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

If you're sitting in a chair for a colonoscopy, you're doing it wrong.

They frown on reading while driving anyway.

Prostrate? Usually they tell you to lie on one side.

Quaky stuff reminds me of Quake 3. Which reminds me I was thinking of getting Far Cry 5.

It's not like flying a MiG to the West to defect. Whatever he's flying, they have them in Canada, too.
