Another good reason to live in public transport land. Merida traffic is bad, but in a different way. The city is compact, with tiny streets, so it jambs up quickly into gridlock. Being that it's so compact, it's easy to get around on foot. If one must drive, public parking lots abound.

But real estate in West Chester, PA (where I work and the county seat of Chester county) is crazy so that downsize-move is postponed indefinitely.

My wife and I had always planned to move from our suburban 1 acre 4BR3BA 2500SF home to an in-town 3BR1.5BA 1500SF home close to work so we could downsize to 1 car and I could walk/bike to work.

He's referring to a sailing site. I don't think Froome was ever featured there.

I posted a few messages last year when my friend Larry Howard died and there was a thread on him. I'm getting those emails too.

After a day of walking around the fair, I've accepted that I like the idea of fair food more than the reality of fair food. First, the value sucks all the way around - I've always known that, but it's worse than ever, now. Then there's the question of whether or not the stuff is worth the calories, which is almost always a hard "no" for me, these days, too. And let's not forget the indigestion cost - oof. It's often high (I overheard some college age kid, in an "extreme" voiceover voice say "The MN State Fair - punish your toilet!!!" He's got a point, there ).
In the end, I got back home hungry for something substantial, because I didn't have much and a lot of the stuff that I did have was sugar/fat/carbs with some nostalgia value (helllllo, mini donuts).
Also, fair goers are fat. Shocking.

I’ve been having a hard time putting out anywhere close to my normal power numbers the past few days - wondering if I have asymptomatic rona that’s slowing me down.

Dunno about you, but I'm def feeling some fall allergies. Not super overt, most of the time, but it's there, particularly in terms of mildly restricted airways; the kind where you can still breathe, just not as well, so that the need to launch a snot rocket isn't necessarily obvious.

I watched it and that Spaniard did pretty well. That last attack was too much for him, though.

The garage I mentioned would have to have an air conditioned workout room. It would be useless from April to November otherwise. The floor space for cars, bikes, water toys, etc. would not require air or heat, but would have to have a nice finish. All of that would be required because I would likely be sleeping out there if I ever required her to make such a move.

One of my last waterpark experiences, probably 35 years ago, we were there for the full day. Right around noon there was a thunderstorm. We had the place practically to ourselves the rest of the day. Those tall(antique I'm sure) waterslides were my fave. The limit to how many times I could go down was how fast I could get back up the ladder. And now that I think of it, the same thing happened on a canoe trip. We could never figure out where everybody went, but they were gone.
