Re: Post Race!
I don't see the attraction of biking across country. Seems like a lot of unnecessary misery. I mean, if you want to see the country, that's why God created cars and hotels. lol

Re: Post Race!
Well, I'm trying to do it in such a fashion that it avoids the misery.
On a mountain bike on flat ground, I can maintain 12 mph. Therefore, 60 miles a day would mean biking for only about five hours out of the day. I intend to average about half that, with a couple weeks of buffer if needed. Therefore, I think that I can bike for about two and a half hours a day, which isn't much at all, especially if not done all at once. That should be a leisurely pace.

I'll also have a computer with me. Biking and coding, gaming, and banning spammers. Where's the misery in that?

I'm all for leisure.
This sounds like it will takes months. You plan on camping or staying at hotels/motels?

Re: Post Race!
Yes....to every part of that.
I expect it to take about five months, though I likely would have to speed up in the west, simply because my options for things like water and reasonable camping become farther apart.
As for lodging, there are places where only camping makes sense (at the pace I want to travel), and places where hotels are the only option. The rest of the time, it will depend on what I feel like...and laundry. Laundry can drive where I stay.

Re: Post Race!
When I first started working for Allstate, we were still running a mainframe app where the cursor did absolutely nothing. We eventually migrated to a web based application (though it used the old mainframe app under the hood), but all of our documentation still had "F1 for help", "F2 to complete", or "F3 to cancel".

Well Autumn is definitely here now as today I've seen four squirrels scampering around the garden and running up and down trees. Their nut gathering has started in earnest.

There's a chance that the fires will get going again. They weren't extinguished by the two storms that came through, as those storms didn't have all that much rain associated with them...and now it's dry and breezy, again.

I hope the winds don't shift around to the north. I've breathed in enough smoke for this year.
Some people were using apps that showed you the equivalent number of cigarettes you'd have to smoke each day to match just breathing this air. We were working on two packs a day.

I can't smell cat piss. It's pretty weird, really. For whatever reason, that smell just doesn't register with me. Poop I can smell, though, so if you are speaking literally, then I would be able to smell it.

Re: Post Race!
The article was about a debate between candidates for a state seat. The debate was held in the Clearwater River valley. Somebody asked the conservative candidate about discrimination and he said there wasn't any in Idaho. His opponent related that she had encountered discrimination a few times, and mentioned the Aryan nations compound in northern Idaho. At that point, the conservative candidate lost his mind. Among other things, he yelled at his opponent that she should, "go back to where you came from", and stormed off the stage. She was, of course, a member of the Nez Perce tribe, which was centered around the Clearwater, so she WAS home.
That's Idaho.
