They were both on the home screen but she was still staring at them. My guess is that she was desperately hoping for a text from her BFF. A while later I saw her walking down the street. She still had one of the phones in her hand facing up towards her.

People are very important, and very weird.

I noticed my RD was getting finicky on Sunday's ride, so last night I replaced the cable. Only ONE strand of the shifter cable had broken, but I suppose that was just enough to cause some friction in the action. Luckily it came out easily and new cable threaded easily, I have done this so often I have it down to a science.

Once upon a time in my yute, I worked at a tire shop, and we charged $4 to plug a tyre. Of course we only got paid $3.45 an hour.

I couldn't help but laugh - an LBS just posted to IG about one of their regular group rides. First slide: meeting time and location. Second slide: distance, 15 miles. Third slide: "You guessed it! Ice cream! "
I suppose that there's plenty of reasons to do a ride like this, like the social aspect, I guess, but rewarding yourself with a stop at an ice cream shop after a short effort seems... odd.

Yesterday I was complaining to mrs datlas about the frequent cable failure, and how I really would love to solve the problem with a Red eTap AXS 12 speed drivetrain.
She seemed slightly interested, and asked how much that "solution" would cost. I told her, and her answer would not pass the censor. Suffice it to say I will be running 6700 for the foreseeable future.

When he first appeared an on-line article said he looks like a meth head from Kensington. There was a fundraiser to raise money to have him euthanized. It was all in good fun as the money was actually going to some charity fund set up my the late owner of the Flyers.

I knew this one was unpluggable when I saw it. It was a piece of angle iron that cut a half inch by half inch L-shaped hole. I figured no way it could be plugged.

The United Way building is directly across from my office window. There is a stage on the roof. On that stage is a man wearing red clothing (possibly a unitard) and white shoes doing modern dance moves. Another person is siting on their butt on the roof watching.
