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

I usually don't bother counting on the desktop. A LOT!

Often my phone just shows a smilie which indicates that I have in excess of 100 tabs.

Currently just 92 on the phone. #leanandmean

At work, I start out each project with 8. Sometimes that's what I end with, sometimes it balloons a bit.

Ain’t it a shame? Never understood the vitamin C part.

Well, I need the county assessor, county recorder, google maps, document search by section, scottsdale maps, phoenix utilities maps, county survey points, and one other which isn't coming to me at the moment. I only need phx utilites info for 80% of jobs, and Scottsdale info for maybe 30, but I keep them on my opening lineup anyways.

Oh yes, the Road Information Tool, which I actually use for jurisdiction lines.

I momentarily had the Flood Zone Maps in my opening lineup but I only need those in approx 1% of jobs so far, so I benched 'em.

Maricopa County is one of the fastest growing places in America. Is there enough water to fill the pipes?

You should be mindful of the cautionary tale of other sunbelt metro areas.

My experience exactly before this incident. Thank God for Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen, they’re both very effective at knocking it down, I just wish they lasted longer.

I'm sure that will work itself out. We have bigger fish to fry, street racing for instance:

I don't get much out of one of them as it is. Maybe that can be a second 2020 resolution--create a more vibrant TweetDeck feed.
