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

Sorry, don't want to bring anyone down. Just thinking about this stuff a lot lately.
Don't bring me down.

How about some late 70s action, Poison Ivy on guitar. Music doesn't start 'til somewhere in the middle of this film.

You're offered $50,00.00 but if you accept it, the person you hate the most in the entire world gets $100,000.00. Are you taking it?

"Why would I not accept it? I could use $150,000.00"
because that ass**** doesn't deserve it!
