Cycle of Violence: The Hammer of June

Cumulative total for yesterday and today: 105 miles and some change. The infamous Los Angeles “June gloom” has set in and mornings are invariably overcast and cool—ideal for cycling. I’m trying to do more climbing so I can lose those extra winter pounds and take the endurance up another notch, and today my cycling pack and I did some of the tougher PV climbs, with grades of 10-15% for more than a mile. It may not be the Col du Galibier, but it does make your quadriceps yell, “Hey! Cut it out!” We kept the intensity pretty high for most of the ride, and I’m sure I’ll be feeling it tomorrow. Now for a Sapporo.

 Frank says:

In every language, the first word after "Mama!" that every kid learns to say is "Mine!" A system that doesn't allow ownership, that doesn't allow you to say "Mine!" when you grow up, has -- to put it mildly -- a fatal design flaw. From the time Mr. Developing Nation was forced to read "The Little Red Book" in exchange for a blob of rice, till the time he figured out that waiting in line for a loaf of pumpernickel was boring as f*ck, took about three generations. ... Decades of indoctrination, manipulation, censorship and KGB excursions haven't altered this fact: People want a piece of their own little Something-or-Other, and, if they don't get it, have a tendency to initiate counterrevolution.
