Silly Site o' the Day

I seem to have a bit of the stomach ailment that had been plaguing Robin yesterday, so no biking for me. My appetite isn't affected, just what food does to me after I eat it.

I wish we were a bit more like Great Britain, six or so weeks and done, no electoral college, ranked choice voting for parties... but hey, we can't even get our act together on healthcare and the metric system yet.
