Addiction 2021.3

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

I got soaked on yesterday's ride and never left my garage - I ended up Zwifting, because time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping...into the future.

Auto accident activity this afternoon. A guy ignored the stop sign and pulled out in front of me. He did stop (not hit and run), and his car has insurance, supposedly. But he's from Honduras, apparently, and he doesn't have a license.

The guy looked in his 20s. There were three other guys in the car and apparently none of them have a license. He was going to have to wait for someone with a license to come drive his car away.

Hey, you know what the difference is between 'Hondas' and 'Honduras'?

You are.

(When I played football, the coach like to put up little inspirational things, like "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing". One of them, "The difference between Champ and Chump is YOU!" always made me think, "The difference between Champ and Chimp is I!!")

You mean the way people argue bad points about irrelevant crap for page after page, growing more and more obscure and silly? Or the fact that half the time when you click a link it times out?
