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

Honestly, I'm not sure which way the scales would tip, for me - it's a tough one.
it’s not the bodily harm so much you need to worry about, it’s the mental and psychological harm that can really do you in.

See there? You're catching my drift. I'm tempted to do the same here. We're on a tiered water plan, because they have to pay for the increased capacity for all the multi-family dwellings they're building. Permanent construction adding big ol honkin water infrastructure. Gotta have that tax base, you know.

Choose your words judiciously, I believe you are only allowed 5 posts per day.

True. This all happened when I again attempted to change my password. I've been trying it, off and on, for six or seven years. BF wants me to be seedsbelize2. No other options. Have any of you had success changing a password? Maybe post a tutorial.
TIA
