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

We have a bunch of apple trees in the backyard. Lewis jumps up and grabs a branch and shakes. Apples fall. He eats apples all day. Fat ass.

After all I went through this morning to cover 23 miles, including walking washed out sections of trail, I encounter this 1 mile from my destination town. Had to backtrack a bit and take the road. Fortunately, it wasn’t busy. Had this been a Saturday it would have been.

my reply was to your bold assertion that you are doing fine. I'm skeptical..

My cats have made me bleed a lot more often than my dogs.

Zero burglars (or other people with malicious intent) are scared off by the sound of a cat meowing, or sitting silently in the window.

No smelliness is false, based on my experience with multiple cats during my lifetime.
