Flying from most countries to the US is such a strange portal into a fat new world.

Looking at old photos is also an eye-opener. Very, very few obese people in old photos.

There's a Walmart here across the street from a Whole Foods. Going from one to the other feels like being teleported as well.

On our road trip, we needed to pick up some baby food.

Wife: "Walmart should have it - do you want me to just run in?"
Me: "And miss out on Walmart people in rural Kentucky? No way - I'm going in, too."

Public Shaming: [MENTION=185471]WhyFi[/MENTION] is trolling the editing of photos linked to my Strava account.

Can someone ban him?

How are you ever going to make your photos worthy of a huge watermark without a little constructive criticism?

What's "4% less obese"? Looking at BMI, MN hovers around 25 and TN is hovering under 30 - that's a significant difference.

Hey, if those folks can hover, they can't be too fat.

Maybe I should have said "floating" instead.

Speaking of photos, my dad picked up a Leica M10 recently. He took these in Oregon a few days ago. They're bigly resized, but at full rez they are stunning.

I have yet to walk through the doors of a Whole Foods. Nor a Trader Joe's. Alas.

sbxx1985 04-27-17 09:46 AM

Whole Foods has Sadie's salsa from NM. But belize probably has great salsa access every day.

seedsbelize 04-27-17 09:48 AM

My first ban? Vamos a ver. I really don' t know how far one can go here.

It does, but we're in MEXICO these days

What'd you do? "****" ain't enough. You have to up your game to get that first one under your belt.

sbxx1985 04-27-17 09:54 AM

I remember my coasting memorial ride. I wonder what happened to his bikes.

After he died, I did write in my will who got my bikes and wheels. It avoids my wife having to decide what to do with all of it.

sbxx1985 04-27-17 09:57 AM

Boulder's Whole Foods sucks. It takes up an entire block and is packed with all the people that make this town irritating. Parking also sucks.

I do not go to this Whole Foods.

Sweet - audio guys like all the toys.

BTW, I mentioned you/your pops to one of my guys the other week (we try keep in touch). He reply was funny, "Oh, I haven't talked to him since the incident at Innovative in '12...." :lol: Seems he and your father had a little falling out (his language choice was a little more colorful).

Apology is not enough. Your penance is to delete all of those ride from strava, AND your logbook.

With or without clamp? If it's clamp style, what size?

I need either a 31.8 or clampless. I have a clamp.

Clamp. I'll have to check the diameter when I get back home.

I already sold the RD, so it's for sale.

sbxx1985 04-27-17 10:09 AM

I used to covet a Look. All their integrated stuff looks too weird. One of those in the marketplace. Not a huge fan of the poopy dog look (SWIDT).

Now I only covet a Time. And sometimes a Mosaic, but mostly a NOS Time.

Yea, he has a temper with dealers. Fortunately, that's reserved for the business side of things :innocent:

Saw the doctor this morning. She is pleased with my progress.
