There are TWO smartphone factories in China. One makes iPhones and one makes Android phones. Get it??

Oxford. “Backdoor” cold front just hit after dinner, with quite a bit of wind out of the East.

I never even heard of that park. Isn't he still alive? And are we talking about the same Curt Gowdy, the sports announcer?

Drove the little lady to night school and hit the first bar I saw.
They serve 12.9% stout by the pint. I better pace myself.

Grrr. My friend is planning on attempting his first century this Sat and said that I'd be welcome to join, but I already have a 100-miler scheduled with the club on Sunday. I'm tempted, and I'm sure that the pace on Sat would be pretty easy, but it would still be 100 miles and 7+ hours in the saddle, which would probably make Sun pretty hurty.

I think that if it were the other way around, group cent on Sat, n00b cent on Sun, I'd probably do it... though I'd still have the Spousal Acceptance Factor to deal with, which would not be insignificant.

You know, just to see if the door is open, I'm going to mention the n00b cent attempt (in passing) to my wife and see what her reaction is.

BTW, I have been in friendly contact with our dearly departed Seeds, and he reassures me he did not go away angry, he just went away. BF was apparently a bit too much of a distraction from other more important issues in his life. I told him I would let the gang know he is ok.

I heard a tornado came close to Glendo during the 4th weekend, two weeks after we were there, and destroyed everything. Hail tore holes into RVs, blasted out windshields.

For me, coming back is motivating, which makes leaving in a huff counterproductive. I want to hit next season running, which means I can't pork up this winter. Listening to people riding and racing, and folks like LAJ and HP that are racing at a high level, is motivating to me. I can find a million excuses over the winter. I want to lose weight instead of gaining weight. LAJ is preparing beet milkshakes.

All done. Enjoying a lunch including green, leafy vegetables. It’s been raining off and on since 3 am. Going to skip the abandoned turnpike ride, get a room in Bedford, PA (points for knowing the cycling connection) and drive home early tomorrow morning.
