What the Fk





I'm very confused right now. As most of you guys know, Hawaii is a weird mix of beautiful stuff and some very ghetto grossness. Living in pearl city so far, Lisa's car was stolen and stripped, Nicks car stereo was stolen after they drilled his lock, Liz's truck had her window smashed on the leeward so somebody could steal some PANTS!, somebody crawled underneath our house and took a 1gallon plastic gas container (since gas here was ~3.70, at least it had some perceived value), and now, just 10 minutes ago, I found out that somebody had gone into the saddle-bag of my bike (locked up on our porch) and taken my bike tool. Net value ~$10. The really confusing thing is, they left me this dirty bag of quarters. Like they were sorry so they gave me a few bucks back. This is almost like when Liz had her bike seat stolen from IfA. Somebody cut the lock, and unscrewed the seat from the post, then coiled the cut lock around her handle bars, so she's be sure to find it, and put the seat post back almost exactly like it was (at 3 in the afternoon right outside the main door). I'm glad they were curtious and neat about it, but wtf.... So anyways, now i have to go use some dirty quarters to go buy my self a new tool.

Will you buy me a tool while you're at it? =) Just kidding, I'll get my own.

That's seriously messed up! Hilarious that they left the quarters. But since you have the list going on, you forgot about my bike being stolen too...

No no no... I was talking about my first bike being stolen. You know, the reason I got the hybrid (which still kicks ass, by the way).

Our souless capitalistic society has led to the masses no longer caring what they do or who they harm, it is easier to steal than to work for you own. If the CEO's can do it so can I so, to speak. At least you got bike tool thieves that had a small glimmer of humanity left in their rotted out cores.I hope the bastards rot in hell. Well so much for my rant

Now I feel so glad that i don't need any tools for my bike ;) France seems definitely a safer place to ride !

Gilles, going back to sneezing and trying to avoid all the birds flying over Strasbourg (not that easy...)
