It's not a military coup, per se. Do hope that they transition to the VP or opposition leader soon for a transitional gov't.

3 hours this morning. Started out in the high 20s. When I got to the mountain to do repeats, I was sweating hard. The temps must have jumped 15 degrees by the time I got there. Twenty degrees warmer now.

It was a great morning to be outside. So much better than what I had planned on the trainer: 2, 30mins @ 95%. yuckadoo.

True enough, but the military was seen as strong and honest enough that when the generals told Mubarak it was time to go, he went.

Wasn't Mubarak a military man?

Going out to eat with the wife. Just had two beers for a recovery meal until we go. Will that be OK?

Base 10 math lesson. Interestingly, the simple formula that provided the key to that game is consistent beyond just 2 digits. And why not? Math doesn't lie.

There's no quitting in the 33. Speaking of which, I'm wondering what would have happened if I initially posted the link in the 41?* Or the mnt bike forum!? *

*Clearly a provocative low blow. My apologies.

Unless it's statistics.

Actually, scratch that. People lie.

Ordered a Thompson seatpost and stem and a few other consumables for the bike. Trying a shorter reach. May try a shallow bar later.

Your stems and seatposts are consumables? Dang!

(And I resisted being pedantic about the spelling error.)

I used to help art school students with their anatomy homework... paid better than than my current job by an hourly calculation... just not by volume.
(I'll leave at least one joke there for the taking)
