I'm more annoyed by it being dark before I can get in a ride after work. I'll be a weekend warrior until spring. I may actually just throw a trainer tire on the back and stay inside until tax season is over... No, I won't let it get to that point already.

Casually Deliberate
Last night, we finished watching the movie we'd started at the Urgent Care clinic. It's called "Pontypool" and it's a psychological thriller/horror film from 2008. Not much gore but- since I think anticipation is scarier than flat out gruesomeness- still frightening. The action takes place inside a radio station studio and what's happening outside is relayed by eyewitness accounts over the phone or passed along to the shock jock as it comes across from the wire services. Very much a "makes you think" kind of film and I liked and recommend it.

I'm going to shoot for riding outside if it's: above 20° and there isn't too much snow on the ground. The reality will probably be that once it gets mucky out, the road bike and I will stay inside on the trainer (cleaning it post-ride to bring it in the house is just another inconvenience). I suppose that I could take out the SS Boat Anchor once in a while, if I'm stir crazy.

That'll buy him a few extra weeks, but after that, it takes another level of determination (lunacy?) to ride outside in MN.

I didn't log nearly the miles I wanted to this summer. By the time the snow flies I should be able to break 2k miles and my goal was 3k. There's always next year!

List of fatal cougar attacks in North America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So, you're more likely to die from a lightning strike...
At least 20 people in North America were killed by cougars between 1890 and 2011, including six in California. More than two-thirds of the Canadian fatalities occurred on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Fatal cougar attacks are extremely rare and occur much less frequently than fatal dog attacks, fatal snake bites, fatal lightning strikes, or fatal bee stings.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] Children are particularly vulnerable. The majority of the child victims listed here were not accompanied by adults.
So, you're more likely to die from a lightning strike...
