Then, yesterday, some a**hole stole my bike. It was locked with a super thick, heavy duty cable... The theif must have used a huge boltcutter. The bike was in a major...

Today I watched a group of people finish a project. All the Blacks went one way, the Asians went another way, same for a few Whites. Why group by race? What's up with that?
