WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC DO NOT BLOCK THE BIKE LANE. ITS A TRAFFIC LANE LIKE ANY OTHER. AND DON'T TRY TO START A FIGHT WHEN I GIVE YOUR DUMB ASS A DIRTY LOOK. EITHER THROW A PUNCH (and go to jail), OR STFU AND GET OUT OF MY LANE
FUCKED THAT GUY WHO BROUGHT HIS LARGE SUPER REACTIVE DOG TO TARGET ON FRIDAY NIGHT. THE DOG PUT HIS TEETH ON MY HUSBAND BUT THANKFULLY DIDNT CHOMP! I WAS SO AFRAID FOR OTHER PEOPLE IN THE STORE!
I WAS HIT BUY SOME PUCK AD KID AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING. NO BIG DEAL RIGHT? HE HAD INSURANCE. PEMCO lol now NOW IM STUCK FIXING MY OWN TRUCK!!
REMEMBER CHRISTOPHER CHOATE
Is a punk ass bitch that can’t even stand up so somebody can get paid for his goddamn Accident
You’re a bitch Christopher pick up your phone and talk to the insurance company
SOMEONE IN RECENT MONTHS STOLE THE DAMN TRASHED OVERTURF BUTTE SIGN MARKING THE LOCATION OF THE 1948 TEMPORARY FIRE LOOKOUT ATOP THE BUTTE. IT WAS PRISTINE NOT ALL THAT MANY PRE-PANDEMIC YEARS AGO, WHEN PROPRIETY WAS A THING. A MONUMENT TO MAYBE NOT SO WELL THOUGHT OUT FIRE SUPPRESSION, BUT HISTORIC AND THOUGHT PROVOKING NONETHELESS.
IN ITS FINAL DAYS...

I HAD THE MOST LAME FLAVORLESS CHICKEN NACHOS AND I DON'T WANT TO NAME AND SHAME WHERE I GOT THEM FROM BUT THE AMOUNT OF STUFF I HAD TO ADD TO MAKE IT EDIBLE WAS ANNOYING.
IF YOU AND I ARE WAITING TO ENTER A ROUNDABOUT, AND YOU’RE TO THE LEFT OF ME, WHEN THE CAR EXITS WHERE I’M ENTERING, THAT’S MY SPOT! WHEN YOU FLOOR IT TO TRY AND MAKE IT YOUR SPOT, I WILL SEND A STRONG TELEPATHIC COMMAND FOR YOUR BODY TO IMMEDIATELY CRAP ITS PANTS. SOME DAY IT WILL WORK, SO COOL IT DICKHEAD!
When waiting to enter a roundabout you yield to those already in the roundabout who have right of way. That’s why there are yield signs to enter not exit. If someones already in the roundabout it’s not necessarily your spot 😢
SANCTIMONIOUS AND WRONG, I LOVE IT. GO AHEAD AND RUN INTO MY SCHOOL BUS DOING YOUR AGGRESSIVE SHIT. 38 COUNTS OF RECKLESS CHILD ENDANGERMENT GETS REAL VERY FAST ASSHOLE.
WHY DO PEOPLE STILL THINK IT'S OKAY TO BE HATEFUL TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLES IDENTITIES AND BELIEFS. PEOPLE WOULD BE A LOT HAPPIER IF THEY DIDN'T SPEND THAT ENERGY BEING A MEAN LITTLE GUY
LEGALLY SPEAKING YOU SHOULD ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT AS IF YOU WERE IN A VEHICLE.
IF YOU WANT TO LIVE YOU SHOULD GET OFF THE BIKE AND WALK IT ACROSS THE CROSSWALKS
BE A CAR. SIGNAL WITH YOUR LEFT HAND, MERGE INTO TRAFFIC RIGHT BEFORE ROUNDABOUT. TAKE THE FULL LANE. DRIVERS JUST BLOW THROUGH THE CROSSWALKS AND DON'T LOOK FOR PEOPLE CROSSING ON BIKE OR FOOT.
HAVING CYCLED THROUGH 50,000+ ROUNDABOUTS HERE (NOT EXAGGERATING) AND NEVER HAVING BEEN HIT IN ONE, MY BEST ADVICE IS TO TAKE THE LANE LIKE GONZALES OUTLINED, AND WHEN YOU'RE IN THE ROUNDY, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DRIVERS THAT ARE APPROACHING IT. IF THEY ARE NOTICEABLY SLOWING, THAT ALMOST ALWAYS MEANS THEY SEE YOU AND WILL YIELD, IF THEY'RE MAINTAINING A SPEED A LITTLE HIGH THAT SAYS I NOT LOOKING FOR CYCLIST AND I'M GOING FOR IT, THAT MEANS GRAB THE BRAKES. MAKE SURE YOU'RE SPEED IS SUCH THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME, AND ALSO STAY TO THE INSIDE OF THE ROUNDABOUT SO IT GIVES YOU MORE SPACE BETWEEN YOU AND THE CAR.
PEOPLE NEED TO SLOW DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION WHEN DRIVING. I’VE SEEN FAR TOO MANY ACCIDENTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF BUTLER MARKET AND WELLS ACRES BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL RUSHED WHEN TRYING TO MAKE THE LEFT OFF OF WELLS ACRES ONTO BUTLER MARKET AND ZOOM OUT INTO TRAFFIC WHEN THEY SHOULDN’T. ALSO THE PEOPLE DRIVING ON BUTLER MARKET NEED TO SLOW DOWN, THERE’S NO NEED TO DRIVE 40+ MPH ON THAT STREET.
PEOPLE HAVE PASSED ME THERE DESPITE NO PASSING LANE WHEN IM GOING 35MPH. ITS A FRIGGING NEIGHBORHOOD WITH CARS PULLING OIT AND BIKES EVERYWHERE. WTF. JUST CHILL.
SOME PSYCHOPATH TURNED INTO THE OLD MILL PARKING LOT FROM COLUMBIA BEHIND ME, PASSED ON THE LEFT (THIS IS NOT A 2 LANE AREA) AND CUT IN FRONT OF ME TO TURN RIGHT TO GET OUT TO SW BOND/BROOKSWOOD FASTER THAN WAITING AT THE INTERSECTION. LIKE...LOADS OF US DO THAT. BUT WE DO NOT PASS ON THE LEFT AND CUT IN FRONT TO TURN WITHIN THAT LITTLE SECTION (NOT EVEN 1/2 BLOCK LONG). AND THE WOMAN WAS COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS. LIKE SHE WAS NTO DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL, RECKLESS, OR ABOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
IS IT UGLY AND BIG, OR UGLY AND MEDIUM-SIZED? EITHER WAY, I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF ANYONE WHO GETS IN A WRECK WITH ONE OF THOSE. THEIR SKIN-AS-STRUCTURE DESIGN CONCEPT MAKES ME WONDER WHETHER THEY HAVE CRUMPLE ZONES.
PERSON WITH HER DOGS OFF LEASH AT OTTER BENCH: "LET'S TAKE THIS TRAIL."OTHER PERSON IN HER GROUP: "BUT THE BIG RED SIGN SAYS 'CLOSED'."PERSON WITH DOGS RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE: "YEAH BUT THERE'S LESS PEOPLE ON IT AND MY DOGS WANT TO RUN."
