I went for a bike ride last evening, came back, and read that Velo Gator went for a ride, too.

Uncanny.

i really think we have turned a corner and that the early arrival of bad weather this winter will mean an early end to winter. i'm optimistic about early season riding.

seems like it's better for day 3 of a cold. if you get loaded early on it tends to get worse IME.
At the risk of being logical...

A cold has a certain lifespan - 3 days in it's three days closer to being over anyways...

I suck at getting rid of colds. I'm good for 5-7 days of misery. Luckily I only get 'em once every 2 or 3 years on average.

I do miss the kindler, gentler era of freely allowing people to Insult, which they must.

I always wonder at the deeper meaning of churches that get hit by lightning, tornadoes, etc....

I don't get MUP engineering. They're building a new MUP on the side of a hill. It's only 1/2 mile or so long, but it would allow cyclists to avoid going through a couple big intersections and a worrisome interstate access ramp, so I am looking froward to seeing it finished.

They had the thing graded and it looked like they were about ready to pave it weeks ago. Then, for reasons, I still haven't figured out, they started building a concrete wall on one end here (Google street view), and that thing is taking forever. Who knows when they will get to paving now.
