Yeah, other people said that, too. Plus, he's 5'7". I know, Barry Sanders was awesome @ 5'9". We'll see but last night was fun to see, especially that touchdown when he darted left and right. He might be the real deal.

Wow. 5'7"??? Maybe I shoulda taken up football

The best of 9/11s to everyone.

Wow, they look kinda small when you put a couple of Sunfish in front of the camera...

Turned out that I forgot to leave money for the cat sitter, so I rode home and then back to the station.

I have a couple of reads on my Kindle.

I remember our president coming around telling us all to leave our building in Philadelphia. I took a few minutes to finish up something and he came around again and told me to stop immediately and leave. I started to walk home and realized that there would be no way to evacuate our business district. Traffic was at a standstill. It was taking people 20 min. or more to get one block. Passed a bus and then stopped into a bar a couple of blocks up. Bus finally passed the bar a good while later.

Well, the folks in charge there may honestly believe they’re preventing infections that way, but I think it’s over the top.

What wheels do you have that you might part with?

And what does the N-1, N+1 mean?

Agree. It's all about the mask. Disinfection theater makes people feel better but likely does precious little to prevent spread of COVID19.

MoAlpha

The mask, the distance, and the outdoors.

For some reason they moved the on hold books behind the counter. So I went there to ask about my book.

The librarian asked me to present my library card. I put it on the desk.

"Can you move it over here please?"

I guess she didn't want to touch it.

My cubicle is ~50' away from a machine that is currently removing the vast majority of a 4" x 11" x 15" chunk of aluminum.

It is doing so very quickly, and very loudly.

It started yesterday afternoon, and they're on their second piece out of a 10 part run, so everyone gets to enjoy the sound for most of next week as well

Maybe you guys can help me understand something. I am planning a ride for tomorrow that is 80 miles. However, the starting point is about 10 miles from my house, so of course I riding to/from the start for a full century. I suggested this to the other 5 riders who will be joining me and NONE of them are interested. They think 80 is plenty. I don't get it.

abshipp 

Do they regularly do centuries?

I've certainly been in the position where I finished a ride and was very happy to not have another hour and change ahead of me.

indyfabz

It’s a 25% increase in and already long mileage day. Personally, I often get bored after about 85, if not fewer. Maybe you need to turn pro.

Velo Vol 

That's not very big. Why would it take a week to remove it?

datlas 

They have all done 80-100 mile rides this summer. I respect their decision, but given the chance I am always wanting to do more.

MoAlpha

I get tired on long rides. Think I should ask the 41 if there’s something wrong with me?

abshipp 

A week for the full 10 piece production run.

I really hope they're running it on second shift as well so I don't have to listen to it for that long.

abshipp 

Must be because you're a more serious cyclist.

Bah Humbug

Weirdos.

Velo Vol 

Oh, it's carving something out of a block of alumimonium.

I read your post to mean they are physically removing a fixture from the office.

The librarian won't touch my library card and down the road this is happening. SMH
