Well I had this grandiose plan to start the New Year with a super positive blog post to get the year started right. You know, list all the resolutions and tell you guys what a great year it's going to be. That plan is ruined and I'm now just pissed.
I went out to the garage yesterday to find that one of my precious ponies had been stolen. Some sucker had the guts to walk into my garage and take it right off the ceiling hooks. Granted I've learned my lesson that I can't leave the garage door open, but this was in the middle of the day.
It gets better....I called the insurance company and they proceed to tell me that it probably doesn't make sense to file the claim because after they depreciate the value of the bike it will be equal to my deductible. Needless to say I was pretty pissed. I've come to realize that insurance is basically a legal scam, you're damned if you have it and really damned if you don't.
I really do hate to start the new year with such a negative vibe but I can't help hoping that whoever is riding my bike falls and breaks their neck. With my luck the criminal will repent in the next few years and won't have to suffer the eternal consequences.

I completely share your opinion on insurance!!! And with the resolutions, well they are ment to be broken. It sucks that you didn't get the choice and some jerk made it for you. Maybe you will see them riding your bike, 200 points if you hit them with your car and don't get caught!!
I heard about the "karate monkey"! I hope that guy "karate monkey's" his nuts on that steel frame one day.

You are funny Ben, you have always succeeded at making me laugh. I loved your great start to 08 entry! Sorry about your bike, that sucks. By the way...WE DID NOT LOOK AT HOMES IN BOISE.

The good thing is that it's a pretty rare bike, so it's easy to spot. Hopefully I'll see some ignorant kid ridding it and I'll just run his ass over. Or even better I'll see someone ridding it out at Cottonwood and I'll beat him with my shoe and them bury them in the desert.
Rachel,
This is a safe place, you don't have to worry about your employer finding out that your looking at homes in Boise. Just know that you'll be missed whether it's Boise or New Jersey.
what a prick.. my news resolution is to find them and chinese torture them.
