Addiction LXXVIII

Notices
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've observed on my last few bike rides that traffic seems at or near normal again. On the interstate, however, it's still noticeably less.

I opted for a shorter, hillier, woodier effort rather than fight the winds on the Hardin Valley plains.

Zero cycling flybys on a 30 mile not-summer evening ride. Sad.

Glad you are unhurt. If he's just an employee lodge a formal complaint with his boss.

We didn't want to have to buy another device like an electric smoker to maintain. On a whim I searched for a smoke generator that could be attached to a gas grill. Voila! The Smoke Chief (https://www.smokehouseproducts.com). A cold smoke generator that sits on the gas grill shelf and pipes smoke into the rotisserie hole. Will try it this weekend.

I learned this morning I have a special ability. I am invisible to all drivers. Now I just need to figure out how to control this special ability.
