Addiction 2022.2

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 feel great. Had a perfect day of riding followed by some easy yard work and then some serious patio time. Couldn’t ask for more.

Sounds like the new Varia camera is a dog. Sad.

I had an equally great day, but I was in the car. Green lights just kept popping up in front of me. This is my first memory, in my long history of driving, that I had not a single problem with another driver. I've been working on being calmer behind the wheel. It's finally coming to fruition.

Kudos to the athletes participating in the Wyoming High School State Track Championships today. Gotta love running in snow/rain mix.
