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'm pretty neutral on the subject of electric versus gas cars. But, I'm positive of one thing - gas cars are not going away. Because of that, I try to stay in the loop on developments in both fields. One good thing is that you can switch, or alternate, between the two forms of energy if you have multiple cars although it's hard to know where the current trend will take us. For some the subject is rather polarizing, but most stay pretty grounded on the subject. I just cannot resist the new tech.

None of it is shocking, really, but some people seem to be getting really amped up about it.

My little girl just resigned from her job. She has been sought after since moving to Austin, and is taking a position with a tech company. Six figure starting compensation plus stock. Not counting the stock, that's a 30% increase, so hard to say no. She's excited and I'm excited for her. Hard to believe she is just two years out of school.
