Here you go.

After 13 years, Green Machine Cycles is closing its doors. We lost our lease after Dollop coffee next door sweet-talked the landlord into renting them our space to use as an overflow dining room. Pretty shady and misguided, as their existing tables are rarely full.

Anyway, everything is on sale from 30%-75% off through the end of next week and maybe spilling over a little into the following.
Thanks so much for your patronage and support over the years.

A Green Machine Cycles post on Facebook from Wednesday, August 5th at 3:36pm.

I always liked this quote from C.S. Lewis.

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms.

Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

Not sure if this is what you need but:

If you'd prefer an AI-free DuckDuckGo Search experience, start your searches on noai.duckduckgo.com instead of on duckduckgo.com. Searching on noai.duckduckgo.com works the same as search on duckduckgo.com, except all AI features are turned off and AI-generated images are filtered out of results by default.
