It feels like a bowel obstruction, from cancer operation scarring, they hospitalized me several times before for this. Since 3 this morning. Trying to resolve it here in place.
I am not pessimistic about it resolving itself. Once before I got it to do that years ago in DC.

My father's house. Unspeakably beautiful. Mansions, Lakeshore Estates, poverty by comparison.

Cycling. A whole new benchmark. A whole new level? I think so.
The last several weeks have been 4000 calorie days, including 1500 calorie base metabolism. These are huge days. And yet today called for even more. Cloudy all day. A sense that getting over the bridge Friday instead of Saturday was a wise thing to do. This meant a 60-mile day very efficient. It was accomplished. And it seems that a whole new level of awareness occurred in terms of cycling technique, building on everything of recent weeks, constant velocity legs at the perineum. Game-changing? Probably, but we'll know more soon.

Just under 30 Watts electric per miles seems to be our maximum efficiency, 50 watts per mile total. Wonderful.
If I Target eight or eight and a half miles an hour when I'm peddling as opposed to coasting downhill, that seems to be the Sweet Spot, slower than that seems to get into motor efficiency issues, faster apparently wind drag starts becoming significant. And eight or eight and a half miles an hour works perfectly well for me. That's about 40 miles per day, recently half of the electricity or no more than two-thirds that the sun is giving me, and about as long as my but can stand, and about three or four thousand calories per day beyond base metabolism which is an additional 1500 calories per day. This is absolutely the most wonderful machine that Khanh created, and Rex inspired. It is such an ethical way for James to exist, such an incredibly light footprint on the children's future, and it is very powerful at stirring the occasional soul. Below is a rough estimate of how the next 30 days will be spent.
And then in a Flash I was driving through Detroit....
Oh what Jesus would do to these rich white mcmansion blue-eyed West Michigan Folk. The money changers in the temple in his day were just a warm-up.
Achingly beautiful this western shore of Michigan. I had no idea.
[ except for the disgusting, wretched, evil entitled White hoarding.]
Dozens of photos of this beauty added every day at my blog by clicking here when on the blog.
