FWIW I have a MSE in mathematical modeling from that snooty place and worked as a P&C actuary for a few years.

While doing some real miles yesterday, saw a group ride pass in opposite direction
2 tandems and 6 others, all in tight drafting formation
people just don't get it still.
In other news, I felt smooth, but was still slow

I’m guessing they went to FL for the winter right after and haven’t returned.

Hurtful. Really hurtful.
No more rides with you. You have been removed from my friends list and I've placed you on ignore.

abshipp Our tornado warning sirens are going off right now. A tornado has been spotted about 5-8 miles away, probably just skirt north of us, hopefully. We can hear crap banging around outside from the winds. We're hunkered down in the basement, of course.

If it weren't for the fact I used to work near one I wouldn't be familiar either. The Hudson Valley is the boonies, there's not enough population density to support the cool stores like Apple, Costco, Trader Joes, Whole Paycheck, etc. And you'd use up all the savings in fuel trying to get to the closest one.
Sad.
Sad.

Judging by what I read here and my own observations of people's behavior in my part of the world, the corona virus pandemic is likely to become a much worst pandemic due to the cavalier attitude toward the threat. I can understand the mistrust in leadership but I don't understand the mistrust of science. I have a partial theory that watching TV makes people stupid so maybe that's it. In any case, maintaining social distancing would help reduce the spread of infection but for an old guy like myself I'm going to a more austere level of distancing due to the increased threat to my age group. If I still owned a sailboat I would embark on a solo round the word voyage.
