I wouldn't mind getting rid of the saddle bag, but it's not unusual for me to go 80+ miles without stopping - I need pockets for food, phone/wallet, room to stash my vest, etc. Having a saddle bag just means more room for that other stuff and less remember when I head out the door.
Plus, I have a pretty sweet saddle bag (well, roll, technically).

I also have a saddlebag for each bike. Long valve, short valve, extra long valve. Arundel is pretty sweet though not nearly as swish as the one WhyFi has.

Saw something similar while riding to Brooklyn one year. Guy in N. Jersey hit a bridge on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. Destroyed the top of the rental truck. IIRC, insurance doesn't cover top damage.
A few years ago in Philly some moron hit an abandoned overhead rail bridge and then drove for several miles through city streets with the peeled back top of the semi trailer dragging behind him. IIRC, some early morning jogger or dog walker called the police, who finally stopped him. I couldn't believe it when I saw the story on the morning news.

I was playing around on the computer yesterday evening while the cat was making a ruckus downstairs. Went to the top of the stairs and saw he had deposited a mouse on the small rug at the bottom of the stairs. The thing didn't looked freshly killed. Then I remembered hearing noises downstairs at around 4 a.m. yesterday and thinking he was mousing. My guess is that he killed it then and this was follow up play. I'll spare you the photo.

So, aside from simply liking to work out and compete, the main reason I have been a lifelong endurance sports geek is to treat pretty significant anxiety and depression, which is a lot worse in the winter. This fall, using the new smart trainer during the week and tracking a.m. heart rate variability, I think I've found a level of training stress that makes the blues go away and should be sustainable through most of a reasonable training cycle.
Makes me more positive about a power measurement system for the road bike, but I'm still ambivalent and sticker shocked. Plus, I might get fit, enter a race, and hurt myself.