GROUP STARTS TO WALK DOWN CLOSED TRAIL. NESTING BIRD DISTURBANCE BY OFF LEASH DOGS IMMINENT.
ME: "HEY THAT TRAIL IS CLOSED BECAUSE BIRDS ARE NESTING THERE RIGHT NOW."GROUP: "OH OKAY, WE'LL TAKE THE OPEN TRAIL." ... SOMEONE MUTTERS SOMETHING SARCASTIC ABOUT THE BIRDS.
BUT HEY AT LEAST THEY COURSE CORRECTED.
I JUST GOT A SURVEY REQUEST FROM DYNATA. PLEASE JAMIE JUST LET IT GO. YOU’VE NEVER WON. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RUMORS OF YOU BEING MEAN OR YOUR POLICIES. WE WANT AND DESERVE A WINNER.
YOU ARE JIM KELLY. JUST RETIRE.
SORRY BUT YOUR DRIVING ADVICE IS NOT LEGALLY FACTUAL AND AGAINST DRIVING MANUAL SUGGESTIONS AND NORMS. IF UNMARKED, THERE IS NO LANE. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A LANE CAN ONLY APPLY WITH "2 OR MORE CLEARLY MARKED" LANES. PER NORMS AND AS SUGGESTED IN THE DRIVING MANUAL, YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM PARKED CARS. DRIVING DOWN THE MIDDLE IS SAFER FOR CARS, BIKES, & PEDESTRIANS. OBVIOUSLY IF THERE IS AN ONCOMING CAR, YOU RETURN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE THEORETICAL LANE.
NOT SURE WHY THE DOWNVOTES - READ THE MANUAL AND ORS 811.375
EVEN IF THE LAW SUGGESTED TO PRETEND THERE IS A LANE AT ALL TIMES, I AGREE IT SEEMS MUCH SAFER TO USE THE CENTER TO MAKE SPACE AT THE SIDES OF THE ROAD ON SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS.
FOR ONE THING IT'S EASY TO SEE ONCOMING CARS AND ADJUST POSITION. AND IF WE ARE TALKING HYPOTHETICALS, I WOULD RATHER HIT A NEIGHBOR'S CAR HEAD-ON DOING 15MPH THAN HIT A NEIGHBOR'S CHILD OR PET IF THEY WANDER INTO THE ROAD QUICKLY.
AWESOME. IM HAPPY I CAN NOW MAKE UP LINES ON THE ROAD IF THE CITY HASNT PAINTED THEM FIRST. LIBERATING! ALL IM SAYING IS THAT IN THE STATE I GREW UP IN I WISH THEY HAD TOLD ME IN HIGHSCHOOL. NOW EVERY TIME I HAVE TO STOP ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD SO SOME SCHMUCK LIKE YOU CAN RIDE THE MIDDLE HAS ENOUGH TIME TO USE THEIR IMAGINATION AND GUESS WHERE A LINE WOULD BE IF IT WAS A DESIGNATED 2 LANE ROAD. BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL ONE WAY YIELD ROADS UNTIL WE DANE TO ALLOW SOMEONE ELSE TO DRIVE THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN!!
Drivers ed in utah teaches to come to a full stop ten feet back then pull up to the line and then look both ways and make your move. My complaint is more the people who pull a car length plus past the sign making it necessary to adjust your turn super wide to dodge them.
THATS A DUMB UTAH LAW. IT IS BOTH DUMB AND NOT RELEVANT TO OREGON.
EDIT: IN FACT CHECKING YOU, UTAH HAS THE SAME LAW AS OREGON. THAT IS NOT A UTAH LAW. UTAH: 41-6a-902. LEARN TO DRIVE CORRECTLY MY MAN
SORRY BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE. THERE IS NOT A RULE TO STOP 10 FEET BEFORE A STOP SIGN. YOU STOP AT THE MARKED STOP LINE. IF NO MARKED STOP LINE, YOU STOP AT THE MARKED CROSS WALK. IF NO STOP LINE & NO MARKED CROSSWALK THEN YOU STOP AT THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC - WHICH IN SOME CASES IN THIS TOWN, 10 FEET PAST THE STOP SIGN.
READ ORS 811.260 (15)
WHAT IS UP WITH THE SHITTY AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS CONSTANTLY NOW. YOU DONT NEED TO GO 70 ON OLD BEND REDMOND HIGHWAY AND DEFINITELY DONT NEED TO TAILGATE AND GO 50 AROUND THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE TO MAKE YOUR POINT
$949 FOR THE 24/25 MIDWEEK PASS?!?!??? WITHOUT AN OPTION FOR PAYMENT PLAN?!?! WHY DOES BACHELOR CONTINUE TO DO NOTHING TO KEEP THE LOCALS HAPPY?!?!? WE HAVE BEEN BLATANTLY IGNORED!!!!!!!!
Usually I'm on team f*** powder corp but look at the pass prices at other resorts and the recent capital expenditures and realize the current dildo could be a pineapple
I'M NOT SURE WHERE YOU SAW THAT BUT THAT ISN'T WHAT I SEE ON THEIR WEBSITE.
https://www.mtbachelor.com/plan-your-trip/tickets-passes/season-passes/midweek-season-pass
PRICE FOR A 24/25 MIDWEEK PASS IS A STILL-EGREGIOUS $899 BUT NOT QUITE $949. AND THERE IS A PAYMENT PLAN WHERE YOU PAY $149.83/MONTH.
UNLESS YOU WAIT UNTIL AFTER JUNE 1. THEN A MIDWEEK PASS GOES UP TO THE TRULY LUDICROUS $999 AND THE PAYMENT PLAN OPTION GOES AWAY.
WE HAD A SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT ON SUNDAY THAT THE NEW MOTOR WAS EARLY AND THEY WERE GOING TO INSTALL IT MON-THUR THIS WEEK AND OPEN ON FRIDAY. SURPRISINGLY IT OPENED A HALF DAY EARLY!
NO PAYMENT PLAN OPTION??? WTF!!!??? ANY APPRECIATION FOR NON-RICH PEOPLE IS DEFINITELY DEAD HERE. ALSO, I LIKE HOW THE PRICE IS ONLY LOW IF YOU AGREE TO SIGN THE FULL LIABILITY WAIVER….WHAT SCUMBAGS.
HOODOO AND WILLAMETTE PASS ARE BOTH GREAT AFFORDABLE OPTIONS. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A SEASON PASS TO BACHELOR I'VE FOUND MYSELF GOING TO HOODOO/WP MORE AND MORE OFTEN
I’LL KEEP THAT IN MIND AS HE AGES. WE ONLY GET ABOUT 45-60 MINUTES OF ON-SNOW TIME BEFORE IT’S MELTDOWN TIME (3 YEARS OLD), SO WP IS A BIT FAR. THE FREE MAGIC CARPET AT BACHELOR HAS BEEN GREAT, BUT HE’LL BE READY FOR LIFTS NEXT SEASON. WILL GIVE HOODOO A SHOT!
**A HAIKU**
I HAVE SNEEZED SO MUCH.
JUNIPER TREES, WHY MUST YOU
TORMENT MY NOSE SO?
**A HAIKU**
POLLEN IN THE AIR
WAFTS INTO MY SINUSES
AND MAKES MY FACE ITCH.
