@BikeMayorHfx I use them on my tern ebike as well as on an analog mtb, less for snow than for icy patches that are common in the road margins we're shoved into. all it takes is one bad slip avoided to pay for itself.
For reasons unknown my publicist Terry asked me to write my own prewritten obituary. Fine
Cormac McCarthy - the world's most competent writer and whisky connoisseur - departed the earth on the same day a sentient wig possessed of an ancient evil was arraigned in Florida, a state governed by crocodiles
He leaves behind a body of work that echoes the gritty reality of life and a Twitter account that echoes his disdain for Terry and his nurse and his nurse's idiot boyfriend Ziggy and roller rinks and Gen Z and millennials and kombucha and the Mandalorian and
In life he was a man of few words. In death he is only slightly more reticent. His publicist Terry is already no doubt concocting posthumous tweets to keep the golden goose laying eggs. Terry is a venal man with no shame so we expect nothing more
A man more at home with scotch and leather recliners than the company of others, Cormac elevated the term reclusive author to new heights of respectability. All authors now fancy themselves reclusive but still they speak to humans and grant interviews and acknowledge the grocery clerk with more than a grunt and nod. But not Cormac McCarthy. His literary prowess was only matched by his ability to avoid public appearances. Whether dodging book signings or exposing the infernal internet as the confusing labyrinth it is, Cormac McCarthy enlightened the feeble minded masses like that greek god with the fire who got his liver eaten by a hawk. Prometheus or whatever. I dont care what his name was.
Cormac McCarthy is survived by his daughter who turned out to be a millennial despite his best efforts and his granddaughter, a TikTok video in human form.
His greatest disappointment was failing to survive his lawyer Gregory. No lawyer should outlive his client.
In lieu of flowers you must do three things:
1. Retweet this to increase its metrics something something who cares
2. Read Air Turbulence, a comedic stage play he wrote under the absurd pseudonym Daniel Watts, and send a DM if you want to produce it locally https://t.co/hpzaI7pMol
3. Give thanks that the First Amendment has strong protections for obvious parody of public figures

Iโve seen some guys posting on social media lately about how they are winning bc their wife is attractive, while I donโt disagree I think finding a wife who is a great mother is 500% more important!!! Thanks @Abamaby for being such a great mom to our kids.
