Addiction 2023.1

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

Crap! I used “carefully” twice in the same sentence and cannot fix it.

Sigh.

That's my story and here I am.

Regarding geographic regions; I have lived in 3 states (not counting the state of confusion) and wherever I've been its all about the same. I'm always me and the others are part of we. Judge people by the content of their character sounds like a good idea to me. That's all I'm going to say about that.

Definitely better to carefully proofread carefully rather than carelessly proofreading carefully.

Philly in the east, Pittsburgh in the west, and Kentucky in between.

I've had about 30 cars and none were Chrysler products. Not by design, just how it worked out.
