nice mileage number i guess (2006). in a way i'd rather have Doug's or KM's mileage totals, but i don't and that's my life, and that's fine. that's what goals are for. got out this sunday a.m. for a nice casual road ride under grey skies. this pic is the gravestone of my great uncle, my grandma's brother who died in WWII ('42). many in the family say that in appearance, size, and personality that Roy was alot like my dad, so there's a bit of a connection there. the ZTC is in eastern Louisville among many of the nicest neighborhoods of the 'Ville. i have no clue of the number of graves there, but any military cemetary is an impressive, slightly awe-inspiring display. these truly are the people who sacrificed so that we can have unlimited internet porn, unlimited fast food, the biggest houses and the biggest cars. i don't mean to be flippant, but WWII more than anything created the largeness that is the modern U.S. i respect them completely for the sacrifice, and it's wholeheartedly unfortunate that they had to make such a decision, or at least action. of course, many did not have the choice. here is another pic of the larger cemetery:


after 27m on the road, i ran up to church where the fam was chowing on a church Thanksgiving meal. took the 9.2.5. and it sort of rained on me. i didn't melt.
