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 have only the internet to rely upon. We're out of range for cable, even if we thought we might want such. Personally, I would use it only for sports.

Cycling is a political wedge issue in Mexico?

I don't understand crypto enough to even take a flyer on it.

I did do a fair amount of betting on the cannabis stocks when they were hot, and did pretty well. That is something that I have no trouble understanding even though I don't partake.

Gotcha.

Had visions of spending an evening with the University of Tennessee concert band, and lost my marbles for a minute.

I am surprised the Bulls took one from the Bucks.
Embid had only 3 points in the first half. He ended up with 33. Harden had a good game even though he scored only 19.

Hearing some good band music might help you pull yourself back together. I wonder what's going to be in the programme???

Sounds like a Knox county issue to me. Sad.

The last cheesecake I had was in January 2022, and it was very good.

I can't remember ever having a bad cheesecake.

I purchased a chocolate cheesecake for Easter desert. I made it through about half of the slice I tried to eat. I don't think I've ever said this before, but that was too much chocolate. It was good but...soooo much!

This is why you get a vanilla/chocolate mix.

Cheesecake, in my experience, is much like pizza and intercourse - even when it's not that great, it's still pretty good.
