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

Three Carnival ships, one Norwegian, and one Royal Caribbean.

We Canadians are just going to have to get used to not having the place pretty much to ourselves anymore.

I should be helping to keep the raptor pics coming. Here's a young Bald Eagle from a couple of weeks ago.

Anyone have experience using Credit Karma to monitor credit scores? Did you find it accurate?

Maybe we should ask Billy to put up an eagle picture for the Friday caption contest. It might garner more attention than my weak effort.

I'm sure there are plenty of folks who can't wait to get their hands on a modern car.

I agree that it is weak. I also acknowledge that so far it is the best. Good job.

The van needed new headlights and wiper blades. NBD. But, when I removed the driver's side headlight, I found that it is hanging on by one mount tab. Guess I'll be getting a new module.

Researching HRM that work with phones I found that my Garmin HRM works with my wife's current phone, but not mine. Damnit!

Nobody told me you wanted more raptors. I got tons of raptors.

Nice shot [MENTION=76315]nondes[/MENTION], good color in his eye. It's funny how they love to perch on those stubs. Usually provides a clear view of the surroundings.

I suspect the Cubans don't find their clunkers to be nearly as charming as we do.

I was able to squeeze in a ride between rain showers this morning and decided to wear my one pair of bibs for a change. Hey Dennis, you think running is stupid? Not when compared to bibs. Running is the height of intelligence compared to bibs.
