The last 20 days didn't feel good. First of all my bike had pain, secondly I had pain and thirdly the rain showers after the July heath were extraordinary.
Today the yearly time trial was planned and my 10th time wasn't bad. Okay I was slower than last year. It doesn't matter, next year I have something to beat.
Yesterday my mother called. She doesn't know what to do with her possible retirement in 8 months or work another two years. It's a decision which could have financial and emotional consequences. I don't know whether she overlooked it thoroughly.
A colleague told me that without work his life would be very different. A week off is enough for him, then he likes to get back to work.
He told me what he did last week as work for his church. He was witness of clearing 80 graves on the graveyard. They were 40 to 50 years old. All that's left are bones, but in maybe these are the first graves with people who had clothing which hardly decomposes. So he saw bones with white socks still on. Well, have a strong stomach.
And as time ticks further New York will have it's own automatic where you can get food out of the wall. Just put 1,2 dollar in the holder, turn the holder and get the food. We have done it for years already in the Netherlands. Come and try it in Amsterdam.
On the long run you cannot win from the ticking time...
Take care anyone
