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

It's a little chilly for that today. But, this is the view from my desk with the window closed.

If your post consists entirely of capital letters (I guess that the colon fits the requirement because you have to hold the shift key), BF will automatically change it all to lowercase.

I wonder if that's the cause of those weird facial ticks we both have.

Most Dems are center-left you friggin Canuck Commie hoser. Actually the GOP's bigger problem is the even most Republicans who may be fiscally conservative are often socially more liberal (i.e., pro-choice, they support the social safety net, etc.).

The elections aren't over yet!

I'm running for an office tonight.

I got nominated to be the next Membership Chair of my bike club. It's a fairly large club with over 500 members, but admittedly most partake for the social aspects (we do more than just cycling).

Should prove interesting, given I've been a member for less than a year.

Personally, I'm indifferent if I get the role. I was asked to step in. I'd be happier than a cucumber in vinegar if I was just allowed to show up for the rides. But it's all good.

My band broke up before we even had 3 rehearsals. That's ok, those guys were idiots. Good players, but idiots. Back to me and the keyboard guy, maybe a drummer. We'll get it together. I wasn't crazy about trying to work in a second guitarist anyway, for a number of reasons. This will let Pcad be the Guitar Star. Plus neither of those guys could sing so great. We could use some stronger back up vocals. Even a woman singer maybe. Actually I don't care if we ever get a real band going. Just a quartet to go out to open mics and play once every couple of weeks would be fine with me. But if it becomes a giggable band, that's a bonus.
