So...There is a bear roaming the woods of Philadelphia, in an area that is very popular with hikers, walkers, joggers and MTB-ers.

The weather is in that weird zone where it's chilly and windy. After having quite a few days of good weather, it's difficult to find tights and stuff and head out. I feel guilty and am going to try to get out but I keep wondering if a few days rest would do me good until the weather improves.

We hit 90 a couple weeks ago and had frost advisories the last two nights. We dug out our winter coats for the day trip yesterday. Continued craziness.

Don't be bringing up BikesDirect in this thread (not that I understand their interest in the stadium)...

We used to have a set of that Luminarc tempered glass dinnerware. You know, the kind you could drop on the floor a thousand times, and it would just bounce. But once in a very great while it would break. And man, when it broke, it made about a billion pieces of glass. Tiny pebbles, none of them sharp, but they were everywhere. We would be finding them in nooks and crannies for years after that.

While backing out of a parking space in New Orleans Friday, I put quite a dent in the new Acura TLX my wife considers hers. No way to pretend it was not my fault, but the other party must hsve planted himself right behind me in the split second after I checked and before I started backing up. Even the auto warning system didn't see him in time.
Remember the two cars we drive are identical but for color...and the new dent, of course. She is not happy. Lest I think the trouble has blown over, yesterday when exasperated about something else, she said, "First you ruin my car, and now this." I did not mention that the first damage to the car was done by herself. I think that was smart, don't you? A quick repair is my only hope.
