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.

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?

Seriously, started lactofermenting carrots, changed my life.

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