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

Managed to get in the "Recovery Ride Number One" from Zwift Academy last night after dinner. I figured since it's a recovery ride, the Haluski I'd had for dinner was in no danger of making a reappearance, and I was correct. Bacon, onions, noodles, and cabbage. What's not to like?

It was pretty boring. Basically, almost everyone disappeared up the road within the fires few minutes, and I ended up riding the entire way with another rider who was going pretty much the exact speed I wanted to go, which worked out well. But I couldn't help noticing that even while he was leading and I was drafting him, his w/kg was LOWER. I went through all the camera views, and I think at least part of it was he was on a Canyon Aeroad, and I was on an Ultimate, and the Aeroad is just more aero. But also, he might have been shorter. Height does make a significant difference, as I discovered that time I accidentally made myself a fat hobbit.

Some of the school districts are saying whatever as well.

This goes beyond and hits every private employer. Under federal law, employers can mandate vaccines as a condition of employment.

I guess the next thing is to outlaw drug tests for employees. After all, you should have the freedom to put what you want in your body no matter how it impacts others.

I saw something that I've never seen before, and it took my wife to explain it to me. I received an email from a west coast lawyer that had a signature along the lines of (not her real name): Mary A. Smith (she/hers/her).

Color me old.

We are coming to DC for 2 days for the wedding and I just learned that our AirBnB is appropriately near the Atlas District.

However, since we will have a full car it's unlikely there will be cycling involved.

Wow, I've never seen that in an email sig either. Only on Twitter. I did hear a news story that one of the employment social medias had just added a field for pronouns. Probably LinkedIn, but I forget.

I wouldn't need the little lady to explain it to me because I've been on the Twitter though.

I'm not on the Twitter or much other social media. I follow my kids and wife on FB and Instagram, but that's pretty much it. I just keep learning something new every day.

My wife's initial response to me asking her was along the lines of, "I thought you were progressive enough to know that."

Seemingly not - just an old dolt.

I'm good, thanks.

I understand the gender preference issues, and have no problem with people doing what they want to do. I just had not seen that following a business signature. it just caught my attention. I didn't make any judgments.

It's the pronouns you're supposed to use when talking to/about her.

She went to the store.
That stapler is hers.
Would you make a copy of the sales report for her?

My wife explained that it informs people that she identifies as a female, and demonstrates support for the LGBTQIA+ community.

It's become fashionable and/or woke for people to include their "pronoun" on listings of attendees at meetings, on name-tags, and signatures etc. to be gender inclusive/aware.

So it's saying "I'm female" or is it saying "I'm straight female"?

If one is lesbian are different pronouns used?

Are only women doing it? Cause I haven't gotten any new memos lately.
