I would rather ride in a little more heat and a little less humidity, so I'll wait til later.

Rapha is owned by the Walton family, who dumps tons of money into pro life and stop the steal candidates. I prefer not to have my money go there.

Thank you for that information. I was not aware of the ownership.

I was aware that they were owned by a pair of the younger Waltons but, given their cycling advocacy and Rapha's leanings, I'd assumed that their views were not necessarily in step with the family in general.

The price tags for the rubbed salmon filets at the Whole Foods near my NJ office read “CONTAINS FISH”.

For me 81° would be better. 71° would be much better-er.

Seems Steuart is an R and Tom appears to be a D. Those are the two that own RZC Investments, the company that invested in Rapha.

It reminds me of the saying my brother shared with me - "OSHA regulations are written in smoke and blood." - they exist because someone, somewhere got injured or killed.
