Potholes are only too common in my neck of the woods. Many streets are in poor condition; and surfaces are often rough. That\’s why I use tough tires! For the most part, the levee bike path is in much better shape than many local streets; and I\’m glad I have it easily available. Even that […]
I kept coming across the expression \”rabbit rabbit\” in social media; and wondered what it was about. It\’s a good luck formula! If you say \”rabbit rabbit\” aloud; the first thing after you wake up; on the first day of the month; it\’s supposed to bring good fortune. Or maybe a present. It\’s too bad
Bellwether Men\’s Shorts are designed with both comfort and performance in mind. The gel padding absorbs bumps; and the high-spandex fabric can stretch in many ways.

I guess I\’ve got a strange appetite. Some time ago, I blogged about \”you are what you eat\”. That was in reference to sunblock; but some of the food I fix might seem outlandish. I\’ve been working to keep prediabetes at bay; and that led me to this book: On page 151 is the recipe
It would be the last straw if I had to leave my bicycles out in the weather. I\’m lucky that I can bring mine indoors; but if I can ever build a shed for them, I think I\’d like to try this: In fact, I used to have a copy of this book; but finally

We\’re getting some temperature swings; and that, at least, is typical of both Fall and Spring. This morning it was cool enough that I wore leggings
