I will start listening to the (real! actual!) dangers of e-bikes when we start paying even 1/100th the proportionate attention to the dangers of cars, which kill 40,000 Americans each year.

You know you're part of an arena curling club when:
1) Sub requests highlight the prime time slot of 8:30 to 10:00pm (instead of 10:00-11:30 PM)
2) The request mentions the "preferred sheet" that's not along the boards.

Leadership simplified:
Hire good people.
Give them the tools to succeed.
Provide them the security to take calculated risks.
Get out of their way.
Let go of over-controlling.
Support, don't thwart.
Cultivate intrinsic motivation.
Trust them to do their job.

They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
