Weird Twitter is just too clogged up with political stuff these days to offer a good selection of traditional offensive humor. We'll get back to that after the election, but for today, the Grab Bag is going to return to its roots - people doing frightening things. Here's a Go-Pro video of Dan Atherton riding the Red Bull Hardline downhill mountain bike course. This one will wake you up better than a defibrillator followed by a triple espresso.
Dick,
Love those daredevils who entertain us with their crazy scary feets. Wishing you a great week ahead. A

Dick- the screaming you heard was mine! Had I been on that bike, the GoPro would have stopped after about 2 seconds. Next time I'll take some Dramamine before watching it. Have a great Sunday.

Well funny you should mention politics. It seems I can't even go to the dog park without one of the other regular visitors bringing up politics. He expressed his feelings for Trump and those that might vote for him.
I just wish the squeaker in Lucky's ball was louder. I kept squeaking the ball to try to drown everything out. Of course Lucky didn't care. He just wants to know who shut off the water at the dog park for the season. He would like to write a protest letter.
