Temperatures continue to drop but snow not expected anytime soon in Running Springs. However snow before Halloween is not rare. Haven't been playing much Borderlands lately and hoping to jump online again to max out my first character.
Finished reading Bitter Seeds by Ian Tregillis and found it a bit entertaining. Will read the next one in the series. With this book I finished my Goodreads Challenge which was one of my new year's resolutions. I will keep reading at my pace to the end of the year to see how many books I end up reading in a year. I will try to go for 40. My next book will be a SciFi classic in the Foundation by Issac Asimov. Came across Star Wars: From The Adventures Of Luke Skywalker ghost written by Alan Dean Foster in my brother's container of books.
Did you know there are more than just 2 candidates for presidency of the United States of America? If you didn't then the media has done a great job brainwashing you. Here is a list.
PSA - Coffee + Chili = Not a good combination.
I've managed for a while to not get involved in discussing cycling scandals but I had to point out that George Hincapie, now retired has finally admitted to cheating. Just post a generic statement saying you're sorry and saying you want to clean up the sport but not before I retire. Never apologize for taking from others and stealing money. But, these news were just the beginning of what came later that day. The USADA released to the public their case and findings. I have read about half of the case thus far and it doesn't shock me as over the years many knew but now we can all put the pieces in place and timelines. Simply amazing what Lance has done to the sport. I truly hope in the end he suffers as much as he has made others. This man not only lied repeatedly over the years but stole much from so many riders in the sport. Riders whom never got that chance to make the breakthrough to professional cycling because of his cheating and helping others cheat. He even took from his "friends" the reason why they loved the sport. Lance managed to cover himself with his Livestrong Foundation and using that power/money to threaten many. One question I have had for years and am not afraid to ask - Is Lance's cancer a cause of his many years of doping? USADA only went as far as 1998 to start their claims, but I am sure it started much earlier than that. Over the next few weeks we will see this growing and more may come out and I'm sure Lance will continue to lie and call others liars as he has done for so many years. Either way looks like his sanctions will not be much. I only hope riders and companies start to sue him as he lied to so many and broke so many agreements. We seem to live in a world that it is OK to do bad things but as long as you confess to them it makes them alright. Here is the legal complaint >>
