It's so slow. A pitch. Swing. Miss. Spit.
Pitcher views the scenery for 30seconds. The batter stares at his bat for a few seconds. Then pitcher shakes off two or three pitch calls from the catcher, opting to do the same pitch again. Then batter steps outside the box to spit.
The catcher/pitcher then repeat their pitch call charade. The batter, disrupted by the long delay, calls timeout, steps outside the batter's box, takes off his gloves, spits on them, then puts them back on again. Finally he re-enters the box and the pitcher is ready to go.
FOUL BALL.
Repeat.
It's like 5minutes b/ween pitches...

I'm on the bike, waiting at a stoplight, preparing to droppe the hammer on the Neyland Drive speedway when I notice BikeForums member ptle in the car in front of me, cavorting with a female.
He gives me this wave like "Hey, loser on a bike."
Sometimes I think I'm the only one who rides anymore. It's no wonder the obesity rate in this state is approaching 50%. I'm the only one who has decided not to let themselves go.

And yes, they are more aero and I've heard that they make a measurable difference (you'd have to talk with some of the aero geeks in the 33 in order to find out the real difference). A lot of guys use them in crits.

I was thinking about letting you draft behind me, because you can easily get up to to speed just coasting down the first hill.

You should have gone the other way down Sutherland Avenue. There's like forty empty UT apartment buildings there now, right along the bike trail. Talk about dumb. 
I suppose the fact that ptle is 135 pounds kind of pokes a hole in my story about everyone letting themselves go.
Oh well.

They're tearing them down to build about ten intermural fields. Everyone had to leave the beginning of summer.
Also I made sugar cookies today. I burnt them though because I was busying doing something... probably reading BF.

I use to live in those apartments. It's where a lot of international students lived. The rent was ridiculously cheap at $250. They remind me of welfare housing apartments, but weren't bad inside.

I go by there all the time. I don't know what condition they're in inside (apparently not very good), but it sure seems like a waste. Maybe they should have been charging more rent and used the money to do better maintenance.

They claimed it would cost 80 million dollars or something ridiculous like that to keep the apartments up. 80 million sounds like could just buy new apartments, but I think that's the number they used. It didn't make any sense at all and lots of people were angry about it. Apparently the apartments violated fire codes and other codes because they're so old. It would be more beneficial for them to tear them down. They also shut down many other dorms on campus, further limiting living space on campus.

What if I'm picking my own three, not-so-standard events? Like, say, off-road cycling, pistol shooting, and kickboxing?
I call it the "commutriathlon." Do they make a tri suit rated as level 3A or better ballistic armor?
