August 8th, 2019: Those things I got at the Performance going out of business sale (new trunk, new yellow pannier, new lock, new helmet, etc., etc.) are getting a lot of use. The store really did close. Sad they are gone...!

Went to a candidate forum at Google
in September. The only candidate that gave me that "She is worth

and my efforts wouldn't make a difference.
October 17, 2018: Came across this

political systems.
August 30, 2018: Playing with the
random article button on wikipedia I came across a
Chet
Bowers biopage. Fascinating ideas!
