I've tried to explain this to some people and I'm just an ******* in their opinion.

I had a friend (?) post to Strava yesterday his 125 mile ride with his buddy, after posting back to back centuries last weekend with the same guy. They delusionally are trying to keep their “race fitness” up.

A professional colleague, one who has been instrumental on a national level of helping to articulate what exactly in an “emergent or urgent” surgery for the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ie so he full well understands everything that’s happening), was bitterly *****ing on Strava about getting dropped from his group ride. Not really dropped but he was POed big time because the people he was meeting up with rolled past him at the meetup and then he spent 90 min trying the catch them but couldn’t. Oy.

I ran into a good friend out yesterday at the car wreck site. He was out with two friends. He’s a very reasonable upstanding citizen, Eagle Scout kind of guy, stepping up to a leadership role in local bike advocacy.

Friend with asthma told me how she had to turn down a small group ride invite yet again yesterday.

I cannot unsee what I’ve seen, or unknow what I know.

So. It affects what I think of all these people. Not that I think they’re stupid but more “can I really respect these peopke’s Inability to make a trivial sacrifice for the greater good?”

It so common though that I think it must be some aspect of the common human psychological makeup that I’m just failing to grasp.

My sister just told me gas is $1 35/gal. In Indianapolis. Is that so across the board?

Did you normally head in this early? You must be just after the doughnut guy.

Normally leave a little before 7, arrive at 7:15. It's my habit. First appointment has typically been 7:45AM but I like to come in early to deal with messages/paperwork etc.

But mostly I’m referring to restaurant French press coffee. The problem I think is that they bring you a pot and just a single cup to drink from and beyond that first cup, you’re drinking coffee that’s been in overly long contact with the grinds. I’m sure if I were to drink properly made French press coffee from properly ground coffee in the Jones kitchen, it would taste way better.
