Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Meanwhile, we're under Red Flag warnings and possibly facing Public Safety Power Shutoffs, where they turn off the power to circuits where wires might get knocked down and start The Apocalypse.

I hope, at least, that it was a good Reuben, and not just a perfunctory one.

Vegetable soup with cheddar melted on top, and dressed with yogurt and nutritional yeast. Yogurt, fruit and nuts for dessert.

Not all sharks live in the ocean. There are a few species that are aquarium-compatible size.
