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

You're quitting because your bike is wet?

Yesterday I heard the chief foreign correspondent for CNN, who was being interviewed by Terry Gross, say she felt she needed a "coat of arms" for her dealings with the Taliban. That's a new one for me. I still haven't gotten over the rampant misuse of "in waiting." Puke, barf.

Presumably a suit of armor. Coat of armor? Might have been an involuntary brain fart substitution, now that I think about it
