I ride my bike everywhere and have a fairly cheap helmet.

I just ordered a giro chronicle helmet based on your recommendation :) happy to know my gray matter is more protected now.

I just found this on pleasedontpetme.com (I have no idea how trustworthy this source is)

Myth: Service dogs are euthanized when they can no longer work. Fact: When a service dog is no longer able to work, due to a health problem or age, the dog is retired by his or her handler. Upon retiring a service dog, the handler has various options. If the handler can keep him or her, the dog will assume the role of a pet. If the handler obtained the dog from a program and cannot keep the retired service dog, he or she will usually have the option to give the dog to a friend or return the dog to the program. If the dog is returned to the program, the individual or family who raised the dog as a puppy is typically given first choice to take the dog back. Otherwise, the program will adopt the dog out to a carefully screened individual or family to be a pet.

Seriously, started lactofermenting carrots, changed my life.

We are one of the few organizations that allows the dog to continue living with his family.

Is this true? I thought most dogs are retired back to the families. Don't they become a member of the family while in service? Why would they ever be taken once retired?

Should you really pull out shrapnel when you're in shock? Or wait until a professional can do it for you?
