So, what was the "Thing" that came on 1/23?

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

So, what was the "Thing" that came on 1/23?

Well, it was an "internal memo" after all, so I can see how the Trekkies would get a little stiffie. Kind of an anti-climax for the rest of the world, though.

Looks like it just changed over to sleet here so no more accumulation...

Time to shovel (or as I try and convince myself "core workout")...

ooooh. I get it. You're the jackass who always tells friends how stupid they are, right?

I love how personalities come out on the interweb.

Personally I think that's far cooler than another annual time trial frame release which is 0.00001 percent more aero than last year's model.

Cool to see Trek pushing hard for the sustainable resource usage at their offices and such.

It's a core workout for me. My lower back HATES the shoveling. I should get one of them plow shovels. I swear, 23 and already talking like an old man...