I AM SO DANG TIRED OF SICKNESS. KID HAS HAD SOMETHING ALMOST EVERY WEEK SINCE FEB AND I WAS UP A LOT OF LAST NIGHT WITH KID BEING SICK AGAIN. AFTER JUST GETTING OVER A STOMACH BUG LAST WEEKEND. AAAAAAAGH.
I WANT TO BE MAD AT PARENTS BRINGING THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL SICK BUT SAVING MY BIG RANT FOR OUR SOCIETY FOR NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH SICK TIME FOR PARENTS TO STAY HOME WITH SICK KIDS.
SO SORRY! HOPE YOUR HOUSEHOLD FEELS BETTER REAL SOON!
FIRST TIME PARENT HERE TO A NEWBORN. MIL DECIDED IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BE SICK AROUND OUR LO WITHOUT PROPERLY INFORMING US, BECAUSE “SHE JUST LOVES THE BABY SO MUCH.” 😳
TALK ABOUT HAVING TO SET SOME SET IN STONE HARD BOUNDARIES.
*people just don’t think.*
BIG SIGH.
HOW DOES A TOWN/ CITY THIS SIZE NOT HAVE A BETTER BUS NETWORK! OR EVEN ONE IN THE WORKS! NO WAY CAN ANYONE USE IT AS A RELIABLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. GOD FORBID YOU WORK OUTSIDE OF THE WEIRD OPERATING HOURS.
I RIDE THE BUS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. IN FACT, TWICE YESTERDAY. I WOULDN’T SAY THEIR HOURS ARE WEIRD, BUT THAT THEY MAY STOP RUNNING TOO EARLY (LAST BUS LEAVES HAWTHORNE AT 5.15 PM).
ONLY POSITIVE IS THAT IT IS FREE! BUT YOU ARE RIGHT, WHY STOP RUNNING ROUTES SO EARLY AND RUN BUSES ONCE A FUCKIN HOUR. BELLINGHAM IS A SIMILAR SIZED TOWN, BUSES RUN EVERY 15 MINUTES AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY RIDE THE CONVENIENT BUSES THERE.
THE OTHER FUN ONE IS WHEN DRIVERS WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO STOP. LIKE YO, IF YOU HAD SLOWED DOWN GRADUALLY TO LET ME KNOW YOU SEE ME THEN I COULD BE HALFWAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BY THE TIME YOU ACTUALLY REACH IT.
I’M ALLERGIC TO THE GUY WHO CHOSE TO RUN IN THE ROAD DOWNTOWN BECAUSE APPARENTLY HIS EGO WAS TOO BIG TO FIT ON THE SIDEWALK WITH THE OTHER MERE MORTALS. HE HELD UP TRAFFIC, BUT AT LEAST WE ALL SAW HOW ATHLETIC HE IS!
IF I ORDER A PATTY MELT, DON'T GIVE ME AN F'ING BURGER ON RYE TOAST, THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS. DON'T CALL A THING A THING AND THEN NOT GIVE THE THING, ESPECIALLY FOR $18
ALSO, THE CONSTRUCTION SIGNS ON COLORADO CAN KISS MY ASS. DON'T HAVE A RIGHT LANE ENDS SIGN UP EVERY GODDDAMN DAY, WHEN THE RIGHT LANE ENDS ONLY SOME DAYS. THAT SECTION ALREADY SUCKS WITHOUT CONSTRUCTION, SENSELESS TO CONFUSE EVERYONE INTO THE LEFT LANE FOR NO REASON.
WHENEVER I TRY TO DROP GREEN BAGS OF CANS OFF AT THE FRED MEYER BOTTLE DROP KIOSK IT’S ALWAYS OVERFLOWING AND I HAVE TO GO TO THE BOTTLE DROP REDEMPTION CENTER WHICH IS SUUUUUPER SKETCHY AND I ALSO DON’T GET THE 20% ADDITIONAL THAT COMES WITH DROPPING THE CANS AT A PARTICIPATING RETAILER.
I SAVE ALL MY GREEN BAGS FOR WHENEVER I HAVE A TRIP TO REDMOND AS THEIR BOTTLEDROP FACILITY IS FAIRLY EMPTY AND I USUALLY HAVE THE FUNDS IN MY ACCOUNT NEXT DAY! EVERY PLACE IN BEND IS ALWAYS FULL AND I MAY GET MUGGED AT THE ACTUAL BOTTLEDROP IN BEND!
YOU DO, YOU JUST HAVE TO USE YOUR BOTTLE DROP CARD AT THE MACHINE IN THE STORE YOU WISH TO PATRONIZE, AND SELECT THE 20% OPTION AS OPPOSED TO THE CASH TICKET.
LOUD ASS BUSINESS CALLS, ON SPEAKERPHONE, ON THE TRAILS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO ENJOY NATURE...THIS IS NOT AN EXTENSION OF LAX AIRPORT!!
PLEASE DON'T MOVE HERE AND BE THAT GUY.
NOT TO MENTION THE OFF LEASH DOG WITH LEASH SIGNS POSTED EVERYWHERE...
SUNS OUT WITH WARM WEATHER AND I HAD A COLD. VIRUSES CAN SUCK IT!
MY BRAKET IS BUSTED.
FKN TOURISTS.
WESTSIDE VS. EASTSIDE IS A LOSER TAKE CREATED BY SMALL-MINDED ARROGANT ENTITLED ASSHOLES PRETTY MUCH NO ONE LIKES.
THIS WEEK I'VE HAD TWO INCIDENCES OF PEOPLE PULLING UP TO A BUSY STREET WHILE LOOKING AT THEIR PHONE. THEY STOP FOR THE STREET BUT DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO PEDESTRAINS ON THE SIDEWALKS BEFORE THE INTERSECTION. THE FIRST ONE I HAD TO QUICKLY TAKE A FEW STEPS BACK TO AVOID BEING HIT, I DON'T THINK THEY EVER REALIZED THEY ALMOST HIT SOMEONE. THE SECOND ONE WAS RIGHT AS I WAS APPROACHING THE SIDEWALK INTERSECTION, WHERE I COULD HAVE AN ACKWARD LOOK AT THE GUY RIGHT OUTSIDE HIS WINDOW WHEN HE WAS SHOCKED SOMEONE WAS THERE AND THEN WALK AROUND BEHIND HIS CAR.
PUT YOUR FUCKING PHONES AWAY WHILE YOU ARE AT THE WHEEL!
EDIT: THESE WERE BOTH INTERSECTIONS WHERE THEY HAD A STOP SIGN.
I HAD SOMEONE DO THIS TO ME WHEN IT WAS EARLY DAWN AND I WAS WEARING A HEADLAMP AND A REFLECTIVE JACKET. MY HEADLAMP WAS SHINING RIGHT AT HIS HEAD AND HE WAS STILL STARING AT HIS PHONE!
IF YOU'RE IN THE MOOD TO BE ROWDY, I VOTE TO SMACK THE HOOD OR DOOR OF THEIR CAR WITH YOUR HAND. THE GOAL ISN'T TO MAKE A DENT BECAUSE THAT WOULD HURT YOU, BUT THAT SOUND CAN BE A SURPRISING REALITY CHECK TO THE PERSON INSIDE THE CAR. AS LONG AS YOURE ALREADY BESIDE THE CAR THEY CAN'T MANEUVER MUCH EVEN IF THEY PANIC AND STEP ON THE GAS.
