World is messed up!

Curly is gonna tell you a little story about how messed up the world has gotten. Yesterday was Mrs. Curly's birthday. Ol' Curly was busy, but made sure he had time to do some special things for Mrs. Curly... A) get her a Subway Club (toasted, lettuce, no mayo, mustard, olives, light onions, salt/pepper, oil and vinegar) and 2) Get something chocolate for dessert... and lastly) A card with something fancy written in it.

Curly did all of that... and as he was leaving the store on the way to get the Subway Club... he clipped a woman's car. Cut the damned turn too sharp and scraped the hell out of a woman's bumper. It was as recognizable of a sound as a crash going on behind you in the pack. Of course Curly said some foul words and stuff, but then he had to get out and assess the damage. He managed the catch the lady and her 4 kids as they was heading into the store. Curly apologized somethin' fierce. The lady was patting her bumper and saying "Ahhh, it's just paint"... Curly knew though that there was a husband at home that would not feel the same way... as Curly would be pissed if Mrs. Curly said such a thing.

So here's where the world gits messed up. She thanked Ol' Curly profusely for stopping and making sure she had his insurance info and for taking responsibility for scratching up her car. That, folks... is truly messed up. When we live in a world where people expect others to do the wrong thing. Now I know Ol' Curly comes off as some sort of cynical toolshed sometimes... but Curly believes that everybody gits outta bed each day with the intent of doing the right thing. This is Curly's first time at hittin' a car... cuz he's a near perfect driver. This sort of thing really hits Curly in the juniper berries... So here's what I want you to do today.

1) Invite someone into traffic, don't make them squeeze in.
2) Hold the door for at least 5 people
3) Give a homeless man/woman whatever is in your pocket
4) Buy a coffee for the person behind you
5) Bring some donuts to the office
6) Say "good morning" to total strangers

Your training this weekend. I want you to do OHOP this weekend... then after you fix your bike and put a new set of wheels on, do the Time Trial on Sunday. Give it your all for both days. If you hit someones car... do the right thing... we got some fixin' to do.

Oh yeah... The answer... Elefantino... cuz his ears stuck out... but then he got them pinned back and became a Pirate.
