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

They fed us lunch at work yesterday, I guess that's all they can afford. Few years ago they had a huge Christmas party with catering, cash bonuses, and gifts. It's so slow I made 2.2 hours between Tuesday and Wednesday. Can't do that much longer.
On the positive side I got out on the mtb for an hour or so and then we drove to my friends house for the traditional feast of Gumbo, this time with the biggest King Crab I've ever seen. I ate a lot but didn't hurt myself.
If the rain stops I may get another short ride in today. Back to the job tomorrow.
