Addiction 2021.2

Notices
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'd live in London. Especially if Mrs. rjones28 had an amazing position.

I feel your pain. I started doing ours again last year when we made some Covid cost cuts. Kind of don't mind now as I just look at it as exercise.

I walked by my son's room and saw that his door was open. I figured I'd pop my head in and say goodnight, but he wasn't there. So I went to my daughter's room, opened the door, and I see the two of them, sitting on the floor in the dark, faces illuminated by a laptop screen between them.

"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.

How the hell am I supposed to get mad at my 9 year old for sneaking in to my 4 year old's room so that they can listen to Queen together?

Will the London position allow her to support you in the manner to which you would like to become accustomed?

I don't know what's up with that. Are you using Firefox? I've thought about complaining to the station.

You can listen to it via NPR website (the widget on the top of the page, if you select the station).

Zero room inside the apartment.

The space they are in is restricted to 6 people max, and only three that live on that level - me, my wife, and my neighbor.

Extinguisher is to cool down drivetrains after my rides, obviously.

If you want some good tunes, KJZZ on Sunday nights is where it's at. Bob Corritore hosts a killer blues show.
