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

Pie filling also uses a starch - like corn or tapioca starch - to thicken so the bloobs don't just roll all over the plate, out from under the crust. Nobody really likes watery pie.

Yikes! MRSA is no joke. My Dad got it once in his knee after a cortisone shot, and was in the hospital for some time with IV antibiotics.

Is it possible that these are a source of bother, even several days later? Discuss.

Alternately, an Apple TV, a decent-size computer monitor, and a crap load of box fans will also get the job done.

A couple friends of mine make maple syrup every year and I get a bottle or two as an annual gift. There used to be quite a bit of it in my area but it seems to be dwindling.

We used to collect it in New Era potato chip cans.

I have a similar situation going on. Eighteen years of marriage and I'm slowly getting it. I'm resistant to change.

18 speed internal gearing. There is a tandem crank on the other side. They can shift from one to eighteen, or the other way, in a flash.
4000 euros apiece. For the bike only. I failed to ask if the discs are hydraulic or not. So many things that could be asked if there was a day more. The are from East Germany, and were 18 when the wall came down. I would have loved to chat about that a bit. His weighs in at 40 kilos; hers at 30. Schmidt dynamo hubs, with a specially made USB charging port on the stem. Flash bikes.
I highly recommend the Warm Showers experience.

My wife starts a new job soon. Her office is in the Pepsi Center, which is big time fun.

On her first day, her new boss was walking through the kitchen at the Pepsi Center and ran into some dude wearing a mask making food. Boss went up to him and introduced herself. He said "Nice to meet you. My name is Joe Sakic."
