A miss is as good as a mile; or so the old saying goes. Today I gave the salvage store a miss. Let\’s face it: I stocked up so much that I\’ve got to use up some of the stuff! If a hurricane struck tonight, or a sudden COVID-19 surge hit; and I were literally […]
We don\’t want our bicycles to go to rack and ruin. But a rack over the rear wheel is a great idea! This sturdy rack from Ibera can hold up to 55 lbs/25 kg; and lets you turn your bicycle into a pack mule. Hang on the panniers and bring home a load from the
True trailblazing, I suppose, is a thing of the past. Most of our planet has already been explored and mapped. Even trailblazing in the universe beyond our solar system is getting more and more common. This morning, however, I saw a meteor blazing a trail across the sky. That\’s a rare treat! I seldom see
It\’s good to know that clog doesn\’t always mean a plumbing problem, isn\’t it? There\’s clog dancing, too! I think it would be fun to learn the steps; and I wouldn\’t really need those wooden-soled shoes to do it. Sneakers would work fine, or even socked feet. (Sock hop, anyone?)

Last night I hoped that my ride prep wasn\’t for naught. I did the usual things: put Nuun in the fridge to chill; and got my recovery drink ready. I planned my ride food, too. But I can\’t do a thing about the weather; and the forecast looked chancy. It predicted scattered T-storms all morning;

\”Finders, keepers; losers, weepers\” was a phrase I heard quite often when I was a kid. It seemed to mean that, if you found something, great; and if you happened to lose something, tough luck. Yesterday I thought I needed to buy a new water bottle. I dropped the bottle while trying to get it
