Nah, my travelling days are mostly behind me now. Also some may take

You say that now, but what if someone suddenly said that your local

You are also (maybe) getting a pro women's football team in (maybe) 2025...

There are quite a few Canadian women playing in top leagues in England
and France. I doubt a (maybe) national league (in 2025) will be able to
afford those, though.

Which is some accomplishment, I guess, with no non-college league of
your own, and a lot of players going to US colleges or to pro clubs.

Our national team is there too - won their first game against China.
For utterly nefarious reasons (CAPITALISM!) I can't see the games
because some foreign satellite station won the broadcast rights.

I don't use Reddit. Also I understand it is on a trajectory similar to
twitter^W 'X' lately.
Also from earlier experience with less authorised streams of cycling,
it's a struggle I'm not up to at that time of day...

Hi Ry. Last I heard you were in Arizona, which makes that theory rather

So, how is every little thing?

Or - and this is just a theory, the inclination to longsightedness that
comes with age counteracts a pre-existing condition of shortsightedness.
It happens sometimes.

My sightedness changed a bit once my blood sugar started being regulated.

If the router is outside the freezer yes.

I don't think temperature as such would be a factor. With a wired
connection on the other hand it would theoretically be faster.
