  1. I bought neoprene socks from Performance Bicycle and they seem to work
    rather well.

    Don't you have the standard rain golashes for that kind of thing?

    It wasn't raining that hard when I left in the morning, and in fact, stopped
    raining completely mid-morning, until the next storm blew in. Yeah, I have
    booties, but most of the time I just wear my commuter shoes. Booties are a
    pain, and I don't pull them on unless I think we're going to get an inch or
    more.

    Right after that first big rain/windstorm was my time for riding
    through puddles and being surprised by their depth, even though
    they were on familiar terrain (I knew there were no potholes
    there.)

    There was a beaut where I shortcut through Mountain View
    Cemetery. I don't know if the puddle still there, I've
    been avoiding that spot since. The City has been building
    some Japanese garden thing in there, and I guess it
    overflowed.

    I also discovered, the hard way, a wicked sinkhole in the
    parking lot by Mr Sub.

    Our tap water is still turbid and ugly, and a "boil your
    tap water" advisory remains in effect.

    cheers,
    Tom

    If a bicyclist rides for 45 minutes at 10 mph when it's 6 degrees C in a
    rainstorm in the dark, upon arrival at home, for how long does she haveto
    shower with water at 41 C before her toes thaw out?

    42... the answer is ALWAYS 42!

    Claire could try drinking a hot beverage that is almost, but not quite
    entirely unlike tea.

    From the Doctor Who (Peter Davison) story: "The Awakening":
    Turlough:"I quite miss that brown liquid they drink here."
    Will Chandler:"Ale?"
    Turlough:"No. Tea."
    Will Chandler:"What be tea?"
    The Doctor:"Oh, a noxious infusion of oriental leaves containing
    a high percentage of toxic acid."
    Will Chandler:"Sounds an evil brew, don't it?"
    The Doctor:"True. Personally, I rather like it."

    On a blustery PNW night, a pint o' grog hits
    the spot. So does clam chowder, minestrone,
    Lipton's (chicken noodle) cup 'o soup, hot
    cocoa, or hot-&-sour soup from your best local
    Chinese take-out place. And wonton noodle soup
    w/ BBQ whatever, and a li'l dish of that chili
    seed + orange rind in oil sauce on the side.
    And gai lan & black bean sauce. And maybe
    some pot stickers.

    cheers,
    Tom

    6C is average for Vancouver this time of year. I ride all year.
    Get Marion in China to send you Exustar bike boots since that is where they
    are made. I find the rubber cleats slippery on shiny floors but the feet
    are warm and dry.

    Just because they are made here doesn't mean they are easy to find
    here.

    I'll ask Ah Zhi how much they cost, hao ma?

    Uh oh. Here we go with the "yumminess of food" thread again.

  8. Jesus, Claire, I had hoped you weren't posting your idiotic [censored]
    anymore. I think your brain got more frozen than your feet did.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Folson: Claire's brain, even frozen, would have you beat at any
    temperature.
