I cycle home one day, back the next, about 1 hour each way. I do need a shower when I arrive. It took more than a year for me to go from sedentary to occasional cyclist, who craves the exercise.

That's all I'm looking at, anyway.

So I drive about 40% as much now as in the previous 20 years.

But I also drive less recreationally than 30 years ago, and I think that's partly due to Internet access.

I was walked out.
In a previous job, two positions were consolidated into one, and I got it. The previous occupant of the other stayed to help me come up to speed, and clearly hated every day of it. Now *that* is what I call professional courtesy. When I later left that company, I gave 2 weeks notice, and worked to the last day, past the last hour, and missed my 'going away' lunch, too boot. Now *that* is what I call silly.

and if the Holy Therns had left the atmosphere plants alone, it still would.

... if he hit his head, I guess it's not inconceivable ?

Why only 5 TVs ?

I can spell emacs, but not really use it.

Does anybody really care ?

and don't get pulled over for anything.
I wonder how big is the DNA content in a breathalyzer test?
