Pfft. You should see MLK Drive. There are far more people out than there would be normally. Lots more kids, too. Guess with no little league and soccer the parents have to find something for them to do. The interesting thing is that the lack of tourists means no line to get a photo with the Rocky statue.

I went out to the desert. I only encountered one cyclist. We didn't come within 12' of each other. There was also a SxS, which stayed at least 20' away.
I see Arbys has Coke Floats for a buck. All the shortcake in Pennsylvania wouldn't allow datlas to outfat me this summer!

They haven't dared to suggest that to us, and they'd face rebellion if they did. There's no way I'd commit to days now with no way of knowing what might be available then.

I haven’t used a single day of my vacation days year to date.
What’s worse, our company does not allow vacation day roll overs. Nope, not a single day.

I think I’ve used one of 25. I also think we can roll over 5. Now that private campgrounds in PA can open I may try to take a long weekend soon. I know a place that is mostly seasonal campers with trailers. Plenty of room to distance. I’ve stayed there numerous nights and have encountered other people in the restroom maybe twice. The owner is a nice guy. Charges cyclists only $10/night. The first time I stayed there he offered me a beer.

We have an “eat what you kill” model for work. Take as much or as little vacation as you want. But even if you are gone you still have to pay full share of expenses (rent, staff salaries, etc.) so vacations are quite costly. I usually take 1 week in the summer and that’s about it. Last year I was decadent and took 1 week off in the summer and also the week of Thanksgiving (which was our Spain trip), so far no vacation this year, maybe a week in late August to take Heidi to USC (if they even have an on campus fall semester).

I don't remember who brought up Waterford a few days ago, but I wore this on today's ride:
Why do I own a Waterford jersey, you ask? Because Waterford made recumbent frames back when I was forced onto a bent 2003 and I owned one. It was sold under the Volae label but was a Waterford through and through.

our vacations don’t roll over either, but we usually can sell them back. And if the time is right when you sell it back you can sometimes make triple what it is worth.

The mileage allowance on my car lease averages out to 1,000 per month. After 8 months I'm 3,000 short of my normal mileage at this time.. I'm going to have a lot of miles to abuse once this thing is over. Maybe a road trip to California.

I haven't really had a vacation of any sort in 2 years. Last year was a total nightmare. This year (even with Covid) I feel far more relaxed. Even a staycation would be OK as long as I can get out to do all the hiking/biking I want.

Does anyone know how long each stage of acquisition according to the Ferengi should last?
It seems like I’ve been stuck in infatuation far too long. If I had a guideline, at least I would know. There’s still the justification, appropriation, obsession and resale that I have to go thru you know?

Man. What is with the wind lately? Weather guesser said 5 to 10 mph. I rode in 15 to 20 mph head winds again today. At one point I was cursing out loud going 12 mph.
I finally put my camera on the bike today. So of course I didnt need it. Which is ok.
Good ride all things considered.
