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

OTOH, BITD at Genentech, we'd do offsite Research Department meetings down at Asilomar that went a couple days, and were actually a lot of fun, and not just the parts where we all got drunk and danced.

UPS tells me the Arabesque crank I need was delivered, and Ebay tells me the 'small hook wrench' I need for the headset was delivered. This should be the last things I need for the new Lotus. I foresee an evening in the garage.....

nothing special. I think it is a gradual benefit that will take time. The cumulative effect will hopefully make a difference. I have heard a lot of positive results since I became aware of it. Time will tell.

Mower returned from the repair shop this morning. Mowed a lawn. Then spent several hours at the VW dealer. Mowed 3/4 of a lawn, when I got back. Then spent the evening with Mrs. rjones28 at a fund-raising event.
