Some follow up on the last posting.

Back at it.  Have cycle commuted 1,661 times.  The next milestone will be the 3:1 day, where the number of commute rides will be thrice the number of days remaining for my anticipated retirement.  That's now expected to occur on December 12, 2011.

As a follow up from my panic in Munich at not finding the Clear wireless USB stick.   After we settled in at home, I was looking in the car for something else, and saw it lying on the floor in front of the back seat!  I went to use it, and I got an error message that said that the stick would no longer work.  I called the 800 number of Clear, and they wanted the Serial Number, and looked it up and said that it had been disabled.  This is in spite of our hospital's providing high spot over downtown Portland for one of their antennas, which, to date is still unpaid for.  The stick I was using was one of several that we were given to prove they had decent coverage.
