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

That’s worth a kind word and 50 bucks or a bottle of decent hooch at the end of the series, but I’m old fashioned.

Yeah, Addiction is moronic, but it's home.

Or were you talking about something else?

Not even. Just commenting on the fact that those Nancy's would beg to have Mr. Jones back after that Jones from Colorado had at them for a night or two. No music. They would get The Americans on the big screen.

@Velo Vol I was in Sharpsville and Hermitage Pennsylvania the last few days. It is still the same. It did not appear that the locals miss you.
In other news, will any #2 seeds fall in the NCAA BB tournament in the first round?

I posted a reply and hit submit. It took me to another thread. So I came back and did it again, and it disappeared altogether.

Are you predicting first round loss for the Vol's???

I've got 'em losing to Cinci in round 2. I dunno why.

Zags over Tarheels 103-101 for the final.

I would fast for a month before I’d drink another prep.

Greetiings from Reykjavík where it’s shmunging and 33º F. On the bus into town, I saw someone riding on a MUP on his way to work at the airport in the dark. Gotta go work and talk at the uni today. Might drive around and hang out some tomorrow.

Modafinil rules.

Have you compared Modafinil to Armodafinil? I suspect they are roughly equivalent since the latter is just the R-isomer.

For some reason, the whole process doesn't bug me. The fast is what it is, but I eat to live, not live to eat. I'm out for the procedure, then life moves on.
