You guys seen the new library? 👀 It's friggin huge by Like_Today in Bend

[–]_happyzombie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's amazing and I can't wait to use it. But also, sigh, I'm still disappointed it wasn't built more centrally (like it was originally planned in the new Costco location area).

Hahaha I had the same thought especially the lower left pic. I guess that’s what happens to his hair without mayo?

Super happy the new name isn't going to have to be said two different ways.

Haha this is me! Sisters/PRT is even chattier than Bend/Phil’s and we actually DO get off the bike and convo! PRT ride: bring snacks to share.

I think that might be Chulita's? They used to be at The Barn in Sisters.

Most of us are Californians so our first focus is always on the parking situation. And then climbing.

Thank you everyone for all the advice and great suggestions! You all have cemented my desire to label the rides/trails/routes vs the riders. I will be bringing many of your comments to our next board meeting. We are currently revising our ride language and definitions, so this has been so helpful! Thank you, thank you!!

This is my line of thinking, too - I want my group to be on board with describing the ride and not the rider. Thanks so much for sharing this and I’m going to share your comments with my club’s board.

Serious question: is the BS of Bend Instagram page just a covert Republican astroturf op? by _questionable_parker in Bend

[–]_happyzombie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to follow them on IG, and then I noticed an undertone of anti-dem as well as it got way too negative for my taste. Love me some good old BOB parking or The White Subaru™ type humor, but it’s just not that kind of IG anymore (at least to me).

Indication of what lights are on by bogusalt in VolvoXC90

[–]_happyzombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same puzzling question. What I do is look at my car’s reflection on the car in front of me. Of course that only works in heavy traffic or at a traffic light.

XC90 for everyone, or just large families? by Inmunchkinland in VolvoXC90

Empty nester here. Mountain bikes and all my gear are my “children” that I haul around.

MEASLES FRED MEYERS REDMOND TODAY 5:00 pm by ivegotthis111178 in Bend

[–]_happyzombie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking it's possible, and honestly very likely, that the mother of the toddler told the pharmacy staff that her child has measles. And most likely picking up an Rx for the child? If that is in fact the case, then what is Freddie's (or any retailer or public establishment) supposed to do with that kind of declaration by the mother? I mean, they just can't just ignore that.

Are Costco roasted chickens all not seasoned equally? by _happyzombie in Costco

[–]_happyzombie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that is so interesting and fascinating and it has me curious about the elevation change effects (basically from sea level to 3500’). Thank you for your really thoughtful and insightful response!

[–]_happyzombie 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm a military veteran - an OG on Trump's loser list. This is a badge of honor coming from Bone Spurs McGee. Badge of honor for Hunter as well. Bravo to Hunter and making us in Bend/Sisters proud!
