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

We're Watm Showeers hosts. We host touring cyclists. A couple from Germany arrived yesterday. Certain that if they were to remain in a hammock over an hour they would fall out. Or their back would be killing them. I put a couple up, just so they could see what it's like. They immediately.noticed how much cooler it is. I poked my head out a few minutes ago to find both hammocks still in use by sleeping humans.

I get it. I understand it's extremely hard to change eating habits. I'm just fortunate to have a spouse who's a nutritionist and keeps hammering these health reminders into me until I get it. She always complains that I don't listen to her, but that's not the case. Her words DO sink in, just slowly, requiring repetition. That's just who I am, I need sound logic or convincing evidence before I adopt new behaviors. I'm not a spontaneous person. My reticence regarding disc brakes is probably a good example.

So, I have 2 family members in the hospital now. My dad went back in on Saturday and my brother went in on Friday. Brother had a prostate procedure done and ended up with an apparent mursa infection that almost killed him. His BP was 80 over 50? He was passing out. And hallucinating. He might get out today. They installed a pump yesterday for intravenous antibiotics.
. Dad went back in after blood work on Friday showed he has pneumonia, and his hearfailure is active. His legs were alarmingly swollen.

Good thing you clarified. For a second, I thought you were excited about New Tang Dynasty.

Now you need to invest in a big screen TV just for your spare room/garage, and a minimal computer with a kick-ass graphics card, and a crap load of box fans.
