That was crass. You don’t tell the people who are paying your fee that they’re fat.

See previous post about needing more coffee.<br /> <br /> The crossing that the deets is talking about, I could see a light that you have to push the button for. People drive so fast along that street (four lane street) that it is a really bad bike vs. car waiting to happen. Kevin, I thought you were talking about the stoplight at Hiawatha.

I heard one of the organizers say it was the largest opening day crowd ever. Our booth was so busy (and I was working alone) that I didn't take lunch Tuesday or Wednesday. Two people are working it today and one of them called me sounding all proud that they had people at the booth pretty much non-stop. I was like, yeah, I dealt with that on my own for two full days. Congratulations, dude. How was FarmFest, PwrGeek?
