Addiction 2021.1

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

It did look bad locally. Thankfully not too bad on my commute.

All good with me though, chances to cut out early at few and far between.

Salty roads are usually a thing until mid-April, when we start getting decent rain.

And this morning, at maybe 6:30, the preset on the thermostat tried to make it 70 degrees, so I woke up a little sweaty. Ick.

leave the doors open on whatever rooms you can. Do a search for "thermostat" and "heat anticipator". Let me know if you have warm air heat, baseboard, radiators, or whatever it is. There are ways to balance the heat in different rooms. Tell me what the thermostat is like.
