Tonight's cocktail: Peat's Dragon. For the single malt, I used Évadé, a French single malt I bought in the airport on the way home from Normandy. The logo on the glass is that of Chemist Spirits of Asheville, NC. 🍸

The other thing is, it was relatively easy for me to sustain a faster pace (until my legs gave out around mile 28) than I normally do because I'm usually riding in a place with lots of hills, and this course was relatively flat. As a result... I may frame this one.

A screencap from Strava showing personal milestones from today's ride (going back to my bike purchase in 2020):

5 miles; 2 best time, 19:07 (15.7MPH)
10K; 2nd best time, 23:45 (15.7MPH)
10 miles; personal best, 39:02 (15.4MPH)
20K; personal best, 49:23 (15.1MPH)
30K; personal best, 1:16:24 (14.6MPH)
40K; 3rd best, 2:10:35 (11.4MPH)
50K; personal best, 2:42:56 (11.4MPH)

When I was a kid, my older brother had this wastebasket in his bedroom.

A brown wastebasket. At the top are the words "PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the Seal of the President. There are black & white headshots (or paintings) of various presidents, with their names and dates of office. Pride of place, in the center with the largest picture, was the then-current president, Richard M. Nixon, whose date was just "1969" because at the time he was still in office.

Post one (1) photo of a painting that you took with your very own hands. The photo, that is, not the painting.

Painting on a shop window in Bayeux, France. A cartoon soldier in a khaki uniform is smiling and holding up a newspaper with the headline "6 JUIN 1944 VICTOIRE." Several red poppies are included around the soldier & the paper. Near the bottom, what I assume is the artists' signature in white, "PASCAL & GÉNO"

I understand it’s National Bourbon Day or some such.

A mint julep cup filled with ice, with a metal straw and mint sprig sticking out. Not visible: the actual mint julep, below the ice.

Reading "When the Moon Hits Your Eye" by John Scalzi, and now can't get this out of my head.

A photo of a white plate. The center of the plate has a cartoon drawing in black showing Lionel Richie's face and a wedge of cheese. Around the edge of the plate are the words "HELLO IS IT BRIE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?"

QRP with a doctor you trust more to handle the hantavirus outbreak than RFK JR

Dr. Leonard McCoy (played by DeForest Kelley) from Star Trek. Dr. McCoy is seated at a desk which has a computer console, a PADD, and a handheld medical scanner. He's holding a stylus in his right hand.

I wouldn't call it "ugly," but the extremely utilitarian-looking tower built on to the UNC-Greensboro library in the 70s stood out quite a bit from the mostly-brick architecture of the rest of the main campus buildings.
