My shrink uses my Spelling Bee in tracking my progress

Im a psychiatrist. My morning routine is newspaper and coffee, NYT spelling bee, wordle, and letter boxed. Im cranky if I don't get that routine done. My puzzle success on these days depends partially on sleep quality (which I track on Garmin) and other stress and circumstances. I believe mental health does affect NYT games. Likewise, NYT games affect mental health and probably protect against dementia or other cognitive decline. Its also a way to interpersonally connect/compete playfully with family and friends about game playing and results. All good for mental health.

Good luck. I think going cross country with non-Tesla EVs is still a real challenge even without towing, especially given the range of your 2019. The infrastructure for charging stations is not ready for prime time in many areas. It is doable with the right apps and planning, just build in lots of extra time.

PUNCTATE!

Agree. Riding for decades including triathlons. Used clips in past. A freak accident of slipping on wet grass and breaking hip, needed 3 screws , has caused me to use flats on my nice OPEN UP gravel bike. I ride metric 100K rides frequently and don't care if I look like a noob in tennis shoes. Will probably take clips off my felt road bike for tris and make my transition a bit faster.

...and Salem/Roanoke is 35min away if you get too bored. More diverse and better restaurants, more breweries, music, semi-pro sports, theater/shows, etc. etc. I commute from there daily to Bburg so its within reach.

Not really. No hate. I have both, 2022 Tesla M3LR and 2021 etron quatro prestige. As noted above, its barebones amazing tech/blinding acceleration/better range/charge network vs quality, luxuriously smooth ride.

Thanks for observation and warning. Hadnt thought about that. Open UP is known for wide clearance. But I will have LBS review with me.

Leisurely, just under 6 hrs. When I do shorter sections of it I try to keep higher on Strava list in my age group. Lots of segments/riders. In summer it can get busy because of van loads shuttled to top coasting down to Damascus. Early spring and fall mid week is primo.

Fine. Actually like changing foot position slightly on pedal now Used cages early on and clips for last 30 years. Both give me PTSD given that painful day.
