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

Punctuation saves lives.

How do you make it read the post back to you so you don't have to read them yourself. My eyes struggle with screens. And then sing normal stuff afterwards

We’ve done the same. Seven at our current place, and 3 at the last place.

Can't remember the last time I did that it was it was a real treat this just blows my mind talking into the computer and watching it print out totally think of next clearly it's not yet perfect but we'll keep working on it I want to figure out how to listen to what I'm seeing what I'm reading instead of having to read it

Oooh, we get an hour of Giro coverage on channel 23.5.

This might be the new golden age of television.

He has a face. And, as it just started raining, he was only 24 hours off with his weather forecast.

Which phone OS?

And, while we're doing tech support, can someone explain to me why MS OneDrive stopped working in FireFox a week or two ago?

For Mrs. GeneJockey's Birthday dinner, we had Indian, from a place that is part of an Indian Restaurant Empire, run by the family of our purchase agent/office manager, at our little outpost on the West Coast. It was GOOOOOD!!!

Now we're too full for cake.
