Poutine for lunch today accompanied by some Martinelli's sparkling cider.

Don't forget cheese curds. And the last time I bought some at Trader Joe's... Damn, they were expensive. Like $12 a pound for a cheese byproduct? #seriously

Originally I was going to get the steel wheeled LX model, put snows on those, and get me some blinged out summer rims. But then I found out the alloy rims already on the EX had crazy light rims and tires, with each assembly weighing 35 lbs.
I'm all upscale and ****.

So I took the plunge on a crazy trip, and am currently sitting 102 miles from home, in lovely Geneseo NY. I'll do the full @Heathpack report later. Need to find food now. Badly.

Wow, you've got 46 posts in 3 days? Have you ever tried less sugar in your coffee?

Two things really touched me in different ways when I visited Auschwitz. One was the display of all the shoes because it so pointed up the humanness of the victims. The other, for obvious reasons, was the booth, set up outside the gates, that was staffed by followers of Lyndon Larouche who claimed that none of the things we were about to see had happened.
If I didn't hurt any more than I do right now, I'd be fine. I'm really afraid of what I'm going to feel like in the AM.

Hiking, Addicts. This has got to be the last of the wildflowers until next year.

You have beautiful wildflower pictures. I have pictures of...the zombie farm. Took this before I went slam-dancing in the rest room.
That sounded a little weird.

Californians don't age so well. Too much sun and fad diets turn them in to shriveled brown prune people. Unless they get plastic surgery, which can be worse.

The mustard is all over the hills down here, making them nearly iridescent. Mount Figueroa was heady with the scent of lavender yesterday and the orange California poppies were exploding in little patches all over the hillsides. Sadly, by next week most of it will be brown. I'm glad I came this week.

Call of shame, or as I have nothing better to do right now...
I had this great ride all planned out today, but it's gusting up to 35 mph so I re routed to Floyd Park, content to meander along the MUP. I went to use a rest room and when my bike shoes, which have a thin coating of grease on them, hit the polished concrete floor...
At my age you don't bounce. You hit the concrete with a sickening thud. There's nothing broken, but there are parts of my anatomy that are not amused.
As I stepped outside, I got hit with a 40 mph gust of wind and concluded that the entertainment value of this ride had come to and end.
Now I'm waiting fort wife to get me. 2nd call of shame ever. Bummer.

NB for the others: A not-so-subtle reference to another Road thread where he agreed with me...
