Not that it matters, but I looked up the June price.

Today’s ride was cold enough that I only had one bottle of water for the whole ride, about 50 miles. I hope Velo Vol approves.

talking to yourself?
I did the Atl-PA trip 40-50 times from 2011-2018. I did stop in Knoxville some but it is only 1/3 of the way there and guarantees a second stop which I try to avoid. Plus, a strange fella lurks in the Brown Squirrel area and I try to avoid that.
You're welcome to visit the God fearing, peace loving people of Georgia any time. I can even act as a host. When you get down here just ask for "Doug from Marietta" or keep your eye out for an awesome shovel.

I don't know how/why you go all that way and only stop once. Even with my miserly water-sipping, I've got to make stops.

I mean heck, my ancestors immigrated. It’s just been 355 years.

And yes, technically everyone outside of the Northern Africa/ Middle East region is an immigrant, in the sense that there are no wild horses in America (only feral escaped domesticated ones). Humans are not native to the Americas, full stop.

My Patriots' were flat all season, but still were on level with the rest of the league. We're super spoiled here in New England, but still have had a pleasant run so far. We need to see what goes on in our off season.
To the haters, enjoy yourselves, but be honest, you would trade what you have for a team like the Patriots.

The Cowboys drew a lot of hate too back in their heyday, but other than for that simpleton Jones the prevailing attitudes amongst the players were never nasty IMO. And there was no cheating. Partying, yes, but no cheating.

Speaking for myself and others I know, it's not so much the team's success but the prevailing attitudes that people hate. Belechick has a real nasty attitude when he's winning, not so much now. I used to admire Brady for his humility but then his attitude soured also with the continued success. And Kraft just exudes the kind of arrogance typical of the filthy rich. And then there was the cheating. And you wonder why the hate?