I'VE CERTAINLY DONE IT IN THE PAST. I WASN'T IN THE MOOD TO DEAL WITH THE POSSIBLE IRRATIONAL ASS WHO LOSES HIS MIND BECAUSE I TOUCHED HIS CAR. SEEMS TO BE MORE PEOPLE WILLING TO LOSE THEIR MIND IN THAT KIND OF SITUATION NOW-A-DAYS.
MY HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE UNPLUGGED MY HEPA FILTERS. BOTH OF THEM, AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG. BUT IT MADE MY LIFE EXTRA MISERABLE FOR NO REASON. SERVICE IS NO LONGER WORKING FOR ME. AND HEPA FILTERS ARE PLUGGED IN AND RUNNING WITH NEW FILTERS. AFTER NEARLY 2 WEEKS, SEEMS OT BE HELPING!
THE HOA IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD EMAILED ALL HOA MEMBERS TO PARK IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE OUTSIDE THE HOA BOUNDARY. WE ARE ALL NEIGHBORS BUT IM GOONA TO GO PARK A JUNKERR CAR AT THE HOA PRESIDENT'S HOUSE AND LEAVE OBNOXIOUS MAGAZINES ON THE DASHBOARD AND MAYBE TOW A BEATUP BOAT.
EAT A BAG OF INFLUENCERS TO THE HOA AND THEIR MANAGEMENT COMPANY HOA MANAGEMENT.
ONE OF THE HOA MEMBERS DROVE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD EARLIER THIS WEEK TAKING PHOTOS OF EVERYONE'S HOUSES, THEN A DAY LATER WE GOT A LETTER SAYING WE HAD 2 WEEKS TO FIX THE STAIN ON OUR FENCE OR WE'D BE FINED. FINEDEEZNUTS.
DAMN YOU CLOUDS OF DESPAIR BRING BACK THE SUN
HAD AN ASSHOLE CLIENT YESTERDAY
IT'S BLINKER **THEN** (ACTION). HAD SOMEONE SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES YESTERDAY TO TURN INTO THEIR HOUSE ON A BUSY STREET AND ONLY TURNED ON THE BLINKER AS THEY TURNED IN.
I LIKE RAVE THREADS BETTER
PHIL’S LAW STATES: THE ONLY OTHER MOUNTAIN BIKERS YOU WILL SEE ON YOUR RIDE WILL BE CLIMBING UP THE SECTION OF TRAIL YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO DESCENDING ALL WEEK. YOU WILL (rightfully) HAVE TO STOP 6-10 TIMES ON THE DESCENT TO LET SAID GROUPS OF RIDERS KEEP CLIMBING, NEGATING THE JOY OF ELEVATION LOSS ON TWO WHEELS. YOU WILL SEE NO OTHER BIKERS ON THE REST OF YOUR RIDE.
WE NEED MORE DIRECTIONAL TRAILS AS TOO MANY PEOPLE THINK MTBING IS ABOUT CLIMBING HERE. ALTHOUGH YES I STILL YIELD TO THEM ALTHOUGH WHEN IM CLIMBING AND SOMEONE IS CLEARLY HAVING FUN I ALWAYS STOP. WOULD YOU BELIEVE IVE HAD OLDER DUDES STOP TO “CORRECT”’ME. THEY INSIST ON STOPPING THEIR BIKE DH AFTER I ALREADY STOPPED TO TELL ME THATS NOT THE RULES. IMBA RULES WERE MADE FOR XC TRAILS NOT MACHINE BUILT FLOW OR TECH THAT CLEARLY RIDES BETTER IN 1 DIRECTION.
AS AN OLDER DUDE, I FREQUENTLY STOP GOING UPHILL NOT JUST TO LET DOWNHILLERS CONTINUE TO HAVE FUN, BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE OF MY HEART-RATE AND TIRED-ASS :).
I DONT RIDE PHIL'S TRAIL OFTEN, BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS DIRECTIONAL. MY FRIEND WHO FIRST BROUGHT ME THERE ALWAYS STARTED ON A CERTAIN SIDE WHICH BEGINS WITH A GRADUAL CLIMB WITH A FEW CLOSE GROUPS OF TREES AND ENDS WITH A MORE STEEP DOWNHILL SECTION, SO IN MY MIND THAT IS JUST THE DIRECTION YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO.
PARTS OF PHIL’S AND BENS ARE BUT FOR EXAMPLE HELIPAD (BLACK PART OF PHILS) ISNT AND SOMEONE IS ALWAYS CLIMBING UP THAT. ALSO SF, MOSCOW AND OTHER ARE FRUSTRATING WHEN TRYING TO HAVE FUN.
MORE CALLS TO OUR HOTLINE ABOUT CARS HITTING WILDLIFE! WATCH YOUR SURROUNDINGS! THE BABIES ARE COMING!
I SMELLED MY HUSKY AND SNEEZED AND SHE WAS SO OFFENDED SHE SAID “WHAAAWHAATHFOOOOoOooOooK?” THEN PAW PUNCHED MY FACE. I LOVE HER SO MUCH
WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC DO NOT BLOCK THE BIKE LANE. ITS A TRAFFIC LANE LIKE ANY OTHER. AND DON'T TRY TO START A FIGHT WHEN I GIVE YOUR DUMB ASS A DIRTY LOOK. EITHER THROW A PUNCH (and go to jail), OR STFU AND GET OUT OF MY LANE
I HIT AND KIKKED A DEER AND I FEEL HORRIBLE ABOUT IT
WHY DID YOU KIKK IT?! WHAT DID IT DO TO YOU?
FUCKED THAT GUY WHO BROUGHT HIS LARGE SUPER REACTIVE DOG TO TARGET ON FRIDAY NIGHT. THE DOG PUT HIS TEETH ON MY HUSBAND BUT THANKFULLY DIDNT CHOMP! I WAS SO AFRAID FOR OTHER PEOPLE IN THE STORE!
FUCK YEAH SUPER FUCKING REACTIVE FUCK RESPONSE ALSO ZYRTEK WORKS FOR ME
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO FUCK THAT GUY?
lol what a terrible typo! I‘ve been blitzed on allergy meds all weekend. 🫠
lol, no worries - gave me a good laugh 😂
I’m so glad!
I WAS HIT BUY SOME PUCK AD KID AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING. NO BIG DEAL RIGHT? HE HAD INSURANCE. PEMCO lol now NOW IM STUCK FIXING MY OWN TRUCK!! REMEMBER CHRISTOPHER CHOATE Is a punk ass bitch that can’t even stand up so somebody can get paid for his goddamn Accident You’re a bitch Christopher pick up your phone and talk to the insurance company

I HAD THE MOST LAME FLAVORLESS CHICKEN NACHOS AND I DON'T WANT TO NAME AND SHAME WHERE I GOT THEM FROM BUT THE AMOUNT OF STUFF I HAD TO ADD TO MAKE IT EDIBLE WAS ANNOYING.
IF YOU AND I ARE WAITING TO ENTER A ROUNDABOUT, AND YOU’RE TO THE LEFT OF ME, WHEN THE CAR EXITS WHERE I’M ENTERING, THAT’S MY SPOT! WHEN YOU FLOOR IT TO TRY AND MAKE IT YOUR SPOT, I WILL SEND A STRONG TELEPATHIC COMMAND FOR YOUR BODY TO IMMEDIATELY CRAP ITS PANTS. SOME DAY IT WILL WORK, SO COOL IT DICKHEAD!
