Milestones, the New York Times, and maybe I'll add more later. Who knows?




Yea! Second milestone! Rode 19 miles this morning in one hour, not a bad clip. Soaked me down good, Cindy wouldn't give me a hug afterward. Can you believe it? Made it to Corbin, KY. Might take a side trip to visit the Colonel Sanders and KFC Museum "where it all started". And they have a couple of live theater companies, go figure.

The New York Times said today that it has removed the photos from a story on blighted housing in the US because they had been digitally altered by the photographer, a freelancer in the UK. I admire the NYT. When they get caught red-handed, boy, they step right up and ask the tough questions of their sources and then when the outcries start over honesty and integrity, they go ahead and succomb to the pitchforks and torches. Other papers tend to check out their sources first and then NOT publish unless they can verify the truth of the story.

I like YOUR sweat, Cindy. Dew on the morning grass always makes grass stick to my shoes. Yech.
