We are spending a little time in Shelter Cove. We are riding Paradise Royale today. It's a fantastic trail system built to IMBA specs. This place is in the middle of nowhere. The drive to get here is gnarlier than the riding, IMHO. The mountains around here are steep ups and downs. Anyway, we opted to leave the trailer at home. We brought it here once, and that was stressful. So, I have rented us this cozy beach suite that over looks some tide pools and a dark sand beach on the Pacific Ocean. We have a deck that is steps off the beach. The accommodations are swanky. It's got a full kitchen, fireplace and a separate bedroom. It could only get better with a Jacuzzi tub overlooking the ocean, but I dream. The beaches here are rugged, rocky and have dangerous rip currents. It is super beautiful though. You can hear the ocean from inside the room. There was a bunch of seals out here last night. There was a ton of them. They were lounging on the rocks and hunting for fish or whatever they eat. Last time we were here, we saw a couple of local kids riding bikes. Those were the only two we saw ALL weekend long at the camp and trail system. I am in love with this place. My husband told me that we can't live here. There is only that one trail network here. There is one market and it is way up this crazy hill. It's like a maze of steep roads that are mostly interconnected. No doubt, it would bore me in a week, but I am living the dream right now as I pretend that I am living here.6 points

I showed up for my flight home from training in Montreal yesterday. I talk to a gal waiting at the gate. It turns out she was an airline employee travelling standby. She had been waiting for 6 hours. She mentions there are 20 other employees in the same boat plus deadheading crews. When we board, I notice the flight deck was empty. We waited onboard patiently and I was seated next to a deadheading pair of pilots that were positioning for a flight from Toronto. Then the cabin announcement after a 20 minute delay.. We are waiting for the pilots to show up but they are on a delayed inbound flight. They should be here in 20 minutes. An hour later we are still without crew as the inbound flight had no gate to park at and the pilots could not deplane. A few minutes later it was announced that the pilots would now be out of duty time and could not fly the leg to Toronto. Sigh... I looked at the Captain next to me and said "No volunteers?" A few minutes later his and the First Officers phones ring and we were underway! It is almost like I have worked in the industry for 30 some odd years.5 points

Rain all night and now through the morning. After a few errands I think I'll work in the basement for a while. There appears to be a 3-4 hour window between rain events where I might get a ride in this afternoon. Hope you have a great day!3 points

I learned to make pies by watching my mom. She was the best, I was very good and made lots of pies for every occasion. When I started paying attention to health and nutrition I pretty much quit making pies.3 points

Airports are fascinating places. It's better than a trip to the zoo. Keep those reports coming. I love watching people in airports. It almost makes the whole affair of travelling worthwhile. It's fun imagining the lives of the people you are watching.3 points

New plane, new gate, new departure time. One hour delay. Not too bad. surreal moment. I go to take a dump and while I'm sitting there, two people come in. One occupies the stall next to me. They two are talking to each other and sound like girls. Yep, two girls. Damn did I go in the wrong bathrooms? Wait till they leave and confirm I was in the correct bathroom. How do two girls not see the urinals. Whatever.3 points

There was a show on my local PBS station this morning showing how to make sweet potato pie. Armies have been assembled and enemies defeated in less time and effort than this stupid pie took to construct. I just kept thinking about all the shopping for crap and the massive clean-up afterwards. Give me Sara Lee any day.2 points

Maybe when people said that it was his lifelong dream to be a police officer, they didn't know he really meant a Somali police officer. Y'know, the kind who take bribes, act as hired muscle, restrict freedom of speech, are fully penetrated by Islamic militants, and are generally ineffective at law enforcement? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-somalia-security-idUSBRE9420OU201305032 points

I was camping in Colorado, no bugs, no rain, no tent. Heard rustling in the dry leaves around the sleeping bag, started thing about Rattlesnakes. The biggest beetle I've ever seen came crawling along, I freaked and smashed him. A few minutes later another one came along. I smashed him and spent the night worrying if I'd started a war with some kind of super beetle.2 points

Thanks guys. I went out for my b-day ride this morning, but had to cut it short at 35 miles. I flatted, then had a pump malfunction after I changed it and couldn't get more than 30 psi in the rear tire on the 3 speed. I made to a gas station, only to find that their aircompressor was out of order. Then my sunglasses broke in half. I figured the universe was trying to tell me something, so I threw in the towel. I might go back out this evening and try to finish the last 23 miles.2 points
