This is how groovy my wife is: she just finished restoring this 1970-ish American Flyer muscle bike for herself. Total project cost: $40
It will be riding on the bumper of the 1959 Airstream she's restoring
I had a Schwinn Stingray, but always dug those off-brand hardware store/ gas station muscle bikes... Huffys, American Flyers, etc
For pure dragster/muscle bike panache, it is hard to top the Raleigh Chopper
The greatest bike design ever was the Bowden Spacelander. Prototype debuted at the 1946 'Britain Can Make It' show in UK, but didn't go into production until 1959 in Michigan. Only about 500 were made. I want one for the Airstream, but they cost 3x the Airstream

All Nerds, Bow Before Your King
keep practicing, and some day hot Spanish girls will pay you to caress their locks with your sweet katana moves and Wolverine claws
Take it from ol' Dave: chicks will start paying attention if you give 'em a little peekaboo unbuttoned shirt action, especially the bottom buttons

Sonics, "Louie Louie" > original by Richard Berry. Both are classics in their own right, but the Sonics version is definitive and arguably the first headbanger record ever made
Richard Berry's original is a fine mid-tempo R&B shuffle...
...rediscovered by Tacoma WA band Rockin' Robin Roberts & the Wailers a few years later...

This is why you can't trust Wikipedia. Sure, I'm dead, but obviously my poetry is not "humorously bad"
my ghostly apparition remains floating in this mortal coil only to haunt the critics of my poetry
Someday, my doggerel will be universally proclaimed the finest works of art ever produced by a human being. Until then, I will remain in your timeline, eerily rattling my chains and dropping fart jokes

Well this is interesting. @yourcolchester Cabinet have decided not to spend an extra £100k on North Essex Garden Communities UNTIL they've received an update letter from the Planning Inspector on which parts of the plan are viable. The recommendation was to agree the spending.
Opposition Cllrs are very supportive of decision to withhold the 100k. But still unhappy with North Essex Garden Communities company. Q of why NEGC is spending £130k on PR firm? @MarkAlanCory says this is for public engagement sessions about the plans-not PR.
Resident Paul Griffith has concerns Re NEGC
1. Says @Tim4Labour shouldn't be allowed to vote as an NEGC board member
2. Costs. He asks what there is to show for £3m spent so far. Criticises transparency.
3. Risks. Says NEGC itself acknowledges many risks "inherently uncertain"

1. The weaponization of our society seems to cover just about every facet of #American lifestyle. From life's necessities to technology, to media, even our governing agencies. We have to ask: #WhereDoesItAllEnd?.. in #MartialLaw?

#EverythingWeaponized
2. Let's first define what it means to '#Weaponize'. It's simple...do the opposite of what something is supposed to do:

A. Make drinking water unsafe
B. Make food poisonous instead of nutritious
C. Allow @TheJusticeDept to let crime flourish
D. Turn our news into lies: #FakeNews
3. Clearly, the single greatest threat to our society and our entire earth is #GeoEngineering - the spraying of our skies by both military & commercial aircraft.

Just #Lookup!.. it's not hard to spot But what are the motives? We've heard it all. #Chemtrails #OpChemtrails #HAARP

#American friends, if I lived in your great country, near an outstanding public official like @SecretaryCarson, I'd respond to this #LeftistHarassment by standing silently outside with 🇺🇸 & a #MAGA sign.

"Protesting" can't undo the election. It helps with #WalkAway though.😄
Exhibits A, B, C, and D.

Stay classy, Leftists. #WalkAway
The fed officials the Left is targeting are protected by one or more of the:
>US Secret Service
>Federal Protective Service (DHS)
>The US Marshals (part of the DOJ)
>US Capitol Police
>Other agencies at fed, state & local level
>Private security.

This won't happen>

I've started carrying around a bike helmet just in case I need to take a @jumpbikes somewhere (it's often faster than Uber pool/Lyft shared or MUNI during rush hour). Would love one I can just tuck into my backpack. Looked up collapsible bike helmets on Amazon (1/3)
But they're all SUUUUPER expensive (~$140-170). Anyone know why this is? Definitely seems like there'd be more of a market for this with bike/scooter shares. smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no… #Bike #BikeShare (2/3)
Awesome to not have to lug a bike around, but it's not really a feasible last mile option if you don't always have a helmet with you. An easily collapsible/storable helmet would solve this better than a helmet that comes with bikes/scooter (fit issues, might be dirty, etc) 3/3

#Total CEO Patrick Pouyanné: [#Trump's] announcement on #Iran clearly is pushing the price up. And I would not be surprised to see $100 per barrel in the coming months because, clearly, you will have some impacts. 
#Oil #IranDeal
csis.org/analysis/conve…
#Pouyanné: we know we are back to the situation we were before the 2016 agreement, and in the meantime #Iran has grown its exportation by 1 million barrel(s) per day. So this 1 million barrel(s) per day is in question today.
#IranDeal
#Total CEO Pouyanné: We have decided to look to that project in Iran because of the #JCPOA, which means end of secondary sanctions. As soon as the U.S. decide to put back in place the secondary sanctions, there is no possibility for us to be a major company, a global company.