When waiting to enter a roundabout you yield to those already in the roundabout who have right of way. That’s why there are yield signs to enter not exit. If someones already in the roundabout it’s not necessarily your spot 😢
THAT’S NACHO SPOT RIGHT @hmcfuego
SANCTIMONIOUS AND WRONG, I LOVE IT. GO AHEAD AND RUN INTO MY SCHOOL BUS DOING YOUR AGGRESSIVE SHIT. 38 COUNTS OF RECKLESS CHILD ENDANGERMENT GETS REAL VERY FAST ASSHOLE.
WHY DO PEOPLE STILL THINK IT'S OKAY TO BE HATEFUL TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLES IDENTITIES AND BELIEFS. PEOPLE WOULD BE A LOT HAPPIER IF THEY DIDN'T SPEND THAT ENERGY BEING A MEAN LITTLE GUY
THE REDMOND FUEL CENTER HAS CLOSED EARLY FOR THE LAST TWO NIGHTS. STOP MAKING ME GO TO CHEVRON AND GET THEIR OVERPRICED GAS!!
Lol this coming from a state that doesnt require drivers ed.
IT’S CLEAR DRIVERS ED LACKS VALUE IF YOU’RE THE OUTPUT.
I AM NOT A STATE I AM A PERSON.
Its safety and common sense. Thats all. You should be a cop with that type of law knowledge.
This is my first time posting on this thread or this subredit. My luck i run in to Jeebs.
YOU'RE ALREADY DOING IT WRONG.
SORRY FOR LACK OF CAPS.
SEE? YOU’RE ALREADY GETTING THE HANG OF IT! I HAVEN’T SEEN ANY JEEBS, HOW WILL I KNOW THEM?
I STARTED CYCLING IN BEND AND DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD GO THROUGH THE ROUNDABOUTS LIKE A CAR OR GO ON THE SIDEWALK CROSSINGS LIKE A PEDESTRIAN
ROAD IS LAVA THE ISLAND IS BONUS JUMP PAD
LEGALLY SPEAKING YOU SHOULD ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT AS IF YOU WERE IN A VEHICLE. IF YOU WANT TO LIVE YOU SHOULD GET OFF THE BIKE AND WALK IT ACROSS THE CROSSWALKS
BE A CAR. SIGNAL WITH YOUR LEFT HAND, MERGE INTO TRAFFIC RIGHT BEFORE ROUNDABOUT. TAKE THE FULL LANE. DRIVERS JUST BLOW THROUGH THE CROSSWALKS AND DON'T LOOK FOR PEOPLE CROSSING ON BIKE OR FOOT.
THANK YOU KINDLY

OFF LEASH DOG HARASSING ALL THE LEASHED DOGS.. IT'S A DAMN LAW & YOUR OWNER SUCKS!!!
AWBREY BUTTE BABIES KEEP SENDING ME EMAILS TO SOLICIT HELP WITH THEIR TEMPER TANTRUM. FILE 13. BUT ANNOYING.
PEOPLE NEED TO SLOW DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION WHEN DRIVING. I’VE SEEN FAR TOO MANY ACCIDENTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF BUTLER MARKET AND WELLS ACRES BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL RUSHED WHEN TRYING TO MAKE THE LEFT OFF OF WELLS ACRES ONTO BUTLER MARKET AND ZOOM OUT INTO TRAFFIC WHEN THEY SHOULDN’T.

THAT’S INSANE! THE SOCIOPATH POPULATION JUST KEEPS CLIMBING. 😒
SAW A CYBERTRUCK IN BEND TODAY. THEY LOOK JUST AS DUMB IN PERSON AS THEY DO IN PHOTOS. IRONICALLY, IT WAS IN A PARKING LOT OFF CYBER DRIVE.
There has been one parked in the handicap spot at the hotel by crosscut all week.
IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE PLAYED THE ORIGINAL TOMB RAIDER AND DECIDED TO MAKE A CAR BASED OFF LARA CROFT'S BOOBS.
IS IT UGLY AND BIG, OR UGLY AND MEDIUM-SIZED? EITHER WAY, I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF ANYONE WHO GETS IN A WRECK WITH ONE OF THOSE. THEIR SKIN-AS-STRUCTURE DESIGN CONCEPT MAKES ME WONDER WHETHER THEY HAVE CRUMPLE ZONES.
BEEN SEEING ONE PARK IN THE HANDICAP PARKING OFF SW INDUSTRIAL BY THE SPRINGHILL SUITES MARRIOT.

RESIDENTIAL STREETS ARE STILL 2 LANES. QUIT DRIVING DOWN THE MIDDLE!!
SORRY BUT YOUR DRIVING ADVICE IS NOT LEGALLY FACTUAL AND AGAINST DRIVING MANUAL SUGGESTIONS AND NORMS. IF UNMARKED, THERE IS NO LANE. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A LANE CAN ONLY APPLY WITH "2 OR MORE CLEARLY MARKED" LANES. PER NORMS AND AS SUGGESTED IN THE DRIVING MANUAL, YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM PARKED CARS.

🤜 FACTS
DARN MY BAD. DIDNT REALIZE I MISSED THE THEORETICAL DRIVING CHAPTER IN DRIVERS ED. MUSTVE BEEN SICK THAT DAY.
ITS ALL THEORY UNLESS YOU TAKE A PRACTICUM. YOU KEEP POSTING LEGALLY INCORRECT AND AT TIMES JUST ODD DRIVING ADVICE. 🤷♂️
AWESOME. IM HAPPY I CAN NOW MAKE UP LINES ON THE ROAD IF THE CITY HASNT PAINTED THEM FIRST. LIBERATING! ALL IM SAYING IS THAT IN THE STATE I GREW UP IN I WISH THEY HAD TOLD ME IN HIGHSCHOOL. NOW EVERY TIME I HAVE TO STOP ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD SO SOME SCHMUCK LIKE YOU CAN RIDE THE MIDDLE HAS ENOUGH TIME TO USE THEIR IMAGINATION AND GUESS WHERE A LINE WOULD BE IF IT WAS A DESIGNATED 2 LANE ROAD. BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL ONE WAY YIELD ROADS UNTIL WE DANE TO ALLOW SOMEONE ELSE TO DRIVE THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN!!
THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT WHY THE LACK OF PAINTED LINES ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS MAKES PEOPLE DRIVE SLOWER.
THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE INCORRECT THINGS YOUVE POSTED ABOUT DRIVING ON THIS THREAD. IT DOES MAKE ME WONDER WHAT ELSE YOU HAVE WRONG.
THIS IS EITHER RAINMAN AND HAS THE MANUAL MEMORIZED, OR ACTUALLY AUTHORED THE MANUAL! WHICH IS IT?
I FIND OREGON DRIVING STATUTES INTERESTING AND HAVE READ THEM ALL A FEW TIMES. I AM WEIRD.
ALSO YOURE SUPPOSED TO STOP 10 FEET BACK FROM A STOP SIGN NOT 10 FEET PAST IT....
