Halito Woods. Jack, we were on an ALR ride once and coming down a road saw what I initially thought was a wrapped up tire tread off a semi up the road. As we got closer that damned thing took flight! It was an eagle feasting on some road kill! Another time by buddy and I rented a cabin on the AuSable River in northern Michigan. The cabin had a small canoe dock with a bench seat. We would go out there and have our morning coffee and watch an Eagle fly down the river looking for breakfast. Those are beautiful creatures!
Hope you all have a good day. And please don't rub it in that you can still ride....,mine is in winter storage and I'm envious as hell of those of you who can still ride!!
Remember I'm pulling for ya.....we're all in this together.

It wasn't insulting, it was presumptuous and wrong. At least she followed up by hauling out the vacuum and doing the floor while patrons were dining.

As studies have shown 82% of the last half of customers find 29% of the final one fourth of the entire group responsible for 71% of the total tip pool.

Perhaps it's just a conditioned response from people handing her $20 on a $19.00 bill

My condolences. We went Friday and I chose to use it as a personal goal to not kill somebody. I’m happy to report that I passed. Barely

She married a guy who doesn't even have his own tools, he's the head of the public works department there in Muenster, TX.

The odd part is we obviously received the exact change and each left a $5.03 tip on the table and pocketed the remainder. 2 bucks ain't gonna change either of our lives. Who knows, maybe if she hadn't acted as she did we would have left all the change for her.

Who the hell am I kidding? a 65% tip.......
