Corporations

What are corporations?  In the simplest terms, these are legal entities formed for business relationships.  Corporations are not created by the external world, or by laws of nature.  They are not subject to the laws of thermodynamics.  They are creations of the human mind.  As such, they can be revised or destroyed.

Why not?

Back on the bike

Got back on the bike this past week.  Rode out from Portsmouth through Newcastle and back, with a stop at Nostimo's for lunch.  That was Thursday - K and I took the day off and enjoyed the good weather in the morning.  Rained like hell in the afternoon.

K went to Vermont on Friday afternoon.  I stayed home.  On Saturday, I went for a longer ride - 28 miles on the loop through Barrington and Lee and back up Route 4.  Christ, the hills on Route 4 are made for billy-goats.  It was good to sweat and hurt a bit to make the bike go.

Followed that ride up with a shorter loop on Sunday around the lake.  There's some disagreement between my bike odometer and Mapmyride.com about the distance.  My bike tells me it's about 15 miles and the GPS software says about 13.5.  I'm thinking that what the mapping software misses is all the hills, adding a small percentage to the distance.

In any event, maintaining the commitment to biking is my priority for the coming week.  Monday will be a recovery day, and I'll use the lake loop on Tuesday and Thursday.  We'll see how I feel at the end of the week before I schedule a weekend ride.
