I knew a woman on the local racing scene whom I thought was a bit of a lightweight for various reasons. That is, until she crewed on my friend’s Merit 25 on a 120 nm race in 20-25 on the nose the whole way. Story is she never left the rail. Later, she circumnavigated in a tiny boat with some guy.

There is German woman in the bike club here, married to a former US soldier. On one ride we happen to be riding together when I hollered out bathroom break and stepped into the woods 'till out of sight of the road. When we got going again she said when European men have to pee, they stop and pee and this is evidently normal. She did not say what ladies do in a similar situation.

Was riding country roads a few weeks ago, and one of the guys needed to pee. He stopped at what looked to be a wooded fence line, and started to go. Just as he was about to whip it out, the “lady of the house” showed up on the other side of the fence and asked if she could help him. Found it rather funny as there wasn’t a house or building within about 500 yards.

Occasionally, I trade in electronics online to get money for something new. Often, the quoted offer is downgraded when they inspect your device. They always seem to have a reason. It’s part of the game.
Last Monday, I sent an iMac to Apple and got a notice yesterday that my offer had been revised because the condition of my iMac was different than I had described which I expected would happen. I go to their site and saw that they had upped the offer by $50 after inspection. I never expected that. It’s never happened before.

It's a balmy 28° so I decided to uncork my longest ride of the year - almost 25 miles!
Also, I haven't looked, but any of yous below me on the leaderboard need to be hearing SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! ringing in your ears.

After my accident, my auto insurance carrier raised my premium substantially. I was furious. I had some harsh words with my local office, things were adjusted. Life goes on. But I was still angry about it.
So when this P.i.p thing came about I was sure I was in for it. I didn't want to go with lower coverage. My accident proved to me I would have been bankrupt had it not been for the coverage I had.
The new law goes into effect next billing cycle. And my insurance is going down $500.00 a year! You coulda knocked me over with a feather!

I really dislike the Saints. Yet I can't cheer for the Bears. What to do, what to do?

I went did a winter cycling activity today, too.
It did not look anything like that. In other news, there's something wrong with my bike. I was going ~2 mph slower than I should have been for the effort. Also, noises.

I don't care if they are. They don't occupy area airtime for a dumb team.

Ikr! Here in mi. There was a recent change in auto insurance laws pertaining to pip. I was sure I was getting screwed.
After my accident, my auto insurance carrier raised my premium substantially. I was furious. I had some harsh words with my local office, things were adjusted. Life goes on. But I was still angry about it.
So when this P.i.p thing came about I was sure I was in for it. I didn't want to go with lower coverage. My accident proved to me I would have been bankrupt had it not been for the coverage I had.

Nice day today, if a little cloudy. Did a mostly Z1-2 ride of 50 miles. One spot on the ride felt really 'picture-squee', as we say in my family.
The vegetation is doing it's annual mad rush to sprout, grow, have sex, and die before it dries out again.

Mrs datlas and I went on a hike this afternoon. Halfway through our walk, a couple came by walking in the opposite direction. I gave a friendly hi and waved. The wife smiled and waved, but the husband gave us a dirty look and said "Vietnam is THAT way" and pointed in a direction off the path.
I ignored them, but part of me wanted to get in his face like Robert DeNiro in Taxi driver...."you talking to ME?" style.
Probably best that I did not do that, but people full of hate need to keep it to themselves and/or go back under the rock they came from.
p.s. mrs datlas is Korean, in case people don't know
