Paved roads became widespread when bicycles became popular.

Coincidence? I think not.

Just got invited to Del Frico's for dinner tomorrow. I am leaning towards rack of lamb.

Across the street there is an apartment building. It has a small fenced in yard. Currently there are three dogs running around in it like they are possessed.

Dogs. SMH.

Maine Coon. They can often appear larger because of their bushy coats, but 35 lbs. is big. My understanding is that they are pretty chill. Still, I would not want to piss it off.

Got out for a couple of hours in the dirt yesterday. This is the first time I've been on a bike twice in a week in a while. I'm definitely not going to set any PRs with my current levels of fitness and fatness, but it was good to be outside enjoying a warm afternoon.

Loosen up a little. Didn't you ever have fun in the dirt as a kid? I always liked being out there and had years of fun on dirt bikes. Here is a (reversed) pic from about 1982 or so.

Nope. If that map were accurate, much of the Sun Belt would be Can't Buckle My Belt.

Yeah, claws are claws. Chill or not. I love cats but that ones big enough to feed eat a family of four.

I was serially disappointed in that cereal as a yute. I don't know why I kept trying it.

What does that have to do with God having narrow-minded cycling preferences?

New Bike day!!!!

Was thrown in the trash. Brakes work well, shifting needs some work. Shocks feel like they have some life left. Needs a seat post clamp but otherwise it’s in pretty good shape.

Wish it was a little bigger, but it will fit the wife well.

I forget if I mentioned it here, but I am celebrating "Movember" by not shaving (at least under my mask) and (of course) making a donation to a men's health charity.

However, mrs datlas is not especially pleased with this and complains when I try to snuggle, it feels like kissing a cactus. So I do believe the goatee will be gone on/about 12/1.

Not really. And even if I did, I outgrew it. You don't see me having eraser fights with my friends anymore.
