Phooey. That statin-grapefruit thing is true, but over-blown. Modest amounts are fine. I would not drink it by the quart but a modest serving should be safe. You need a better excuse.

Stop giving away dangerous secrets. Next thing you'll tell 'em is they can drink a little black coffee on the morning before surgery!

Dang. It takes someone in the industry to point out the obvious. I can handle that.

I was in Duluth the other week - Superior was a little high, but not absurdly so. There's a peninsula/island a little south of Split Rock lighthouse - this year, as with last year, the land bridge was under a couple feet of water. That puts it a few feet higher than six years ago, when we could get the dog and a toddler across.

I have (had) a huge raspberry patch out in the far backyard. It’s an area about 40 x 40 feet. A few years ago it got taken over by an aggressive invasive vine and I have been waging war with it every year since. I just cleared about 20% of the area but I feel I may have to throw in the towel and resign myself to buying raspberries at Wegmans.
If you see this in your garden please kill it ASAP.

All six road bikes are now complete. Some of them are sharing wheels, however. Six is a big change from four. Like three dogs instead of two. The two Treks are hands down the most sublime to ride. I have hubs and rims and spokes around, though I don't know if the spokes are the correct length. I hope some of them are. Interestingly the 24 inch Trek 930 has a 60 cm frame and the 24 inch 414 has a 61 cm frame. The top tubes are the same.

Actually I was kidding about not liking it. After all Texas grapefruit is sublime. I love grapefruit. But last time I tried it, I came down with severe leg cramps. Took a couple of days for them to go away. Haven’t had any since. Was it the culprit? Not worth trying to find out.
