Joe Guzzardo replied to Gopher Biker's discussion 'Stoned Skokie driver kills little boy on his bike, gets 5 years'"She was sentenced to 5 years hard time plus 2 years probation and a token fine. With good behavior, she'll probably serve less than that. They say the weed in prison is pretty good, so I won't waste any sympathy on her.
I also have…"
mike w. replied to Gopher Biker's discussion 'Stoned Skokie driver kills little boy on his bike, gets 5 years'""But a prosecutor and Cook County Circuit Judge Lauren Gottainer Edidin said Carter's death could not be called an "accident," because Goma admitted smoking marijuana on the day the boy was killed.

Adam Herstein (5.5 mi) replied to Gopher Biker's discussion 'Stoned Skokie driver kills little boy on his bike, gets 5 years'"Honestly, considering maybe people just get a $100 fine or nothing at all for killing a cyclist, I'd say this is a step in the right direction. Inevitably, people only seem to get jail time if drugs are involved.
Still, another needless…"

Gopher Biker replied to in it to win it 8.0 mi's discussion 'I rode today. Did you?'"Beautiful morning for a ride into work."
Gopher Biker replied to Juan 2-8 mi.'s discussion 'Constantly scaring would be doorers. A guilty accidental pleasure.'"I typically yell/say - 'Door!'
I love it when someone is walking toward their car, looks right at you, and then opens the door rather than wait for you to pass."
John L. Douglass left a comment for Gopher Biker"Got your message Gopher, will go back on the attack. Already sent E-mail to McGrath sons 1 and 2, the two operators of Acura and Lexus. I feel it is mostly Acura abusing the parking, though. I will be back once they reply. Apologies!"

Gopher Biker replied to notoriousDUG's discussion 'When do you commute?'"I typically leave Skokie at 5am and then leave the UIC (medical district) for the return trip around 4-4:30pm."
Gopher Biker replied to in it to win it 8.0 mi's discussion 'I rode today. Did you?'"Snake bit on the rear on the way in this morning & the Gatorskin was a pain in the a$$ to get back on; but, other than that, it is a beautiful morning for a pedal into work."
Gopher Biker replied to JeffB (7+ miles)'s discussion 'Yearly goals. Do you set them? How are you doing?'"I'll go over 4400 miles on the commute home tonight, my goal at the beginning of the year was 5000 so I think I'll be a bit short by year's end. Still not bad for an old man of 55."
