Addiction LXXIX

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

If it were not for COVID19 we would be empty nesters and plotting a move to Andalucía.

That’s now deferred, indefinitely.

Today was the coolest day in a while, only a high of 95 where we rode to. It was nice and mostly quiet 2 lane road for most of it. One guy honked and flipped us off as he was driving the other way. I waved and yelled "Hi" as loud as I could.
Later when we got back into town we were waiting in a left turn lane and a guy in a pick up going the other direction yelled "Buy a car". Don't know that I've heard that one before.

Just watched the Mavericks beat the Clippers in a hard fought overtime game. Doncic hit a deep 3 pointer at the buzzer for the win. Some of these games are really good but the virtual fan thing is weird.

Fracking has nothing to do with this issue. Datlas lives near Philly. No fracking anywhere close. Grind your axe someplace else, like P & R.

We neighbors protested against the developer for these and other reasons but the township commissioners said since the land is zoned residential, they pretty much had to approve the development plan.

There are 37 houses and they all got sold quickly. There is HUGE housing demand in our area.
The township will probably just start spraying once enough of the new homeowners complain.

Sorry, just taking an educated guess...after seeing some photos that looked similar at an area where there was fracking. I'm definitely not an environmental engineer. Just a retired Postal Worker.

Any cycling content? (Farrah apparently liked French bikes. Seen here with a Moto, and in another pic with a Peugeot.)

Only bike was a motor one, so it doesn't count. Hit by a relatively unknown Tommy Lee Jones.
