Addiction XXIV

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

I believe "tacos" are food. "Taco Cabana", despite the name, does not serve anything I'd consider food, so let's re-examine the premise here.

It's supposed to drizzle this evening and tomorrow and possibly rain Saturday. At least I had a nice ride in to work today.
