Addiction LXVII

Notices
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

That pretty much sums it up this morning.
Always a couple of additional steps before drinking a cup for me. Benson needs walkies and breakfast first.

My street slants down for many blocks, so the water drains away. During heavy downpours there can be a river along the curb up to 2' wide.

Indeed. It was quite the game, and I couldn't look away.

There's tons of opportunities to look away - in between pitches, in between batters, in between innings . . . .

What hubs do you have on there? My Paramount has the same rd, with tricolor hubs laced to Araya CTL 370 rims. I'm gonna pull that bike down soon, and take it for a spin.

I made it to inning five; then went to sleep and slept 10 hours. And when I woke up I almost forgot to drink my coffee. The addition of the Aeropress is significantly lessening my addiction. Immediately I began drinking only half as much. No, a month or so later, I can actually get up and function some before coffee.

I always carry a comb, but use a brush first thing in the morning.

Remember the purple ketchup? I was doing food demos in stores and I served blue French fries with green and purple ketchup. I had coupons too.

Having the UPS guy deliver a new bike to the house is always exciting, even if the bike isn't for me.
