#2 Ready other articles at that site, headline is par for the course.

But go ahead and hype how chic cool it is your bedroom is your new cubicle and how easy it is to get to happy hour in your kitchen.

Perhaps with an appropriate number of joy joy postings your ward Karen will allow 30 minutes outside time.

#4 Who moves to Sturgis and is like, "What motorcycle rally?"

It isn't a safety piece, it is an opinion piece concern trolling any readers who are thinking about going, and giving permission to the Kens and Karens and anyone who feels emasculated by motorcycles permission to sneer or even 5 minute hate.

These tourist destinations are destinations for good reason; they have a festival like Sturgis does, or is the gateway to a National Park or other attraction. People from all over the world come to see the attraction. Some love it so much, they pack up their life and move there.

Then when they get there, they get pissed there are tourists, and do everything they can to discourage tourism. Seriously Terry, you kiss your own ass with that mought?

#5 1,000,000, isn't that the daily NYC subway commute?

I'd take my chances five days in a cigar smoking, whiskey shooting, rode 2000 miles to get here biker bar over one cross-NYC subway commute any day of the week plus Boglesday.
