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

Perhaps the worst one is blue cheese. Although I've not had it in many years, I still associate it with the urge to vomit.

The salad itself sounded fine, though if egg was an option I would not have ordered it.

Reminds me: A week ago when at the music festival we ate at the school cafeteria.

It had basic, straightforward menus, as you would expect. Except the garden salad had berries in it.

Had to cancel my shoe order. I was checking the tracking (I don't know why, I only ordered them yesterday) and realized I ordered a size 11 in a men's shoe. Nope, that's not gonna fit. Now instead of Friday, the hopefully correctly sized shoes won't be here until next Tuesday. Grrr.

I have never walked out of a liquor store empty-handed.
