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

The rainbow tiles animation is pretty awesome. I didn't realize there were dictionary definitions under the puzzle 'til the end.

Maybe it's just the body of an Alfa sitting on a 1997 Saturn chassis.

There's nowhere else as important, but I'm knowledgeable about other places. See MOTD posts.

This commercial was in regular rotation when I first moved back to AZ. Alice Cooper excels at bad Italian accents.

They couldn’t give those away around here. At one time dealers were advertising $20k off MSRP.

My team mate’s AR S was given to him as a high school graduation present, IIRC. It was around 1985.

Hope this isn’t too P&R. We started our tandem ride this morning from Ronald Reagan’s alma mater, my dad’s, too.
