Addiction 2021.2

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

The 865 area code is where it's at. See what it spells out.

FWIW, I did try to get him a NYC number, we figure that a 212 area code is his birthright since he was born in Manhattan, but no dice.
I don’t think Manhattan residents can get 212 anymore. Like trying to get 617 in Boston.

My department use R, SAS, Python, SQL, DAX and MDX. I’m dangerous with all of the above.

if it's not mandatory I'd decline. It sounds like it's for their benefit not yours.

I would think coffee is a necessity with those cannoli. YMMV

That was certainly the case while we still lived there, but I was hoping that, like winning a rent-controlled apartment lottery, we'd luckily stumble on to something after an old tenant died.

I don’t even know if you can get 518 any more with the new overlays here in NY. rjones28 can people still get 315? I’m never giving up my 315 number.

A different era (obviously) but I couldn't have imagined having my own number at 10.

Pretty harrowing half mile ride from where I buy my banh mi to where I eat my banh mi. I'm wearing a t-shirt so no banh mi pockets. Had to carry sammich in one hand, drink in the other. I wasn't sure if my honey milk tea was going to make it.

Yeah, very different. He's started to go off on his own though, meeting up with friends for bike rides, so were doing it for the communication and tracking.
