Well, since my replies to her post, two other Cousins and numerous people I don't know have posted pretty hard criticism about her attitude toward gays. Both of these Cousins I know well, and have spent a lot of time with since living in Texas. They both defended me, not only as a gay person, but as a person in general, and both were pretty harsh toward her prejudice. This makes me feel really good, especially since one of the Cousins is male and very religious himself. I'm proud of his stance!

fuck off

After contemplating renting it for the 5th (!) time, I did some research, saw that refurb prices have come way down, and finally pulled the trigger on the Sony RX1. I'll post some pix here "soon."

I will always respond to homophobic diatribe, whether online or in person. But I always try to be calm and non-threatening. Otherwise it's just more fuel for the fire. Sometimes it's hard to stay level headed, but it's essential to get people to stop and listen. Even I have been turned off by militant gays spewing reverse hate.

That's why I kept renting it, instead of buying it. But then I bought it, because I kept renting it. So, yeah, don't rent it or try it or look at it or anything, ever.

I figure I'm pretty much doomed to look like a goofy bastard in a helmet so why worry.

I'm having biscuits and gravy for lunch today in your honor

Right there with ya, Jacob.

That's too bad. My older brother has been in a same sex relationship in Texas for longer than my 22 year old marriage, and my family are all understanding or supportive.

I like how in Tapatalk, it says fuck off ____________________________ - end -

It may take a while, but stick it out, Steve. Eventually they'll realize that being gay is just a thing. I firmly believe that we're finally on the downhill slope for that battle. It may take generations until everyone is convinced, but casual homophobia will become as taboo as casual racism in most circles soon. When the judge ruled that gay marriage is allowed in PA the other day, I was shocked when the Governor decided not to fight it, because he knew he'd lose. It's inevitable now. Plus, the great thing about facebook is you can pick and choose which battles you fight.

I recently gave Facebook another try. I wanted to be able to keep in touch with friends and relatives I don't see often. I'm thinking I was right to hate Facebook after all. A Cousin of mine posted some trash about gays being an abomination to God. Gotta love having Redneck relatives! I felt it my duty to post another viewpoint, but I was tactful, reasonable and polite. She posted "Why are you shitting on my post?" I posted "Why are you shitting on my life?" Her..."WTF are you talking about?" Me..."I'm gay! It's no secret!!!" "You post the voice of hatred, and I'll post the voice of reason. Say hello to your Mom for me." Fucking uneducated bigots!

katy lied - steely dan (shm cd) heard a few of these tonight, they seem pretty nice its been so long since i've listened to anything other than gaucho or aja though.

My legs don't work under 80 degrees

I am happy at about 64 degrees.

Nice bike, Jeff. Clashes with your weight weenie side though Birthday ride for me today

The dynamo front wheel was not done yet so I am going with my old MTB headlight for the moment. Too lazy to carry this thing downstairs to weigh it but I would guess 40 pounds.

First orders should ship on Tuesday. Some pics from the production process ... Wood sides curing on the shop floor. Some front panels just out of the laser engraver (and not yet cleaned) A batch of populated boards just out of the solder oven. A fully populated board undergoing its first tests.

show off your headcases here. I'll start.
