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

Correction. I'm being told that Oakland is not on the west coast. Kudos revoked.

Lilly and I are doing fine so far. She can hold her own bottle which is pretty sweet, hence the scrolling and typing. On the flip side, she is strong enough to sit up on her own and coordinated enough to reach for things so she is just grabbing at everything. Sounds weird, but I'm so proud of her lol; it's a recent development (she's 6 months old).

Actually, real estate in some areas of MT had been experiencing a boom since the pandemic. Missoula is particularly expensive. Among other things, It's a university town. I have been looking at trailer homes there. Bozeman is another places that saw crazy high prices starting with the pandemic. I remember reading an article describing how people were buying houses sight unseen for above asking price.

Oh yeah, even scientific mode, and usually dark mode.

sometimes you want to remember a couple of your results though, might as well crack into the spreadsheet, then you can save your calculations for posterity if you want

for ephemeral calculations I sometimes just type that **** into google instead of opening Calculator

You should use it more often, in the proper regular mode.
