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

I still do pbk and ebay.

This is the lead, the rest of what you wrote proves your assertion.

As previously stated, Datlas is contemplating his next attempt at outsmarting the censor filter.

Mrs Datlas captured the absurdity of your comments perfectly as expressed in the vessel in the middle of the table. It's clearly painted to exclaim "WTF" with arms raised in muted exasperation.

You missed out. Could have had several days of angst with a deadlocked jury.

Perhaps he's one of those people who don't perspire, and so has no grasp of how dehydration works.

I gotta try and get to sleep early tonight, see if I can get my sleep schedule set up for watching Paris Roubaix live.

I'll probably sleep in and have to download it though.

Whatever the number, you could have HTFU and gone eight more miles.

a) 10 additional miles
b) how do you know that I didn't HTFU just to get to whatever the number? I did run out well before getting home.
c) I happened to have weighed myself before and after the ride - I was 5lbs lighter afterwards, and this was after downing a pint of water and an oatmilk protein shake, so I was probably closer to 6.5-7lbs lighter.
d) you should totally show us how it's done.

Coincidentally, I watched "A Sunday In Hell" today for the first time. It was ok bit there was a lot of screen time for people yakking in Flemish or French. If they weren't going to subtitle them it would have been nice to at least tell the viewer wtf they were talking about.
