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

Everyone has psychological issues, whether they want to admit it or not. On the internets people construct carefully curated portraits of themselves to mask that. It's not as bad here as social media, but still present.

It's not that you people have a lot of problems; rather, everyone has a lot of problems.

Q: What's the term for a person who consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others?

Well it was good to see the Huskies beat Texass, after we Ducks fans got ripped off by having our team matched up with a fake school. If someone wants LU to play out here, maybe match 'em up with the best team in the Big Sky Conference next time.

Anyways, best highlight pic of the day, from the Rose Bowl

Of course there's also banter about football and cars and knives and woodworking (and bikes) and a million other things.
Lol! He called us stable !
