    Hoover administration’s response to the “Bonus Army”:
    “Maj. George Patton led the cavalry and six tanks from the Ellipse… Up ahead, veterans and civilians just getting off work lined Pennsylvania Avenue and sang patriotic songs, believing they were about to witness a parade. Instead, the infantry fixed bayonets, tossed gas canisters, and began herding the outraged veterans and onlookers north. Some of the veterans tried to resist, but they were quickly swept away.”

    My neighbor ARPANET has some things say about Mr. Gore’s claim… I think the binary part of the sign is their rebuttal.

    Until chain grease comes in another color aside from black… the bar tape stays. :p

    Then you need to get a black saddle.

    http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/#8

    Rule #8 // Saddles, bars, and tires shall be carefully matched.

    Valid options are:
    •Match the saddle to the bars and the tires to black; or
    •Match the bars to the color of the frame at the top of the head tube and the saddle to the color of the frame at the top of the seat tube and the tires to the color where they come closest to the frame; or
    •Match the saddle and the bars to the frame decals; or
    •Black, black, black

    Believe me, a white saddle wasn’t my choice. But when the saddle you need in your size ends up the the clearance bin for $100 off, you give the rules a miss. Besides, once I install my other white maneki neko bottle cage, it will all come together.

    This is last one for a while (I promise!) but this was important enough to me that I made the special trip last night to visit it.

    Let me tell you about the 100th Infantry Battalion:

    I’m still in awe by their story.34d6c18e1b28cba535df800081f74182.jpgfeeeb1ce36d12f8dec7a46248e1c9b81.jpg
