Lots of rain today plus wind advisory means no ride today. Will try to do a recovery walk with mrs datlas between the storm fronts.

Daughter is going to the Taylor Swift show tonight at Cowboys stadium. The recommendation is to get there 5 hours early due to crowds in light at security checkpoints. That’s insane.

My shoe upper separated from the sole and my friend went into a store and got a roll of white tape and wrapped it up. You can see the white on my right foot as I'm stuffing my face.

Yesterday’s ride featured mostly strong crosswinds. One of my friends was on my wheel most of the day. He is small (maybe 5’6”) and has a very aero bike (Faktor something), so on the downhills he would frequently sidle me and even overtake me. I found it slightly annoying and called him on it. “You are a sidler! I may have to buy you tic-tacs”!(Seinfeld reference which he gets). He protested that he did not want to use his brakes or slow down as the course was rolling and he wanted to keep his momentum.
He is an otherwise nice guy, so I kept it light with recurring sidler jokes/references, but honestly he could have feathered his brakes and/or sat up a bit (wind brakes). None of the other riders are sidlers.

Seems appropriate for SpongeBob.

All of my bikes are 58 except one? The cervelo was a 56 but I don’t have that anymore.

telling your passengers during the inflight PA that there are 6 hours left, when the flight is only supposed to last an hour didn’t go very well.

At least you did not tell them to prepare for an emergency landing.

Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, with a dusting of snow, from Kincaid Road
Virtually zero traffic, as lower Mount Hamilton Road is closed to vehicles.

Nobody seems to be in a good mood today. Sigh.
