Read along, if you so desire...

Reading a new book - "Plato and A Platypus Walk Into A Bar".  In for some philosophical fun?  Read it.

"Inductive Logic:

Holmes and Watson are on a camping trip. In the middle of the night, Holmes wakes up and gives Watson a nudge.  'Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.'

'I see millions of stars, Holmes.'

'And what do you conclude from that, Watson?'

'Well... astronomically, it tells me that ther are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.  Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.  Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.  Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.  Thrologically, I see that God is all-powerful, and we are small and insignificant.  Uh, what do you see, Holmes?'

'Watson, you idiot! Someone has stolen our tent.' "

Maybe it's just me, but I was cracking up on a busy train.  : )
Also, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be... that's the obvious truth.

It feels like SPRING!!!  The weather in Granichen is beautiful... Unfortunately - Murphy's Law -  it isn't supposed to stay this way, and it's scheduled to RAIN on the day of my first race: a local race in Niederhelfinschwil.  Say that 5 times fast.  Looking forward to testing out my legs.


Some very complicated Self-Portrait work.


I LOVE the roads here.  So beautiful.


The soil here is Switzerland is the perfect mountain bike dirt.  Very easy to build trails - although you have to get government approval first... a process that takes 6 years.


No, unfortunately, that is not an attempted goatee for Mustache March... That's leftovers from Giverolan Face-to-Rock Special.
