Paulette- Any given day, I see cyclists breeze right through the 4-way stop @ College/Arroyo/South…Read More L. The only exception is families when riding together. When anyone blatantly disregards safety, drivers and cyclists, I have NO problem honking or confronting them. Why would I deserve a ticket? I'm not the one breaking the law and putting others in jeopardy. There is no hate, Paulette. Maybe folks can use a smidgen common sense when on the road? Food for thought.

Christian- I agree w/ you as well. My husband & son are always out riding their bikes together…Read More (while I jog behind) and they follow the rules of the road. That's all I'm getting at.

another helpful thing in both sides learning to "share the road" would be if cyclists…Read More didn't ride side by side, leaving one of the cyclists extremely near if not over the bike lane. I cycle And drive, but I don't think some cyclists are courteous when they insist on having the privilege of visiting with their friend while risking their life and causing drivers to be even more cautious than necessary.

Could be a scam. Drowning victims often have a second boat waiting secretly to escape. Then leave…Read More park in trunk of car and start a new life under a new identity. Life insurance will payoff benefits to his family even if a body is not found if witnesses support drowning story and a Judge issues a death certificate. Several trails leave park where a waiting car could be parked. Drowned bodies do float up to lake surface a few days after drowning because bacteria gas builds up in dead body. Body slowly inflates like a huge skin bag and rises to surface in a warm water lake like del valle. Small fish nibble on it and scavenger birds circle it and peck at the dead flesh. Unless body is caught under water on submerged branches it will surface.

A great issue! However, the rodeo is nothing but animal cruelty wrapped up as "tradition"…Read More and "entertainment". Why would the animal's welfare become a concern now? Rodeo performers have been documented beating, kicking, and shocking normally docile cows and horses in chutes and holding pens. "Bucking broncos" and steers are provoked with electric prods, sharp sticks, caustic ointments, and the pinching "bucking" strap, which is what really makes them jump, they are not "wild" and "dangerous" . The cowboys earn points by spurring the bucking horse. I have seen them up close and many are bleeding. Calves, roped when running, have their necks snapped back by the lasso, often resulting in neck and back injuries, bruises, broken bones, and internal bleeding.
After their short and painful "careers," animals in rodeos are sent to the slaughterhouse. Dr. C.G. Haber, a veterinarian who spent 30 years as a federal meat inspector, describes the animals discarded from rodeos for slaughter as being "so extensively bruised that the only areas in which the skin was attached [to the flesh] was the head, neck, leg, and belly. I have seen animals with six to eight ribs broken from the spine and, at times, puncturing the lungs. I have seen as much as 2 to 3 gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin."
Every national animal protection organization opposes rodeos because of their inherent cruelty.
Don't feel bad everyone, I used to love the rodeo too. Before I knew better...

Something to consider and not pushing it aside because I feel its unimportant, but what I'd love to…Read More have access to is how the riders that were hurt are doing today. Two bull riders got gored, one in the back and he was down and out for a bit and then obviously not "okay" as he stumbled out of the arena and then another that got his leg hurt and he couldn't get himself over the gate on his own. Left saturday's Rodeo hoping they were okay and would love follow up if at all possible. Thanks!
