i have to have a car because otherwise i cant drive around the country solving mysteries while being doggedly pursued by federal marshals for a crime i did not commit (9/11)

we've got a good rails to trails network here, we won't ride on the road either. People are murderous.

until we get stuff like truly protected cycle tracks around here there’s no way in hell i’ll ride on the road. feels really good to load up the bikes into the back of the car to drive to some dedicated trails a mile away.

I’m gonna have a bag of n95s and work will provide tests + carbon testers and poo poo so the airplane is the big deal.

Not sure how long your flight is, but I had to travel for work (boss's boss's boss offsite etc) and made it through with a vflex. It sucked going 5-6 hrs with no eating or drinking (mask on before entering airport and not off until I was out on the other side), especially because eating Special Airport Garbage is the only fun part of business travel, but the vflex was fine comfort wise. I ended up wearing it all day at the office too (only one) and it was also fine.

yeah I’m not afraid of wearing the mask long, though my flight is 7h long and there’s a bunch of time doing the airport first. Thirst is probably gonna be the trickiest one.

Oof 7 hrs is rough. I made sure I was really hydrated before getting to the airport and it was ok. It feels like you could hold your breath, take a drink, exhale into your mask as you put it back on, and limit exposure that way.

Good luck.

take a water bottle and ask the attendants to fill it for you - on my ~14 hour flights back home they'll start to get annoyed around the 5th time I ask but dammit i drink a lot of water.

yeah I got some Gatorade I’ll drink down before entering the airport. if I must I’ll grab a sip on the plane from a bottle real quick while the plane is in the air (better air circulation, less co2) and minimize risk overall.

I’ll land at like 10pm, probably will grab whatever food I can find for the hotel and go to sleep after a long shower.

when I was a teenager I was biking along and I saw a girl I liked so I tried to impress her by slowing down quickly but I just ended up jaming the front wheel and going over the handlebars. she was not impressed. she probably didn’t even notice


and no please don’t ask me why I thought that she’d be impressed by slowing down fast let alone even be able to tell

this is why they started serving free bevs on flights early on. wildly common complaint due to altitude/recycled air and was easy enough to address

for most of the flights I’ve ever been on they’d do that bullshit where they pour you half a can of pop and then stow the remainder away in the depths of the service cart. last trip though they just have me the whole thing. mysterious.

what was up with that half can thing anyway? you’d think they would just give the other half to someone esle but i never got the portion left in the can nor did i ever see they serve anyone else without popping a new one open. :confused:

good fas will remember what they have open but if it's something popular it's faster to crack a new one every time and clean up halves near the end.
