Huh???

Seriously, who writes a racist rant & then blocks you when you call them on it, calling you a ‘troll’ … well, Rebecca Theodore, obviously … but, I mean, really? If this is a typical response from Americans, maybe Trump is the best thing for them? Yeah, right - joke … in both senses of the world …

Oh, and apparently there is support for her comments ... maybe there is something wrong with the world, after all ... where opposing opinions are suppressed vehemently & forcibly ...

Have wrenched knee, and am forced to lie up … which means that my scheme to end the month with another 3000 Kcal, 100 km and/or 5 hours of riding will come to nought … still, this month has been the best for the last 12 months, so can’t complain - well, not too loudly …

Did a ride with Bro J (and Greg, Innes, Rolf, Chris) on Sunday out to Werribee - about 110 km from home. Forgot to turn Garmin on when leaving coffee … also, front light fell off on the roll down over a bridge; dropped the chain on the freeway; and, had a wobble on road back into Lara, as uncertain if tyre was flat or road surface was shaky. Innes behaved himself, for the most part, and it turns out that Rolf has a carbon seat! Apparently it is quite comfortable, as it has some give in it, unlike the framework for ‘traditional’ seats, and it would be lighter too.

Despite an expected delivery date of 7 April, the BoG bags arrived on 28 March - efficient to the very end. Very neat looking bags - now, just have to get out there & use them, to ‘dirtify’ them, as they say.

Obviously there is more going on, but that will do for now ...

How long???

Let me see …

umm …

so …

GEB went home - thankfully! Good bloke, but I am not a good influence on him :( he was all keen to drink alcohol, but could not hold it - hence we (Kristie, Felix & I) had to carry him home, after a unified decision to go play pool, but then he wet his bed! Worse, he got cranky when I made him clean it up …

However, did get invited to Pivot to see a movie with Mrs Xmas, and ran into Simon with his brother - it was quite interesting to note that they are very similar …

Ordered a book from Coop bookshop, as they have taken over the RMIT supply, but despite promises to issue w/in 24 hours, there still was nothing by the end of the week :( extremely poor service - phone number did not work, they did not respond to emails, etc.

Run out of money again - found $50 in my pants on Saturday - cleaning up things - so called Felix & went to visit with some drinks … he whinged & whined, so accompanied him to Pussycats … end of the night, I was trying to save him some money by holding on to his money for minute. Instead, he throws a hissy fit & storms out … but does not tell me he is going & there was my last $20 mixed in with the money of his that I was holding, which got taken as well … but apparently it is all my fault …
