No narration.
This will surprise most of you, but I'm old enough to remember the era when people invited other people over, fired up the slide projector, and told tales of their family expeditions. Did you ride to work wearing a suit? |

This is insane. Similar across the world I believe. I hope this variant IS weaker.

They all look the same. Is that because of stringent regulation or convergent evolution?

Don't make it longer, Mind you, when he went in for hernia surgery, he had a similar note taped to him -Don't make it stronger. Just fix it so I can pith A fellow named Smith with a hernia, Said to his doctor, "Goldurn ya! While fixing my middle, Please do not fiddle With matters that do not concern ya!" |

Evidence from South Africa points to it being so.

This is what we’re racing: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...328b9eb45.jpeg It’s got a carbon rig, molded sails, and a modern keel, but the rest was designed in the 20s |

How many until the finish? |

Some of both, mainly the latter. They are pretty optimized, like diamond-frame bicycles, but that’s a picture of the go-fast class start. The slower, amateur-sailed boats are much more diverse and some are a century old.

That was actually written about Daly City, a suburb just South of SF, where, yes, there are dozens, maybe hundreds of little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same.

Now what?

There's fireworks going off, and kids yelling in a nearby yard like it's July 4.
Get inside people, it's winter out. |

Compare it to a top end custom bike with endurance geometry and eyelets for stuff. It was custom built in cold-molded wood for a very wealthy guy who wanted traditional beauty, speed, and comfort. It’s absolutely stunning up close and has all the creature comforts. The second owner cruises and races it in New England and is trying to get us to do a transatlantic race with him so he can sail in Europe for a year or so. |
Was supposed to spend a nice quiet NYE with the wife and kids. Unfortunately their mom found out mid day yesterday they’d been exposed at a Christmas gathering she brought them to, so we spent the night isolated from each other in masks instead. Happy ******g new year.
