Very few things in life are as ego-inflating as driving home on a beautiful day after playing soccer, and finding a red Mustang convertible occupied by three attractive college-age women keeping pace with you so they can ask you to follow them at their exit.
Missed opportunity, perhaps, but the flattery of the request is likely […]

Mazda’s Rev It
Up event was impressively done. I’m impressed at the resources they’re putting towards wooing driving enthusiasts. Unfortunately, we only got two competitive runs, and my second was a complete fiasco (hit cone, slowed for course worker on the track, litter from previous driver flew in my face, shifted up too far…). […]
Hypocrisy or just confusion

I’m sure his intentions are good, but Jim Shrewsbury believes that the downtown renaissance is no longer a “goofy, crazy idea” because the banks tell him so:
“When the upper-middle class, white business community thinks it’s a good idea, you can bet they’ve looked at every angle of it and it’s a good indicator if they’re […]

I progress slowly through Freedom
Evolves as bedside reading. Still fighting the common resistance to determinism Dennett calls incompatiblism, he now demonstrates that the naturalist Robert Kane’s hope of introducing an indeterminate element into decision making is based on defining a container where the indeterminism can act. Dennett carries this approach to the conclusion […]
Better than chocolate

Somehow we came to contemplating this deep question last night: what is more enjoyable than eating a brownie. Our hypothetical brownie, of course, is the perfect texture and flavor for your tastes, and is unencumbered by nutritional guilt. In other words, the reader is instructed to consider their favorite food.
Clearly, most everyone will […]
Rivers

The pizza ride last week was only 45 miles, but today I decided to try the Arch to Alton. That is, the Riverfront Trail to the Chain of
Rocks Bridge over to the MCT
Confluence and West
Alton trails. 58 miles, 15 mph average. Flat, but windy. Lesson of the day? 20 mile […]
