Addiction LXXX

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

There is considerable evidence that it goes back many months before that. And of course it has to be around for a while before anyone can develop a test for someone to be positive for.

Slow night, everyone must be watching Tuesday night Maction on ESPN. Backyard rivalry - University of Akron vs Kent State. Kent State is up 28-21 nearing the half.

I have tasted Japanese whiskey only once that I remember and that was in Japan. I don't remember what kind of whiskey it was but I do recall very clearly that we were seated on the floor in a very special sort of restaurant, courtesy of some drug company, and being served by beautiful ladies who shuffled about on their knees! I wondered if they had knee pads on under their exquisite silks.

He's an idiot. He should have safety cones deployed, first off. Second, if somebody plows into his vehicle it may push into the ladder . . . . . . . . and he will fall down go boom. Vehicle is too close to the ladder, but at least he didn't have to walk far.
