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

I was just thinking in terms of crappy Detroit compacts, but yeah. I suppose the Maverick replaced the Falcon as Ford's car to compete with the Nova and the Dart/Valiant

I provided documentary evidence when I made that assertion. Where's yours?

Speaking of covid my younger brother got Covid as of today. His wife, as you might remember, had it a a week or so ago. She went back to work Tuesday. That time-line sounds sketchy.

My older brother is still recovering from his prostate surgery. They opened him up from the stomach. He he has an incision from his Johnson up 8 inches to his belly area. the worst part is the catheter.

Meanwhile I'm the same which is to say...

The patient was on the precipice and covid pushed him/her over the edge. Probably aged as well. Sad nonetheless.

24 miles of gravel today. Spotted a yote and a rattler. Took an alternate route on the way back to avoid the latter.

No, not necessarily. 5 year survival rates for MM are > 50%, and of course people live with diabetes for decades. Those conditions seem to make COVID worse.

And so ends October 22, 2021, as far as I'm concerned. Gods willing, tomorrow will be another day.
Good luck, and godspeed.
