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 starting to resemble 3rd world activity.

In actuality, 3rd world countries originally learned from first world countries.

I do feel a sense of enlightenment when mowing the lawns. Only the bermuda patches get mowed right now, as the hybrid lawns are still dormant

The article has me rethinking hiring a service for the home lawns. Almost hate to foist all the mental well being on someone else and miss out.

Then again, there are the 100 degree days and the chore of mowing the lawn(s).

Tuesday ride group bailed due to threat of drizzle, so Tuesday ride will take place today. Should be a nice day as the wind has let up a bit.

Someone on my team really ****ed up a data process and I’ve been fixing it all morning. Great development opportunity for them, bad day for me. I may bang out an hour on the trainer at lunch to release some frustration

Awww, I missed out on the stretch '98 Lumina. It was posted in Santiago, Chile, so I guess that would have been a long drive home with it.

That's a jackass on the sign. Unfortunately, they are everywhere and cannot be constrained.
