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

It also got cold once the sun went down. 25° and dark for the last few miles. I hope that I can feel my toes sometime soon.

Looked it up. I can take the package to the UPS Store a couple of blocks from my office.

Just ordered some real bags. Now I am seeing Dyson vacuum ads on BF. Like I would stoop so low as to use a Dyson.

Likely so.

We have a Eufy Robovac which does a decent job. It’s the thrifty person’s Roomba.

so 4 students from newport news came back from china last week, and went to school for one day before being quarantined. One of the schools is down the street from my house.
I have to say I am actually worried. I don’t understand what the parents were thinking or maybe I am just over reacting.

The Miele C3 Cat & Dog Complete will set you back a thou, but it was worth it.

The incubation period can be up to 14 days. Yes. What were they thinking?

The Miele dealer up the road has a really nice lit sign on the wall behind the counter. I'm more of a Walmart vacuum guy, but the sign is so nice cuz it makes me think of the bikes.

My reaction would depend on their risk of exposure. If they were simply studying in Beijing that’s one thing. Traveling around Hubei would be another. China is just a huge place and, overall, the risk from simply being there seems low.

The prudent thing to do is to self-quarantine for at least two weeks.

Ahh. So am I, but if they knew it was a race, I'd really be in trouble.

Looks like the abshipp household is going mostly vegan for a while.

Should be interesting. We eat vegetarian 80%-90% of the time, but vegan is a whole other commitment.
