Addiction 2022.1

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

She's on my list, too, she is not hard to look at.

The one with more shipping will actually work out to be slightly cheaper. You don't get taxed on shipping charges.

Was waiting for someone to call me out.

Was doing it on my phone, and then would do it on the computer once I got the word on the phone.

The best I've done was 3. I'm usually in the 3, 4, 5 range.

So we got a ton of rain overnight, then a modest nuisance snow. The problem is temps are now taking a nosedive and anything wet is going to freeze. My staff are all panicking about this. I told them best bet is stay put and let the townships salt the roads.

Yes. Actually, the STATE (PENN-DOT) takes care of the major roads but the minor roads are handled by the townships which are fairly small. So even though work is only 8 miles from home, I go through 3 different towns/townships for work.

Hey, I don’t want you to hear the burden and I don’t have all the answers, but we, as a society, are doing expensive, politically difficult, and inefficient things all over the place. This is, at least, an effective approach.
