When I worked at Newsweek, we had a private bike messenger named Cal. Word in the office was he packed a Colt 1911 in his backpack because New York was one dangerous burgh in those days. I don't think he ever was compelled to use it.

Makes perfect sense. I remember reading about that long stretch of bicycle messenger killings. |

Yes, if that was in the early 1980s.

Sorry, I was just making that up. I don’t remember ever reading about a string of bicycle messenger killings. |

This thread was about me - soundhole cafe private messenger
Now you're talking about bikes - messengers....in cities
Most of these forumites are incredibly senior with your little different memories
Most of these little threads or can be tangential - oranges or tangerines or "peachy words"
