    Dear self--
    Please resist the urge to make buckeyes this afternoon. They're really Not Good for you. (Though they are delicious.)
    Also, call the damn bike shop.[/QUOTE]

    You are talking about the peanut butter/chocolate buckeyes right? If so, you can make them and send them my way. NE doesn't have a state food candy.

    I should have picked up a couple of cans of Skyline Chili over the weekend while in Ohio for my DH, but didn't think of it.

    And as usual there were plenty of state troopers from Columbus to Dayton out on patrol.

    I am! I didn't actually make them today, but I might tomorrow if we've got enough powdered sugar. My bike is ready for pickup, so a few rides will balance them out, right? (Now that I think about it, they might make decent ride food if they didn't melt. Peanut butter and sugar...)

    I found a chili recipe that's close to Cincinnati style, but for some reason they keep forgetting that it's not supposed to be spicy. I'm still tweaking the seasonings on that...

    Did you live in Ohio at some point?

    20+ years ago the conventional wisdom was that that was the most heavily patrolled stretch of freeway in the USA.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's still true. Thank goodness I live on the *other* side.

    It extends now...pretty much Columbus to Indy. At least the last time I was there.

    Don't be a pushover when you call the contractor later. The new room shouldn't be leaking already, and he needs to know that his electrician sucks (or that he can't communicate effectively).

    Dear fellow cyclists,

    When my DH and I go by you at a much faster pace than you were keeping, I totally appreciate you busting a move to catch up to us and hang on - that takes a good amount of effort. However, it really is impolite to latch onto two riders you don't know, without saying a word, and sitting in the draft for 5+ miles. Yes, I know it was windy and you needed a break, but I don't know your style, and you don't know mine. It makes me uncomfortable, especially at 20 - 25 mph.

    So please, next time we pass you, just acknowledge my hello.

    Thanks!

    Dear garlic:

    Thanks for being awesome!! And making my bland dinner pretty amazing!



    Dear earwigs:

    You are some of the most disgusting creatures I've ever seen, and I do NOT appreciate you hiding in the clean laundry. STAY OUT OF MY HOUSE!! Even the cats are so disgusted that they won't play with you (and believe me, I've tried to encourage them).