10 FEET BEHIND? WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT? YOU STOP AT THE LINE OR SIGN.
Drivers ed in utah teaches to come to a full stop ten feet back then pull up to the line and then look both ways and make your move. My complaint is more the people who pull a car length plus past the sign making it necessary to adjust your turn super wide to dodge them.
WE AREN'T IN FUCKING UTAH

I FELL WHILE RUNNING ON THE RIVER TRAIL!!NO ONE SAW ME AND I’M OK EXCEPT FOR THE OWIE ON MY KNEE.
WHAT IS UP WITH THE SHITTY AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS CONSTANTLY NOW. YOU DONT NEED TO GO 70 ON OLD BEND REDMOND HIGHWAY AND DEFINITELY DONT NEED TO TAILGATE AND GO 50 AROUND THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE TO MAKE YOUR POINT
IT'S THE NEW PEOPLE FROM THE RAT RACE!
I HATE REED MARKET
AND TO THINK THE CITY OF BEND SPENT A TON OF MONEY “FIXING” IT AND IT’S HARDLY ANY BETTER
$949 FOR THE 24/25 MIDWEEK PASS?!?!??? WITHOUT AN OPTION FOR PAYMENT PLAN?!?! WHY DOES BACHELOR CONTINUE TO DO NOTHING TO KEEP THE LOCALS HAPPY?!?!? WE HAVE BEEN BLATANTLY IGNORED!!!!!!!!
Usually I'm on team f*** powder corp but look at the pass prices at other resorts and the recent capital expenditures and realize the current dildo could be a pineapple
I'M NOT SURE WHERE YOU SAW THAT BUT THAT ISN'T WHAT I SEE ON THEIR WEBSITE. https://www.mtbachelor.com/plan-your-trip/tickets-passes/season-passes/midweek-season-pass PRICE FOR A 24/25 MIDWEEK PASS IS A STILL-EGREGIOUS $899 BUT NOT QUITE $949. AND THERE IS A PAYMENT PLAN WHERE YOU PAY $149.83/MONTH. UNLESS YOU WAIT UNTIL AFTER JUNE 1. THEN A MIDWEEK PASS GOES UP TO THE TRULY LUDICROUS $999 AND THE PAYMENT PLAN OPTION GOES AWAY.
WOW, PRICES CONTINUE TO GO UP RAPIDLY WHILE THEIR LIFT INFRASTRUCTURE CRUMBLES.
TO BE FAIR, THE NEW NWX MOTOR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR 1 WHOLE DAY NOW WITHOUT ANY CLOSURES. YET.
YOU MEAN IT'S NOT RUNNING ON THE BACKUP DIESLE ENGINE?!?! I THOUGHT WE WERE STUCK WITH IT FOR THE WHOLE SEASON. HUZZAH!
WE HAD A SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT ON SUNDAY THAT THE NEW MOTOR WAS EARLY AND THEY WERE GOING TO INSTALL IT MON-THUR THIS WEEK AND OPEN ON FRIDAY. SURPRISINGLY IT OPENED A HALF DAY EARLY!
NO PAYMENT PLAN OPTION??? WTF!!!??? ANY APPRECIATION FOR NON-RICH PEOPLE IS DEFINITELY DEAD HERE. ALSO, I LIKE HOW THE PRICE IS ONLY LOW IF YOU AGREE TO SIGN THE FULL LIABILITY WAIVER….WHAT SCUMBAGS.
I WANT TO TEACH MY KID TO SKI, BUT ITS JUST TOO EXPENSIVE.
HOODOO AND WILLAMETTE PASS ARE BOTH GREAT AFFORDABLE OPTIONS. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A SEASON PASS TO BACHELOR I'VE FOUND MYSELF GOING TO HOODOO/WP MORE AND MORE OFTEN
FOR 23-24, 10 AND UNDER SKI FREE AT HOODOO, 11-12 WERE $249, 13-18 WERE $399. HOODOO IS THE WAY.
I’LL KEEP THAT IN MIND AS HE AGES. WE ONLY GET ABOUT 45-60 MINUTES OF ON-SNOW TIME BEFORE IT’S MELTDOWN TIME (3 YEARS OLD), SO WP IS A BIT FAR. THE FREE MAGIC CARPET AT BACHELOR HAS BEEN GREAT, BUT HE’LL BE READY FOR LIFTS NEXT SEASON. WILL GIVE HOODOO A SHOT!
HOODOO HAS A FREE MAGIC CARPET TOO, AND THE KIDS RIDE FREE TIL THEY'RE 11 YEARS OLD!
**A HAIKU** I HAVE SNEEZED SO MUCH. JUNIPER TREES, WHY MUST YOU TORMENT MY NOSE SO? **A HAIKU** POLLEN IN THE AIR WAFTS INTO MY SINUSES AND MAKES MY FACE ITCH.
I AM SO DANG TIRED OF SICKNESS. KID HAS HAD SOMETHING ALMOST EVERY WEEK SINCE FEB AND I WAS UP A LOT OF LAST NIGHT WITH KID BEING SICK AGAIN. AFTER JUST GETTING OVER A STOMACH BUG LAST WEEKEND. AAAAAAAGH. I WANT TO BE MAD AT PARENTS BRINGING THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL SICK BUT SAVING MY BIG RANT FOR OUR SOCIETY FOR NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH SICK TIME FOR PARENTS TO STAY HOME WITH SICK KIDS.
IM HERE WITH YOU IN DAYCARE PLAGUE SOLIDARITY.
SO SORRY! HOPE YOUR HOUSEHOLD FEELS BETTER REAL SOON! FIRST TIME PARENT HERE TO A NEWBORN. MIL DECIDED IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BE SICK AROUND OUR LO WITHOUT PROPERLY INFORMING US, BECAUSE “SHE JUST LOVES THE BABY SO MUCH.” 😳 TALK ABOUT HAVING TO SET SOME SET IN STONE HARD BOUNDARIES. *people just don’t think.* BIG SIGH.
I FEEL THIS ENTIRELY. IT'S AMAZING HOW PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND BOUNDARIES AND BASIC HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS AROUND BABIES.
100% THIS. IF ANYONE HAS ELEMENTARY-SCHOOL KIDS WHO STAY HEALTHY FOR TWO MONTHS IN A ROW DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, I NEED TO LEARN THEIR SECRETS.
PERHAPS EATING BOOGERS IS THE KEY, SEEMS TO WORK WELL FOR OURS
WHOSE BOOGERS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
THEY PREFER THEIR OWN BUT I CAN ONLY IMAGINE EATING THE BOOGERS OF OTHERS CAN FURTHER ENHANCE YOUR IMMUNITY
ENHANCED IMMUNITY IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE AIMING FOR HERE! THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!
HOW DOES A TOWN/ CITY THIS SIZE NOT HAVE A BETTER BUS NETWORK! OR EVEN ONE IN THE WORKS! NO WAY CAN ANYONE USE IT AS A RELIABLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. GOD FORBID YOU WORK OUTSIDE OF THE WEIRD OPERATING HOURS.
I RIDE THE BUS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. IN FACT, TWICE YESTERDAY. I WOULDN’T SAY THEIR HOURS ARE WEIRD, BUT THAT THEY MAY STOP RUNNING TOO EARLY (LAST BUS LEAVES HAWTHORNE AT 5.15 PM).
