Maybe you can post on one of those instead of the reposting of tweets that have no discussion merit, leaf raking, and your gripes about the medical system. What have you explored lately?

I really hate to be the heavy, but if The Older Boy doesn't stop buying ice cream every damn day, I'm never gonna get down to 190. I'll be lucky to claw my way back down to 200. My willpower works like an on/off switch, not a rheostat. I can either completely resist treats, or snarf them down in an orgy of overconsumption.

Didn’t get to finish, ass hole went down and I ran him over. Emonda is out of commission.
Should have known the race was going to suck when my power meter decided to not work at the start of the race. Calibration was good, and then nothing. 2.5 laps on the least sketchy part of raod this college kid goes down. I held my line and ran his bike over. Tried to stay with the group but my bike started vibrating, front wheel is bent, broken spoke and my fork has a gouge in the side of it.
Dude by lap 2 you know about where you fit in the field, if you are not in the top 5 stop trying to push your way up there. Especially after time and time again you can’t hold on a fall to the back. PISSED.

Well, 2020 was not a good year for anybody.

I had some ice cream. Boulder has additional options over Austin, funnily enough. Including Safeway, clearly the worst of the grocery stores, having more gluten free B&J than anywhere else I've seen. The Jeni's options are fewer though.

I could have done without it.
It was definitely unique, though.

Edit: I see it was a road race but my post still applies. Crashes happen, just a little less often in RR but they still happen. Count on it.
