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

Alas. I was looking forward to taking the lanes once all the cars ran out of gas.

That's from December 2019 and the other picture circulating is from a year or two ago too. No cases of such reported this time, according to this a.m.'s WaPo.

The only place I could find gas today was on base at Walter Reed.

Thanks for posting that vid......well not for that video. But the one after it was Jeff Beck demonstrating his version of little wing. And that was worth waiting for that idiot at the gas station to finish converting her car into a fire bomb.

Probably want two people for that operation. One person holds the bag, the other holds the funnel and cuts a corner out of the bag. Gotta make sure your funnel is capable of holding the filler tube flap open, something like this oughtta do

Phone call of the day:

"Hi, I had a bad allergic reaction with all over body hives and throat closing, I gave myself an epipen and a benadryl, and it worked ok, but symptoms came back so I did another one. Could the doctor send in a stronger epipen script to the pharmacy??"

"Guys, it's past bed time - what are you doing?"
"Well, mom said..., uh... " my son stammered, "um, well, Maddie wanted to listen to 'Don't Stop Me Now' so I was trying to find it for her," and he turns the laptop around to show me the YouTube video.

You have a daughter named Maddie? Dude. You're in trouble!

Sincerely,
Dad of a Maddie


Also...I see your dilemma.

Yeow! Midair collision in Denver.

If this plane can hold together for a landing, that I-40 bridge can probably handle daily traffic for a few more years
