Bahamas Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) The Cyclist Who Went Out in the Cold, Tim Moore. British travel writer who rides the old "Iron Curtain" in Europe, on an old German shopping bike - the ones with a hinge and small wheels: The MIFA 900! (about 10,000 km, from Finland to the Baltic Sea). Also just read French Revolutions, riding the route of the Tour De France without much practice, or ability - just a love of the history. Very out of shape, he writes about the historical cheats, the deaths, the funny. He suffers, greatly. But is chronically humorous. He rode a bike with wooden wheels, lead a donkey along a Spanish pilgrimage route, has done lots of fascinating trips. Truly, his historical notes and research are amazing. Edit: And The Cyclist listed above includes bits of Poland 1939, for sure. Lots of East/West history and talking to people, seeing old buildings and the people who's relatives were re-located, controlled, and such.

The President and his supporters, the Palm Beach socialite crowd, various lowlifes, The First Lady and the Secret Service Agent from her protective detail who are doing the horizontal bop, an errant tanning bed, ClintonTyree, a critter remover, and some real snakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain, for the LORD your God will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.
