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

There are A LOT of episodes. Back then you'd do 22-26 episodes a season, and there were 5 seasons. 156 episodes! Of course there's some dreck, but by and large they remain remarkably good watching. It still amazes me that the show ever got made in the first place, in the era of "Leave It To Beaver" and such.
Agree. Compared to the other TV shows of the time, this was ahead of its time and has generally aged well.

Yes, and much of it holds up remarkably well in modern light. Same issues, different look. "The Monsters are on Maple Street" is probably my favorite, and its closing monologue lands hard.

A few Twenty years ago, for the one of the new Twilight Zones, they got together Bill Mumy and Cloris Leachman (who played Anthony and his Mom) and Bill Mumy's real life daughter, and revisited the same town, only now Anthony is middle aged and has a daughter who also has powers. I forget the plot, exactly.

I have your 50 lbs - and I would be happy to return it

years ago some of my friends would call me Claudio or Chia - for Claudio Chiapucci

now I'm more like an over saturated / ballooned Chia Pet

the good news is Mrs t2p and the t2p kids are lean

Sure, stuff happens, but I can't help thinking we all (drivers, cyclists, everyone) live in a cruel and destructive society, which tolerates a very high rate of suffering in return for not much value.

Front wheel slid right out from under me on the gravel driveway. The bike is fine. The brake levers were scratched up, but I filled in the scratches with thin c/a glue, sanded them out and shot 2 coats of clear urethane on them. They look better than new now. I did have to straighten the bars, stem and seat, a couple times to finish the ride. Road rash on left knee and lower left leg. I managed to get my hands down before impact so I didnt get hurt but I was awfully sore on Monday. Had to skip the Tuesday night ride but rode a solo 42 on Wednesday. Been quite a week! 5 hours and 15 minutes 102 miles

Scorpion sting this afternoon. A very rare occurrence. I use the same treatment as I do for other bites---clear nail polish. It took the sting right out of it.

Is this roughly equivalent to a bee or wasp sting?

I have no pushed them to the dev server, let alone further down the chain.
