My experiences with cyclists collected within about 18 months in Portland:

  • Stoner 19yo girl cuts in front of the bus and flips it off on her way to Reed College, barely survives. But she has girl power so she's invincible over us. Probably dying of antibiotic resistant gonhorrea to own her parents now.

  • Stoner wake and bake guy who interrogated me about why I don't ride a bike to the bus like he does. I explain that my hip is injured and incapable of rotating like that. He lights another bowl, gets a really smug look on his face, and feels superior. His license is revoked for DUIs.

  • Drunk chad on a bike runs into the side of the bus, becomes a medical emergency. Everyone has to get out and wait half an hour for the next one.

I can respect the last one.

He heard the emperor's call and felt irresistible urge to kamikaze into a nearby bus

Probably one of those sleeper agents they had deployed here for the next Pearl Harbor. There's a reason why half the kids at summer camp in my generation were Japanese. :marseyglancing:

This leads into 2 mildly interesting stories if anyone cares enough before I go to bed. :marseysleep:

There was a J-drama in the 1980s-1990s about how great Oregon is.

From Oregon with Love. It helped that prices were fricking insane in Japan at the time.

But yeah, in our boomer times we grew up with Jap kids in the forest.

It's a long story that I'll play out as a soap opera or something.

That's how great Oregon used to be.

(Notice what I did there. Because Oregon is famously rainy.)

You can tell it's a good day drinking bar when there are bikes parked out front.
