Addiction LXXII

Notices
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

Stupid Cubs tied it at 1 in the 8th. Going to be hard for the Rockies to win this game with the Cubs batting last.

Twitter is still pretty bad, though. It's only good for tracking UPRR 844 when it's on the move.

Uggh. And I had picked that neither game would go into extra innings on Yahoo Sports. No $1000 for me

...or want to take it from off to the right somewhere. I bet it doesn't feel too good when someone whacks it at 50 mph. Stuff bike weenies think is keeping them safe.
