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

They roast their own beans and make their own pastries. Great news for my taste buds. Not great news for my waist or my wallet.

Sailing acquaintance was wrong on the internet about a classic bike he saw and photographed in France and I went mildly BF on him. He was gracious and took it in stride. If it had been a boat, it would have been par for the course, but I should just have made a positive comment and let it go.

Yes there are options. I see that now. I logged out last evening and was automatically logged in this morning. I'm no longer addicted and when it is finally solved I will go on my merry way. But before, before I thought I was deleted, I was addicted

There was a message posted the other day informing members that they will get an email next week requiring a password change. Maybe you can delete your email address, not be able to change your password and lose access as a result.

Blepharoplasty I think refers to both uppers and lowers. I had the lowers done a couple of months ago. Medicare paid for almost all of it. The uppers needed some excess tissue removed which wasn’t covered.

Yes. All is well for the RPParker clan. So far at least. Our neighborhoods are mostly high and dry. Thanks.

I had a really bad pollen allergy starting before I could talk. Had to take eye drops. By the time I was 7 or 8 I was giving them to myself.
