"I really dig this line: "New Life’s design proposes to keep six motel units for use by Zuni traders who visit the Duke City to sell jewelry and ceramics." If it's not just pandering to get the contract, but actually sincere, I…"

"I don't know if it's true that "liberals generally do not like different opinions," but they certainly can't be worse than your tone deafness in this thread and others. Of course, I can speak for myself, and I can…"

"Hmmm, the ironic thing is that I probably pay a far greater share for public services used directly and indirectly by you. If you don't like your tax situation, really, you have options. Stop being a consumer of propaganda and produce solutions…"

"And was your above diatribe about consumers/ producers supposed to be original? Heard the same rant on Hannity last year. I assume that in this land of opportunity--you being a producer and all--you've made it big and can afford to live…"

"The problem is that the state offers tax breaks to many industries, and we don't have substantial data on any of them in regard to their true financial impact. Gas and oil industries alone get upwards of $130 million in tax breaks, while the…"

"This drives me crazy. It's a conversation I have at least once a month with my parents, because they're concerned that my two year-old is still facing backwards in a carseat made to do just that up to thirty pounds. They try to make…"

"Just to add one more perspective. One of the sad results of this, "Leave me alone!," attitude is that it's really hard to get to know your neighbors nowadays. When I moved into our current home, not a single person ever took the time…"
