Addiction 2021.3

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

Will the announcement be issued from an undisclosed location at an undisclosed time?

Those who paid attention to the hint in post #5978 know that's incorrect.

I guess that's to be expected for those who reach this age.
