Week 8 By Sam Wallace LONGMONT’S BICYCLISTS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT?
THEY ARE INCONSIDERATE ROAD HOGS, THEY DON’ T OBEY TRAFFIC RULES, AND THEY ARE WAY TOO SLOW.
AAAH... YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS CAUSE YOU DON’ T KNOW HOW TO RIDE A BIKE!
Week 9 By Sam Wallace WHEN I WAS A KID, MY BIKE MEANT FREEDOM. I RODE TO SUNSET POOL, TO TOWN, EVERYWHERE!
OH! SO YOU WERE ONE OF THOSE RECKLESS, GO ANYWHERE, DEVIANT TYPE OF BIKERS.
NOW, THERE ARE SO MANY TRAFFIC RULES, HELMETS, AND BIKE PATHS, IT’S LIKE ALL OF THE FREEDOM IS GONE.
AS IT SHOULD BE!

Week 17 By Sam Wallace FARMER GIBSON, CHECK OUT MY NEW GPS.
WOW, THAT’S NEAT! UHH... WHATS A GPS?
A GPS IS A Global SHOOT, I CAN TELL YOU THAT STUFF. YOU Positioning System, a ARE A SUGAR BEET, I PLANTED YOU satellite-based navigation system made up AND WATCHED YOU GROW. YOU LIVE of a network of 24 satellites placed into ON THE LA JOLLA FARM IN LONGMONT orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. THE satellites circle the COLOROADO. earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the user’s exact location.
BASICALLY A GPS TELLS YOU WHERE YOU ARE AND HOW YOU GOT THERE.
Week 18 By Sam Wallace SO HARTMAN, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A GPS?
THERE’S ALL SORTS OF STUFF YOU CAN DO WITH A GPS. WE CAN TAKE IT When WE GO camping, AND use it to find OUR campSITE when WE go on a hike SO WE DON’ T GET LOST, OR WE can locate the BEST FISHING spot YEAR AFTER YEAR, PLUS THEY ARE REALLY COOL.
I STILL DON’ T GET IT. I GUESS I’M LOST.
THAT’S JUST IT. A GPS HELPS YOU NOT GET LOST.
Week 19 By Sam Wallace SO THERE ARE A BUNCH OF SATELLITES THAT TRIANGULATE THE POSITION OF THIS GPS THINGY.
YES, HELLO. CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE TO GET THE BEST BURRITO IN LONGMONT? SIMPLE, UH OH! REALLY.
HARTMAN, I THINK I BROKE YOUR GPS, IT DIDN’ T GIVE ME AN ANSWER.
I THINK YOU ARE STILL A LITTLE LOST.
Week 20 By Sam Wallace WHAT THE @#!% ARE YOU DOING WITH A GPS?
