Regarding Lael Wilcox's new world record for cycling around the world. I did some quick calculator math, and she averaged 167 miles per day. Riding every day, with no breaks. If she took any breaks, the average miles-per-day goes up. I am a recreational cyclist, and if I get a 10-mile ride, it was a good day. Reminds me of when I ran my one and only marathon in 1995. I did it in 4:20; the winner ran a 2:08 race -- less than half the time. There are super-humans among us, and she is one of them. What an accomplishment!
Read about the horrible lawsuit in Mississippi. It should give any writer pause but for heavens sake, keep at it. It’s crap like this that has shut down a lot of locals; that and hedge fund buy outs.
Also enjoyed the story about that monumental bike ride. Just trying to work out the logistics would break my brain. Not only would one have to figure out a route, transportation, lodging, travel costs, but the most fickle of all travel, weather just to name a few. Egads what an accomplishment on so many levels.

Loved the babies Bill. Good link.
