Hey Wally, what's with the windmill?, Rogers AR, November 28, 2009
Someday I'm going to have a travel day with no issues to think about. Really.
Another observation on tires and tire pressure
Today I ran west on I-40 toward Oklahoma City for a few miles. This section of I-40 is a horribly rough concrete road and now that my teeth are quite sufficiently loose in my jaw I think I'll try 75psi for a while. I like the stability I get at 80psi but my teeth hurt. Maybe 75psi will soften up the harshness a tad without sacrificing too much of the great stability I discussed here yesterday.
Once I got beyond the rough concrete section I had a chance to run about 70mph for the first time with the new tires and dang, wouldn't you know the old tire wheel hop is still there. I must be missing something. I've had a lot of front end work done in the past year and to think I still have an issue up there makes me twitch. Sheesh - will this nonsense never end?

From Knowledge to Wisdom
Wisdom is a product of a process. This process begins with information, proceeds through knowledge, and through what a less gifted poet, Edgar Guest, called "a heap of living," ends in wisdom.
... Wisdom, when it comes, usually arrives late in life. I've known some people who were wise in their early thirties and others who died old without a clue. Most philosophers were of the mind that a person should be at least forty years of age to have enough learning experiences. Now it seems that it is much too young. The step from knowledge to wisdom is the longest one in a person's life.
