Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 5/4/26, 8:12 am

Remember a while ago when like every open thread was Carl has something to say about the library? Anyway here’s another Carl rides his bike post.* It was either that or complain about taking the bus in Tacoma again.**

Anyway, the bike lane is for moving bikes (and scooters, etc.). I understand people crossing the road or going out of their cars are going to be in the bike lane for a second. But!

Stop walking long ways through it. Especially on 2nd where there’s ample sidewalk. And for God’s sake, holding hands? There’s a sidewalk. It’s bad enough being stuck behind slow walkers when I’m walking, but when I’m on a bike?

And are people parking their Lime Bikes in the bike lane or are people putting them there? Either way, please stop.

I love having the bike lanes. It’s so much nicer than when I moved to the urban core, let alone growing up in the area. I think a little consideration would make them even better.

* Carl, you had too many Carl rides his bike pieces from the jump.

** The 3 takes such a weird detour to the Tacoma Mall and then just sits there before doubling back for a bit??? Also, not a complaint or the bus, but T Line got good at some point!

    Your piece above makes little sense, Carl. The auto-complete feature is scrambling your intent. Proofread your work.

    Proofread your work.

    This would carry more weight had you spelled Grammar correctly, Miss.

    Rudi’s funeral is booked at the Ritz Cracker Barrell with celebration of life to follow at Graham’s Tavern.

    We regret we mistakenly thought we booked the Gramercy Tavern but when was the last time you were in Queens?

    One might wonder why Brown University is being sued by DOJ in Texas until one notices Judge Reed O’Connor ordered Brown affiliated hospitals To turn over all medical records for gender affirming care patients.

    Then it becomes abundantly clear why a district with no plausible jurisdiction got the case.

    Yes, a typo, but still able to be understood. Carl’s was a little unintelligible.

    Iranian and U.S. vessels in the Strait of Hormuz exchanged fire this morning.
