Ah, fake ride done. I know that I'm preaching to the choir, but exercise is great to quiet a noisy mind; I just needed to tune out, and not think about anything for a spell, so I jumped in with the B Brevet Bunch for a bit. It was a nice reset.

That's a lot of gear on your feet. Did you cut off your circulation?

Speaking of music…A friend of mine works for a well known florist here. A co-worker made this for the funeral of Leonard Hubbard at the request of his mother. Hubbard was the original bassist for The Roots, playing with the group for 15 years. He died last month of multiple myeloma at age 62.

I'm boosted so I'm good. I don't tell random diabetics to lay off the sweets when I'm at at candy store. It's their problem. I believe that's where we are. Reminds me of this:

And in any case, anti-vax and anti-mask people are all horrible, selfish ****heads who don't give a flying **** about other people. T'hell wit' 'em.

Yeah, but diabetes is not a contagious disease, it's not an obstacle to our children's education, and as widespread as it is, it still is not a threat to overwhelm our medical facilities. Anti-vaxxers are a threat to our society and I don't think we should lighten up on them one bit. But that's just me.
But that's just me.

Town activity complete. I turned out to be not only painless, but somewhat pleasant. I picked up a few more KN95s. I find that if i ask everywhere I go, I get results on occasion. Ordering them online was not an option this time, as Amazon Prime is two weeks, at least, and this came so suddenly, we didn't have the time.
Also, daily tangerine consumption begun.

Omicron is like the 1998 Tour de France. Everyone is positive.

The vagus nerve and its innumerable branches carries the outflow of the entire parasympathetic system. It does many things to many organs–slows the heart, speeds digestion, lowers inflammation, etc.–all having to do with signaling and promoting the resting, recovering, state of the organism.

The problem with spending a Monday night building up a bike, when it's Winter, and you aren't retired, is that you can't ride it till Saturday. I have done all the fiddling I know how to do with position, shifting, braking, etc. The cables are now crimped.
I am ITCHING to ride the Litespeed, Frankengruppo notwithstanding. It's like a physical need. Also, I haven't ridden since Sunday, even on Zwift, and I'm jonesing.
