Addiction LXXIX

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

Are you the sacred king size candy bar house!? I’ve heard rumors that these exist, but never set my eyes on them.

Not quite that good, but we give out little bags with 8-10 morsels, which include mini candybars, Smarties, Twizzlers, Swedish Fish and other delightful little treats

Pretty kitty. I like those cabinets. And that Sub-Zero. Floors, not so much.

I'm a 'holes fan, and that was a pathetic effort by the offense, particularly the QB. Wasted a great effort by the defense.

Nyet. Colonoscopies and/or cancer are the price you pay for too much red meat.

Pork chops are my preference, I just think $15 for a scrawny organic chicken like Mrs BD prefers is a bit too much. She calls regular chicken "kill-you" chicken, not particularly encouraging coming from a nutritionist. And fuggedabout wild caught salmon, that's like $25/lb or more on the east coast.

Sooner or later it was inevitable. Still waiting for my royalty checks to start rolling in.

Had another fantastic ride. This weekend’s weather has been perfect for cycling. I wish I could take some extra and bottle it up to be used later. If I Could Put Time In a Bottle...
