@WhyFi you apparently live in the 4th most bike friendly city in the US-

LOL. 17 miles! It'd be one thing if that was all on a main road going through downtown, but it's scattered about in little chunks here and there. Almost pointless, but I guess the recreational riders go for it.
also, wut
The city created mountain bike trails within riding distance of town, and it's close to world-class road riding in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

There's great riding near GSMNP, but in it? For one thing, there's not many roads in it. And secondly there's a lot of traffic. So not so much, unless you go quieter times on weekdays.

Shop around until you find a doctor who tells you what you want to hear.

We're going to have cures for all cancers before we start to have a clue on autoimmune disorders. Sigh.

Hey, @BillyD, we had a presentation at work today and I thought of you. For part of it, they showed this clip. For anyone else interested in Lyme disease, I found it interesting. On good authority, a better, FDA-approved diagnostic test could be showing up about 5 years.

I like some Popeye's every now and then. My elitist wife refuses to go.

Today I received a pair of cycling shoes from @MoAlpha.
They are a bit big for me. I will have to do a test ride to determine if they are too big.

Anyway, I recognize the warning signs and can usually fix it in a day, two at the most.

There are times and situations where a chair is inconvenient, at other times it works perfectly. Normally I'm perfectly capable of standing for 3 hours, but when that's a struggle it's a clear sign something is wrong.

@Jadesfire The cruise is getting close now, less than 3 weeks away. It's getting exciting. We'll arrive in N.O. Nov. 11.

It's come to my attention that there's a unit of Polka for cycling out there. I've added it to my ebay searches.

Headed here for a three-day working meeting next week. I'll be sure to keep a rim/disc count if I see any ciclisti.
