Keeping The Bicycle Straight

I’ve been riding my bike to work – for the “Bike to Work” month of May, and now beyond.  Somehow, I’ve made the habit of pedaling mostly with my right leg.  I’ve discovered the best way to use both legs equally and to ride efficiently is to keep the bike in a straight line.  Hmm, wonder why it took me all this time to realize this.  There is a lesson there.

The Putins Support Is The Thing

Russian President Vladimir Putin was seen with his wife, Lyudmila, on Thursday night for the first time in a year, at a production of the ballet “La Esmeralda,” and took advantage of the occasion to tell his nation that they are getting divorced.

“We hardly see each other, and we each have our own lives,” Lyudmila Putin said. “I don’t like publicity, and flying wears me down. We will remain very close people forever, and I am grateful to Vladimir Vladimirovich” — again, the polite form of address — “that he still supports me.”

I wonder what she has on him that he still supports her.  She’s lucky she isn’t in the Gulag somewhere.
