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

Salsa is a condiment. Gumbo makes it a completely different dish. You could put the rice in the gumbo.

Probably cracked on the inside.

I’ll give salvage value plus shipping so he doesn’t have to drive it to the junk yard.

Put in my request for a booster this evening. Sometime this month. Astra Zeneca for the old folks, who have two Pfizers under our belts.

If WhyFi can fix motors, based upon installing a radio, I can perform brain surgery, based upon giving shots. I have applied myself.

This is getting old, Vol. I take it you're conveniently ignoring the other bit wherein I mentioned diagnosing and replacing faulty fuel injectors, too? Give it a ******g rest.

great, now we’re going to have a sub group of population going around telling everyone “I could have been a brain surgeon, If only I applied myself”

Next they will be demanding brain surgeon wages while taking selfies.

Wait the second thing is already happening.

We have that weird thing happening. Where at 7 am it’s 30 degrees but by 9 am it’s almost 50 degrees. Makes it really hard to dress.

I know, I know…. LAYERS.

But I only have so many pockets, and Whyfi knows my pockets are already taken. For stuff.

No, not immediately. But eventually, before its time.
