Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

For those who missed it, the popular game “corn hole” is filtered when made one word because it’s slang for anus.

I go straight through an intersection like this by the office and I hesitate a bit when there's someone on the other side.

You can subvert the censor but at your own risk. Don’t ask how I know.

You’re a driver? Who knew?

I would far rather be an hour or two early than fret over the time. My lovely wife does not agree. My dad taught me.

I have wondered about this ever since I learned of the game. It is played by the extremely conservative, and on church grounds even.

Interestingly, the game by that name is relatively recent (apparently just in the past 30-50 years) while the slang expression is quite older (from the early 1900’s).

Clearly checking traffic to the right. And on that note, this is my biggest irritant with shopping at Costco. Pushing the cart in one direction while gazing in another.
In regard to the traffic, the MO here in the village is to look hard and long in one direction, pull into the intersection, and then and only then, glance the other way. Or if turning right, don’t glance at all. When on the bike I like to come up right behind or beside them and see their shocked faces upon realizing there was someone coming.
One of these days I will mount the Air Zound. And then I will see some shocked faces. And maybe even some crashes. One must be careful with revenge.
I passed a woman on a moto a week or so ago, and both of her mirrors pointed at her face. Vanity mirrors

Correct. Pictures are also not censored, hence the famous/infamous horse (or was it a donkey??) pic from about 10 years ago.

Well back then, before paper was in common use, it was the implement of choice

That said, there is no place I would rather be.

Just used Gorilla Tape to replace a hopelessly rolled rim strip which caused a flat on the commuter. Should work…

Please dont outsmart the censor. That is a very expensive censor and every time one of you guys outsmart it it makes someone at the home office feel bad. We dont wanna do that. So dont cleverly disguise bad words.

Ok I will do my best. I wish management could improve the censor, maybe an AI plug-in could help?

ps “Bad” words likely lie in the realm of intent and context
