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

I been dodging plows in the winter my whole life...ain't no big deal. But in this case, we only have maybe an inch of snow, and only a dusting on the roads. Somehow we avoided the dumping everyone else seemed to get.

Not taken in a mirror. Taken with the internal camera on my mac. Images get reversed. What can I say.

Well it makes sense. Macs are for backwards people.

That's what I used to say about HP calculators. Macs are for people who don't want to f*** around with Microsoft and viruses and system crashes and...I could go on for days.

While they may have occasional problems, any indication that's it's not a vastly superior OS to anything designed my the microsoft folks is laughably silly. The existence of some mac problems does not negate that windows is full of problems.

FTW!

Best thing that ever happened to the MAC OS was going Unix-based.
It was brilliant actually...the usability of the Apple UI with the stability and power of a real OS.

Twas the night before christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse
The Madones were hung and the wall with great care
In the hopes that some new wheel sets soon would be there.

For all those who like to call us bikers....

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the pad,
There was nada happenin', now thats pretty bad.
The woodstove was hung up in that stocking routine,
In hopes that the Fat Boy would soon make the scene.

With our stomachs packed with tacos and beer,
My girl and I crashed on the couch for some cheer.
When out in the yard there arose such a racket,
I ran for the door and pulled on my jacket.

I saw a large bro' on a '56 Pan
Wearin' black leathers, a cap, and boots (cool biker, man).
He hauled up the bars on that bikeful of sacks,
And that Pan hit the roof like it was running on tracks.

I couldn't help gawking, the old guy had class.
But I had to go in -- I was freezing my ass.
Down through the stovepipe he fell with a crash,
And out of the stove he came dragging his stash.

With a smile and some glee he passed out the loot,
A new jacket for her and some parts for my scoot.
He patted her fanny and shook my right hand,
Spun on his heel and up the stovepipe he ran.

From up on the roof came a great deal of thunder,
As that massive V-twin ripped the silence asunder.
With beard in the wind, he roared off in the night,
Shouting, "Have a cool Yule, dudes and to all a good ride!"