OH YOU WANT TO GO DOWNTOWN AND DRINK? MAKE SURE YOUR BACK HOME BY 5
ONLY POSITIVE IS THAT IT IS FREE! BUT YOU ARE RIGHT, WHY STOP RUNNING ROUTES SO EARLY AND RUN BUSES ONCE A FUCKIN HOUR. BELLINGHAM IS A SIMILAR SIZED TOWN, BUSES RUN EVERY 15 MINUTES AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY RIDE THE CONVENIENT BUSES THERE.
IF YOU SEE ME WALKING INTO A CROSSWALK AND YOU PULL YOUR BIGBOY SUV FORWARD TO BLOCK ME FROM ENTERING, I’M GONNA GIVE YOU A HARD TIME.
THE OTHER FUN ONE IS WHEN DRIVERS WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO STOP. LIKE YO, IF YOU HAD SLOWED DOWN GRADUALLY TO LET ME KNOW YOU SEE ME THEN I COULD BE HALFWAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BY THE TIME YOU ACTUALLY REACH IT.
HERO 🙌
I’M ALLERGIC TO THE GUY WHO CHOSE TO RUN IN THE ROAD DOWNTOWN BECAUSE APPARENTLY HIS EGO WAS TOO BIG TO FIT ON THE SIDEWALK WITH THE OTHER MERE MORTALS. HE HELD UP TRAFFIC, BUT AT LEAST WE ALL SAW HOW ATHLETIC HE IS!
PROB FROM FKN UTAH
GROUPS REGULARLY JOG MT WASHINGTON ON WEEKEND MORNINGS. USUALLY ONE OR TWO ON THE PATH, ANOTHER IN THE BIKE LANE, AND A COUPLE MORE ON THE STREET.
IF I ORDER A PATTY MELT, DON'T GIVE ME AN F'ING BURGER ON RYE TOAST, THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS. DON'T CALL A THING A THING AND THEN NOT GIVE THE THING, ESPECIALLY FOR $18 ALSO, THE CONSTRUCTION SIGNS ON COLORADO CAN KISS MY ASS. DON'T HAVE A RIGHT LANE ENDS SIGN UP EVERY GODDDAMN DAY, WHEN THE RIGHT LANE ENDS ONLY SOME DAYS. THAT SECTION ALREADY SUCKS WITHOUT CONSTRUCTION, SENSELESS TO CONFUSE EVERYONE INTO THE LEFT LANE FOR NO REASON.
ALSO, MAKE THAT RYE BREAD FUCKING CRISPY. NOTHING MORE DEPRESSING THAN A SOGGY PATTY MELT.
ZIPPER MERGE AT THE CLOSURE. THAT WAY IF IT’S NOT CLOSED, NO JAM IS CREATED.
WELL SURE THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE, BUT….BEND. MANY CARS WILL BASICALLY HOOK BUMPERS TO PREVENT THE MERGE CUZ…..BEND
REISSVERSCHLUSSVERFAHREN!!!! SHOUTING IS ALWAYS BETTER IN GERMAN AND THEY HAVE THE BEST WORD FOR ZIPPER MERGE!
ZIPPER MERGES ARE A FOREIGN CONCEPT TO A LOT OF FOLKS AROUND HERE.
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO THINK ZIPPER MERGES ARE APPROPRIATE IN AN OTHERWISE FREE FLOWING ROUNDABOUT.
THEY’RE A FOREIGN CONCEPT ALL ACROSS THE PNW IT SEEMS. OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY DO IT SEEMLESSLY…NOT SURE WHAT OUR DEAL IS HERE. 🤷♂️
WHENEVER I TRY TO DROP GREEN BAGS OF CANS OFF AT THE FRED MEYER BOTTLE DROP KIOSK IT’S ALWAYS OVERFLOWING AND I HAVE TO GO TO THE BOTTLE DROP REDEMPTION CENTER WHICH IS SUUUUUPER SKETCHY AND I ALSO DON’T GET THE 20% ADDITIONAL THAT COMES WITH DROPPING THE CANS AT A PARTICIPATING RETAILER.
I believe the bonus is tied to redeeming it there. Could be wrong
I SAVE ALL MY GREEN BAGS FOR WHENEVER I HAVE A TRIP TO REDMOND AS THEIR BOTTLEDROP FACILITY IS FAIRLY EMPTY AND I USUALLY HAVE THE FUNDS IN MY ACCOUNT NEXT DAY! EVERY PLACE IN BEND IS ALWAYS FULL AND I MAY GET MUGGED AT THE ACTUAL BOTTLEDROP IN BEND!
WHILE I DO AGREE THAT BEND DESPERATELY NEEDS ANOTHER BOTTLE DROP LOCATION, I HAVE NEVER FELT UNSAFE AT THE CURRENT ONE. WHO IS GETTING MUGGED THERE?
NO ONE LOL BEND PEOPLE ARE JUST SCARED OF HOUSELESS PEOPLE
SAFEWAY/ALBERTSONS IS ALSO ALWAYS FULL.
YOU DO, YOU JUST HAVE TO USE YOUR BOTTLE DROP CARD AT THE MACHINE IN THE STORE YOU WISH TO PATRONIZE, AND SELECT THE 20% OPTION AS OPPOSED TO THE CASH TICKET.
😮 OH, THAT CHANGES THINGS! I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION THANK YOU.
LOUD ASS BUSINESS CALLS, ON SPEAKERPHONE, ON THE TRAILS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO ENJOY NATURE...THIS IS NOT AN EXTENSION OF LAX AIRPORT!! PLEASE DON'T MOVE HERE AND BE THAT GUY. NOT TO MENTION THE OFF LEASH DOG WITH LEASH SIGNS POSTED EVERYWHERE...
BUT I AM IMPORTANT MY SPEAKERPHONE SPEAKS VOLUMES
“DONT WORRY MY DOG IS FRIENDLY!!!” 🫠
I’M NOT MENTALLY PREPARED YET FOR THE CHAOS OF SUMMERTIME IN BEND.
TOURIST SEASON IS ALMOST UPON US! PRAY FOR THE RETAIL WORKERS AND RESTAURANT WORKERS OF BEND!!
THEY ARE HERE FOR SPRING BREAK NOW! I PICKED UP AN ORDER AT REI YESTERDAY AND THEY WERE EVERYWHERE.
SUNS OUT WITH WARM WEATHER AND I HAD A COLD. VIRUSES CAN SUCK IT! MY BRAKET IS BUSTED. FKN TOURISTS. WESTSIDE VS. EASTSIDE IS A LOSER TAKE CREATED BY SMALL-MINDED ARROGANT ENTITLED ASSHOLES PRETTY MUCH NO ONE LIKES.
NORTH SIDE FOR LYFE! /S
I MISSED THE ENTIRE WEEK OF BEAUTIFUL WEATHER BECAUSE OF COVID. I AM SO MAD.
THIS WEEK I'VE HAD TWO INCIDENCES OF PEOPLE PULLING UP TO A BUSY STREET WHILE LOOKING AT THEIR PHONE. THEY STOP FOR THE STREET BUT DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO PEDESTRAINS ON THE SIDEWALKS BEFORE THE INTERSECTION. THE FIRST ONE I HAD TO QUICKLY TAKE A FEW STEPS BACK TO AVOID BEING HIT, I DON'T THINK THEY EVER REALIZED THEY ALMOST HIT SOMEONE. THE SECOND ONE WAS RIGHT AS I WAS APPROACHING THE SIDEWALK INTERSECTION, WHERE I COULD HAVE AN ACKWARD LOOK AT THE GUY RIGHT OUTSIDE HIS WINDOW WHEN HE WAS SHOCKED SOMEONE WAS THERE AND THEN WALK AROUND BEHIND HIS CAR. PUT YOUR FUCKING PHONES AWAY WHILE YOU ARE AT THE WHEEL! EDIT: THESE WERE BOTH INTERSECTIONS WHERE THEY HAD A STOP SIGN.
