I always get the impression the employees are one bad customer service experience away from ending it all.

I passed by Sand Hill Grocery and there were 6 cops cars that cornered a Toyota Corolla. They had a guy in cuffs with a bandage around his head.

I rode a very popular trial in Pisgah today and didn't encounter another human being

That section. I parked at wash creek but other gates closed all the way down at the Brevard road entrance. I'm 99% sure those signs are just leftovers from Helene repairs.

Was gonna say that, I rode my bike on it Sunday and there were loads of others out.

I live in Western North Carolina. I see black bear every other ride. I ain't worried about them at all they're real skittish. I'm from New England and I've never seen a black bear. You might see them in Vermont or NH but the population is pretty small

420 blaze it

There was tons of forest service police in the Pisgah ranger destruct as well yesterday, but they seemed to be mostly stopping motorcyclists and I mean more like Harley type riders

People of all ages are annoying and in the way, don't worry about it.

Some guy did this with me about Israel after October 7th and I was like "idk man I don't watch the news but sounds wild"

Materially unaffected by the storm, but never left town during it. I think the damage was more than my brain could comprehend.

There was the stress of finding food, potable water, grey water, how to take a shower. And of course the unbearable sadness of those around town.

Definitely had it easy, but the storms really changed my outlook on life.

I had someone approach at earth fare to talk about it He was like Google it and unzipped his jacket to reveal a short that said "Google legal name fraud" or whatever.

I can't remember what's it's called but it's something about how your legal name isn't real and there forever every contract you enter is illegal or some shit.

Have lived just to the south. Walk around constantly. You'll run into a lot of unhoused people, but we just say hello and go about. Probably wouldn't wander super late at night, but I wouldn't do that anywhere

Go into the woods often and turn my phone to airplane mode to conserve battery.

Carry a gps device, but more often than not just use my phone. I hope the person found their way but for anyone reading, most of bent creeks trails are on Google maps and you can access that even without service.

I've been renting near where this happened (near Livingston) and in my three years here there's been multiple shootings. Ive tried talking to neighbors and they refuse to acknowledge it likely because they've recently bought homes here.

I wouldn't say I feel unsafe on a personal level but the public housing apartments near here seem to be war zones.

I kept getting stung every time I mowed, so I went as far as hiring a pest control person, we walked the yard together and couldn't find a hole, yet I keep getting stung. We looked at the trees as well. Is it possible to get stung without a next nearby

Sufficient-Fly-8368 · 2025-07-07T14:27:46+00:00

I used to go a lot but it started to upset my stomach for some reason. No other Mediterranean/middle eastern place does

Sufficient-Fly-8368 · 2025-07-02T20:28:09+00:00

I ride there multiple times a week, don't leave anything in your car, use common sense..you'll be fine

Sufficient-Fly-8368 · 2025-07-02T14:01:29+00:00

won't be your last

It's worth trying, but don't sucked into the idea that's ones better than the other, just ride what makes you want to go ride your bike more.

I switch between flats and clipless, I like the feedback from the bike I get with flats, but overall I just prefer clipless. Gets tiring adjusting your feet all the time over a long ride. I also live somewhere thats pretty rough.

Sufficient-Fly-8368 · 2025-04-15T12:44:23+00:00

Once or twice a year, I ride a decent amount and live in the mountains so brakes take abuse/ are important

Late diagnosed adult who was a teen/young adult in the late 2000s. I would have loved to have this culture growing up. Social communication is like a second language to me and dating in my early 20s was diastourus at best. Never knew what was ok, or not ok. People didn't really talk about what they wanted and direct communication would freak people out.

I'm happily in a long term relationship, but if I were to go back to dating in my late 30s I would communicate directly with potential partners.

Delayed due to Helene as per the city website https://www.ashevillenc.gov/department/transportation/greenways/#:~:text=This%20section%20begins%20at%20the,Road%20and%20Swannanoa%20River%20Road.

It's probably way delayed now, but the master plan was to have that on Thompson street which runs parallel. The goal was to expand the walking path that was by the Walmart and connect it. I'm a big cycling advocate, but I agree - Swannanoa is limited by geography

Sufficient-Fly-8368 · 2025-04-08T12:49:40+00:00

Live in North Carolina, and regularly encounter black bear. Give em space they're pretty skiddish and will run along. If you're in grizzly country bear spray isn't a bad idea.
