One of my cycling friends is a software guy for Hammerhead. On today's ride we started talking about Strava. I told him that for what I use it, I don't think I want to pay $60/year and that from the end-user perspective, being asked to pay for something that was previously free seems unfair. He had a very different perspective and thinks they should be able to charge for their services and that my expectation of free usage is not realistic.
We agreed to disagree on this.

Actually they should make you eat a Little Debbies every mile of the run, and every 5 miles of the bike.

Says beeswax is the most hydrophobic wax out there. And just like that my keyboard is normal again. Will I remember the trick next time? Not likely. So I will use beeswax. He did say I have to clean the entire drivetrain. We'll see about that.

Today I did a nice loop into the next valley and over a canyon for the return. When I crested the last hill I stopped to wipe my glasses before the descent. A woman was running up the road coming toward me. I never see runners up there, it's remote, steep, and it was hot today. She must have owned one of the cars I saw parked along the road.
Me: Hi, how far are you running?
Lady: Only about 6 miles.
So, no big deal, then?
No, no big deal. How far are you biking?
About 50.
So, no big deal?
No, not a big deal.
Ok, enjoy!
You, too!
I got a kick out of it and a smile, too.