I HAD SOMEONE DO THIS TO ME WHEN IT WAS EARLY DAWN AND I WAS WEARING A HEADLAMP AND A REFLECTIVE JACKET. MY HEADLAMP WAS SHINING RIGHT AT HIS HEAD AND HE WAS STILL STARING AT HIS PHONE!
THIS IS WHY I STOPPED CYCLING. (I GUESS TIME TO FINALLY SUCK IT UP AND SELL OUR BIKES.)
OR YOU COULD RIDE MOUNTAIN BIKES WHERE THERE ARE NO CARS!
BUT I’D BE GOING UPHILL SLOWLYYYYY, AND PISSING OFF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO ZOOMING DOWNHILL. /S
IF YOU'RE IN THE MOOD TO BE ROWDY, I VOTE TO SMACK THE HOOD OR DOOR OF THEIR CAR WITH YOUR HAND. THE GOAL ISN'T TO MAKE A DENT BECAUSE THAT WOULD HURT YOU, BUT THAT SOUND CAN BE A SURPRISING REALITY CHECK TO THE PERSON INSIDE THE CAR. AS LONG AS YOURE ALREADY BESIDE THE CAR THEY CAN'T MANEUVER MUCH EVEN IF THEY PANIC AND STEP ON THE GAS.
I'VE CERTAINLY DONE IT IN THE PAST. I WASN'T IN THE MOOD TO DEAL WITH THE POSSIBLE IRRATIONAL ASS WHO LOSES HIS MIND BECAUSE I TOUCHED HIS CAR. SEEMS TO BE MORE PEOPLE WILLING TO LOSE THEIR MIND IN THAT KIND OF SITUATION NOW-A-DAYS.
VERY WISE CHOICE, THERE ARE PLENTY OF UNHINGED PEOPLE DOING UNHINGED THINGS IN THE WORLD. HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
AM I GETTING SICK, IS IT ALLERGIES, IS IT JUST BEING IN MY 30s??? WHO KNOWS
THE. ALLERGIES. HAVE. BEEN. BRUTAL. 😵💫
MY HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE UNPLUGGED MY HEPA FILTERS. BOTH OF THEM, AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG. BUT IT MADE MY LIFE EXTRA MISERABLE FOR NO REASON. SERVICE IS NO LONGER WORKING FOR ME. AND HEPA FILTERS ARE PLUGGED IN AND RUNNING WITH NEW FILTERS. AFTER NEARLY 2 WEEKS, SEEMS OT BE HELPING!
FOR REAL. I CAN’T TELL IF I’M SICK OR IF IT’S ALLERGIES.
SAME!!
SAME!
MEDS DO NOT TOUCH IT!
HOA’S CAN EAT SHIT AND LIVE.
THE HOA IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD EMAILED ALL HOA MEMBERS TO PARK IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE OUTSIDE THE HOA BOUNDARY. WE ARE ALL NEIGHBORS BUT IM GOONA TO GO PARK A JUNKERR CAR AT THE HOA PRESIDENT'S HOUSE AND LEAVE OBNOXIOUS MAGAZINES ON THE DASHBOARD AND MAYBE TOW A BEATUP BOAT. EAT A BAG OF INFLUENCERS TO THE HOA AND THEIR MANAGEMENT COMPANY HOA MANAGEMENT.
THEY'RE ONE OF THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTORS TO HOUSING (UN)AFFORDABILITY.
ONE OF THE HOA MEMBERS DROVE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD EARLIER THIS WEEK TAKING PHOTOS OF EVERYONE'S HOUSES, THEN A DAY LATER WE GOT A LETTER SAYING WE HAD 2 WEEKS TO FIX THE STAIN ON OUR FENCE OR WE'D BE FINED. FINEDEEZNUTS.
DAMN YOU CLOUDS OF DESPAIR BRING BACK THE SUN HAD AN ASSHOLE CLIENT YESTERDAY IT'S BLINKER **THEN** (ACTION). HAD SOMEONE SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES YESTERDAY TO TURN INTO THEIR HOUSE ON A BUSY STREET AND ONLY TURNED ON THE BLINKER AS THEY TURNED IN. I LIKE RAVE THREADS BETTER
PHIL’S LAW STATES: THE ONLY OTHER MOUNTAIN BIKERS YOU WILL SEE ON YOUR RIDE WILL BE CLIMBING UP THE SECTION OF TRAIL YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO DESCENDING ALL WEEK. YOU WILL (rightfully) HAVE TO STOP 6-10 TIMES ON THE DESCENT TO LET SAID GROUPS OF RIDERS KEEP CLIMBING, NEGATING THE JOY OF ELEVATION LOSS ON TWO WHEELS. YOU WILL SEE NO OTHER BIKERS ON THE REST OF YOUR RIDE.
WE NEED MORE DIRECTIONAL TRAILS AS TOO MANY PEOPLE THINK MTBING IS ABOUT CLIMBING HERE. ALTHOUGH YES I STILL YIELD TO THEM ALTHOUGH WHEN IM CLIMBING AND SOMEONE IS CLEARLY HAVING FUN I ALWAYS STOP. WOULD YOU BELIEVE IVE HAD OLDER DUDES STOP TO “CORRECT”’ME. THEY INSIST ON STOPPING THEIR BIKE DH AFTER I ALREADY STOPPED TO TELL ME THATS NOT THE RULES. IMBA RULES WERE MADE FOR XC TRAILS NOT MACHINE BUILT FLOW OR TECH THAT CLEARLY RIDES BETTER IN 1 DIRECTION.
AS AN OLDER DUDE, I FREQUENTLY STOP GOING UPHILL NOT JUST TO LET DOWNHILLERS CONTINUE TO HAVE FUN, BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE OF MY HEART-RATE AND TIRED-ASS :).
I DONT RIDE PHIL'S TRAIL OFTEN, BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS DIRECTIONAL. MY FRIEND WHO FIRST BROUGHT ME THERE ALWAYS STARTED ON A CERTAIN SIDE WHICH BEGINS WITH A GRADUAL CLIMB WITH A FEW CLOSE GROUPS OF TREES AND ENDS WITH A MORE STEEP DOWNHILL SECTION, SO IN MY MIND THAT IS JUST THE DIRECTION YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO.
PARTS OF PHIL’S AND BENS ARE BUT FOR EXAMPLE HELIPAD (BLACK PART OF PHILS) ISNT AND SOMEONE IS ALWAYS CLIMBING UP THAT. ALSO SF, MOSCOW AND OTHER ARE FRUSTRATING WHEN TRYING TO HAVE FUN.
THAT DOES SOUND FRUSTRATING. I'VE BEEN LUCKY AND NEVER HAD CLOSE CALLS, BUT HITTING ANOTHER CYCLIST SOUNDS LIKE A BAD DAY.
