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

In Big Bear, nice easy 30 mile loop around the lake, acclimating to the altitude. MTB tomorrow and more TDF.

So how do we post pics now that Photobucket kicked the bucket?

Sounds nice up there.

I've been using imgur, but still not totally happy with ease of use. Maybe I should start a real hosting site.

Boooo - the gears in my head were working slowly, but I realized the other day that Search and State had some savings via a bib/jersey bundle in addition to the summer sale (30% off total purchase). Logged in today to see if I could double-dip and it looks as if they've caught that - bundles are no longer in stock though the individual items are. Oh wells.

AI's are getting a little too smart for their britches. Last night, my wife used the voice remote to search for a legitimate show on TV.

She said, "Find Schitts Creek."

The TV said, "I don't respond to that kind of language. "

I think they're going to backtrack eventually.

Until then you have to use bf's "attachment" feature to post a pic that resides on your computer. I assume it works the same way on your mobile device, but I do not have actual experience with that.

I can't figure out how to post pictures directly from a phone. How can you browse for it without a filing system?

I know that all the photos taken with an iPhone are saved in their Photos app. I guess I could investigate how to post from there. Gimme a few, but yard work is a-calling.

I don't see anything obvious right now. Maybe you could google for the answer.

Get him to sign a release, and you could earn a bit extra on stock photo sites.

You work with some of the stock sites? I looked in to it years ago, but it seemed like a little more trouble than I was willing to go through (which isn't saying much) at the time.
