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

Bengals have a "thing" for rubber, cords...etc..

He is a cute, high maintenance, little sucker.

I used to have a cat with a thing for bartape. He got over it after the bike landed on him a couple of times!

The cat we have now is a cord destroyer. Her death toll so far: two phone chargers and I think three sets of earbuds.

I guess that's better than the furniture destroying cats I've had.

The last Bengal loved electrical cords...I used to paint them with hot sauce, yet I'd find some chewed into the conductor. He had to have shocked himself.

The funny part is that Herbie's meme had me rolling around with laughter because it reminds me of one particularly nasty piece of work in that forum. He makes a habit of taking a perfectly nice conversation and crapping all over it, then strutting around as though he's proud of it.

Our boy cat has a thing for cords and wires, too, though he most often chews on them to manipulate us - if we're still in bed when his breakfast time rolls around, he knows that chewing on the cords on my wife's side of the bed will piss us off to get moving.

i dont particularly like cats, but i think "nanny" cams on cats when noones home could be very entertaining, theyre such strange creatures and get themselves into hilarious types of situations

I had a beagle when I was young that used to chase the ironing cord as it flipped back and forth when my mother ironed. He bit into it once and ran through the house peeing all the way.

I have been meat free since age 20. But ovo-lacto, so dairy/eggs are kosher. No animal flesh.

Only 6.8 here, but it was a soupy mess out there. I thought we'd be done with humid, muggy, warm mornings a month ago.

I eat breakfast immediately after getting up. It reduces the number of stupid things I do before breakfast.

I have no appetite immediately after getting up.

Takes me a good hour or so to feel hungry.

I'm still in the 2-3 range, and today was an off day.

I don't like to eat immediately. My wife gave me breakfast in bed once when we first met and I had to tell her that I appreciated the effort, but not to do it again since I can't eat without moving around a little first.

In the warm months just getting up ironing my clothes and making breakfast is enough time. In the winter months we get up and go to the gym in the morning first thing.

I know it's idiosyncratic, but I love to eat a good breakfast first thing in the morning. Typically it's a fruit yogurt and a banana. I love omelettes, french toast, pancakes, etc. but too lazy to make them generally.
