You’re reading my mind. Our weather in Indiana is a bit chilly right now. But every time I pull in the garage my jaw drops!! Can’t wait for spring!

I agree, it's a bad habit that some (on line) writers have and it's difficult for them to break. It's often hard to tell if it's on purpose or as an attempt to be noticed.
And then there's the lack of punctuation, whick makes difficult reading, and spell checking too.

Spell checking?
Honestly, I'm not sure why anyone is offended by someone using all caps. I know this is a "thing" for a lot of people - presumably because of perceived "rudeness" or a breach of on-line etiquette.
Really?? A minor thing, considering the on-line garbage/language/opinions/verbal attacks and other crap I see with great regularity.
Easy enough to ignore if you feel someone is "shouting" at you, IMHO...

It's simply harder to read. Nothing more and nothing less. Like a 4 paragraph ride report without punctuation or even paragraph spacing. It becomes a blob of stuff that's easier to skip than bother with. I assume the time spent posting is intended to be read too, so there's that.

I'm in the middle of the State and the weather can vary but my forecast is saying above 50 (which is my personal cutoff for choosing to ride) for the beginning of next week. I just wish there was a good rain to wash away the salt. I've learned the hard way that rust never sleeps!

Plus over-punctuation. Somebody ought to charge per comma.

Clearly, people offended by all caps were never mainframe programmers
