Almost time to ride. Windy and cold. My brain is struggling between going and not going. Wish the sun would at least come out.

We're experiencing our first sunny day in a while. It pretty much rained the last 3 or 4 days straight. The one nice thing about that is that the rain melted away a significant amount of the snowbanks.

Madman Across the Water is a great album.
In other news, I am decidedly out of time trial shape.
In yet other news, I had the same "do I stay or do I go" conundrum that trainsnorter had, but I had no excuse, except for wind.

Bummer. Re-upped my Performance Bike account, but it didn't remember my past orders.
Sad.

Just my opinion, and I don't disagree, but I don't think you murder 49 people with an expectation not to suffer for it, witness the fact that so many of those guys kill themselves or put up a suicidal fight. It's the entitled white collar grifters, professional liars, and all the other sociopaths whose social status protects them, whom I'd like to see serve harder and longer. Seems to me, that's where deterrence ought to work best.

I think "grifter" is increasing in frequency, perhaps for obvious reasons, which is probably why it flowed off my pen, so to speak. "Grift" as a noun, I had never heard until recently, but it stands to reason that it would exist. I probably heard some millennial use it on a podcast.
indeed.

indeed.I've only heard grift with "the" before it.
"You're on the grift, aren't ya? What angle you working?"

Meanwhile ….
I dropped a hearing aid on the floor. Bailey thought it was food. I just got it in time. On a walk he was going to eat a plastic knife. Fortunately is was slippery and I pulled it out of his mouth sideways. It was near food on the ground, It must have smelled good.

Huh. Going through the Instagram feed and I see that my favorite MTBer (Kate Courtney 
) is buddies with Reggie Miller. I never would have guessed that Reggie was a cyclist, but looking through his IG feed, he seems to be at least a semi-serious pretty damn keen, with road, MTB, possibly gravel/CX bikes in the collection.
I *hated* Reggie as a player, but he's really grown on me since, so this is pretty cool.

Interesting. Reggie Miller was pretty dang good, and just continued to get the job done, year after year. You didn't like him because he was on a rival team? Or?
