Addiction 2022.3

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

We just finished it last night too. Is good, and matches a great deal of what I knew just from growing up actually paying attention to cats.

The Discovery+ documentary miniseries from the BBC is even better and more detailed, with a much broader scope,

I got blood on both hands from that one. I took a chance and used some of the oats anyway. I was barefoot, and made my way to my way to my Wellies for the cleanup operation. I felt a light crunch during bowl #1, and spit it out. There is a little bit left in the pan, for seconds, in case I want more. Thankfully, a cast iron skillet is not a threat to break and bloody me yet more.
You could drop it on your foot.

I liked the part about how cats recognize their name but that doesn’t mean they still won’t ignore you.

They are not wired to respond to a pack leader. You must work with them diplomatically, not dictatorially.

I don't have to worry about that one.

Slow ride with the B-Boys today. Battaglin and a pair of Bianchis. Next time I'll make sure and get my Basso in the pic.

No guys showed up and they invited me out of sheer pity. The pace was spirited, but civilized.
