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

Hope that’s not a bad omen.
Can you Strava a train ride? Safe travels.

Sadly, no. I actually LIKE the telemedicine but seems the patients want to come in. It's about 75% office 25% telemedicine, and next week's schedule looks like 85/15.

I stopped by the library yesterday. A sign says they adopted the Mrs. datlas rule: returned books sit in quarantine for 72 hours before they are processed.

I like the announcing team, but thought Collingsworth was going out on a thin branch stating several times in the first quarter that he liked the Texans new defense scheme. Not so much after 34 points, 3 TDs by Mahomes, and above rookies first 100+ yard ground game.

The face you make when you show up way early for your train only to realize it departs an hour later than you thought it did.
