The distracting boss

The boss reminds me of Wall Street. "Oh look, the Dow at 11,000!" As if that somehow makes up for the previous losses.

So the UK has been getting hit with unseasonably cold weather and it's coming through here too. Scotland has been getting snow and we had snow flurries yesterday. I left for a long bike ride yesterday morning and it was just below freezing. I really dislike the cold but the really bad stuff (it's all relative) won't arrive until January. As long as it's not as bad as last winter.

Last night we met a French guy who cycles all over the world. This year he cycled for a month in Morocco and in a previous ride, he landed at Shanghai and then followed a small road along the Yangtze River. His bike is 22 kilos and the gear, an additional 40 kilos. Looking at the routes, I asked him how his legs managed but he said it's more of a lung issue. Either way, sounds pretty tough, but interesting.
