Coping With Loss

A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

Oops... :-) Bad road guard!!!
You have no idea how often this happens. I do some location audio for videos and indie trailers and I cannot count the number of times the location people simply screw up. It's maddening.
And in this case, because I'm not involved, funny!
Here I am, straining my eyes for wrist watches and traffic helicopters in the distance... Heh.
My first thought was the soldier with his hands in his pockets. Some feldwebel would surely have his ass for that.
Yeah, my wife had to watch that three times before she caught the biker. He goes by fast enough that it's easy to miss the non-Forties getup.
One of my friends who works on a paving crew is always ranting about bicyclists. For some reason bicyclists don't seem to think that a "Road Closed" barricade applies to them. They just blast right through, then they end up in the middle of all his machinery laying smoking hot asphalt down, rolling over it at high speed with heated rollers, and otherwise doing stuff that can turn a bicyclist into a splotch on the (new) pavement, and they don't understand at all why he is screaming at them and why he is on the phone calling the nearest law enforcement to arrest them.
Here's my take on it: If the bicyclist is wearing spandex, he's an asshole. People who ride bicycles for transportation wear street clothes and try to stay out of the way of motorists and law enforcement. It's the fuckheads who have the time and money to ride thousand dollar bicycles for recreation while wearing hundreds of dollars of spandex who think their shit don't stink and thus they don't gotta obey little things like road closed signs and traffic laws in general...
Of course, the Silicon Valley is populated with that type in general, so it may be an unfair generalization of bicyclists "in the wild" outside of the Silicon Valley. (Shrug). I report. You decide.
