  1. careful, benson, I do yoga, although I usually take it indoors during a downpour and any dancing I do is already a caricature of itself. I’m sure Mrs. Slopey would agree.

    I tend to split the diff on this biking thing. Biking good; self-righteousness and road rage bad. Everyone — peds, bikers, drivers, should take a deep breath and ride/walk/drive defensively, within the rules of the road (exception for careful jaywalking) and without a chip on their shoulders.

    Slope;

    After reading FSRG’s post, I’m convinced he’s met my upstairs neighbor (it’s possible: FSRG lives the next block over from me). My upstairs neighbor is a lawyer whose entire practice is litigation on behalf of bicyclists. He doesn’t own a car, gets around everywhere by bike, and he’s kind of exactly what FSRG describes: super self-righteous about how he’s saving the planet.

    By the way, this weekend (when we had the heavy downpour) my neighbor’s wife was in front of the building, doing her dance and yoga exercise.

    Yes, they are almost a caricature.

    I felt a little wave of nausea reading about these cartoon characters. I avoid this type like a plague of bedbugs.
