Agree on both matters.

My mother, who was deeply religious, used to use that term.

It's not steep (at least not on the south end), but currently my climbing is kaput. #Aneamia

But I totoally understand weird tastes; I have such an aversion to cucumber that smelling it turns my stomach.

If you're talking about the Form (CTL (Fitness) - ATL (Fatigue)) chart, you will be until you have recorded enough CTL to lower the difference. That takes a while because, according to the conventional model, CTL is averaged, with an exponential decay, over 42 days and ATL over 7. I just started recording in October 2019, but my CTL data weren't any good until mid-November.

That always bothered me as a child. "Have some rhubarb, it's great! Oh, by the way, don't eat the leaves, you'll die." Say, what?!?!

It never got hot today, so I went out. And made it several hundred meters beyond yesterday's endpoint. Who's ever heard of an rd disintegrating out on the road? I found all but one washer, and had to make the call of shame. There might be a Dr. Who type line I am unable to go beyond.

Interesting. When I first heard about it as a little kid I was hostile to it and wanted to know why it wasn’t just a strawberry pie. My dear grandmother more or less made me eat some and I was like “oh, that’s really good”. Rhubarb, at least to me, sounds more like rutabaga than something that goes in a dessert pie.
But I totoally understand weird tastes; I have such an aversion to cucumber that smelling it turns my stomach.

I bought a bench grinder today--the silver lining to the call of shame. I'd been trying to figure out how to carry it on a bike. Even a town bike. Last evening, I came close to tearing up the new finger, by using a wire brush on a drill. And no vise. Better living through fixed machines

Not real fond of rhubarb or cucumber. Rhubarb, I will eat in a cobbler, especially adulterated with apples or berries. Cucumber, I will eat sliced thin on a meat sandwich or canapé, in a mediterranean salad, or stuffed in a pita as a garnish with something. We also have a Szechuan cookbook somewhere with a kick-ass recipe for Chinese cucumber and ground pork. Cucumber should always be seeded and the dryer, "English" variety is to be preferred. Pickles? Bring 'em on.
