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

Chocolate does nothing for me. There are all sorts of things you could show instead that might tempt me, but chocolate isn't one of them.

Same here. I pretty much only like sweet candy bars, like Snickers, and chocolate with peanut butter. And even that I can live without.

If I absolutely needed to see a patient (like to remove stitches or staples) I would consider seeing them in my parking lot, I would wear a mask and gloves, do the deed ASAP then retreat back inside.

I don’t do ice cream. I also don’t do cake or cookies and rarely bread except as a delivery mechanism for real food. But put a bag of Cheetohs or Fritos in front of me and I’m on it.

I have gotten fed up with my wired headphones so I joined the 21st century and bought a pair of Bluetooth ones.

I got them off ScamBay. I wonder if I got a good buy?

I haven’t had much luck with the cheap ones. Get staticky when I turn my head.

My newest hearing aids are BT so I no longer need headphones.

There may have been one or two others, but can't have any of them anymore. Sad.

Good patients learn to pull their own stitches out.

A dentist friend of mine also rides a Trek. It's a Speed Concept 9, with 858 wheels.
