    I wonder if there's something unusual about pollen in the US. I've never seen people have such severe allergies to pollens abroad.

    I think it has to be local honey, made from local pollen. If it's filtered or processed apparently it changes something in the honey - it has to be plain and simple bee juice. I don't eat a lot of honey but really enjoy it when I do.

    Celebrating Baptismal Birthdays

    That's not something I've ever come across. I was christened as a child but I have no idea what date, and to be honest I don't really care. I was baptised by full immersion as an adult although it was a lot of years ago and I don't remember the date of that either.

    Republican jockeying for Primary season is upon us.

    OK, so at least it's people who are at least moderately Republican. I sometimes wonder about polls, given that in 2016 the only question was whether Clinton would win by a big margin or a huge margin.

    I did the sprint repeats. The sprint pace was hard to sustain, especially since I had a few of them on uphill sections, but I got through it even if I didn't meet the sprint speed target every time. I wish they were more configurable - the suggested workout gave me 3-minute recovery times...

    Republican jockeying for Primary season is upon us.

    Do the polls represent all voters, Republican voters, or the most vocal Republican voters? It always seems the most vocal on both sides are the more extreme ones, so the candidates that might create the loudest roars among the party faithful are potentially the ones least likely to appeal to...

    Today's suggested workout is sprint repeats. I'm not sure whether to do that or do something else. I like the anaerobic bursts of sprint repeats but keep finding they align with awkward parts of my routes - the steep hill with the blind curve, the bit where I have to cross the main road, the...

    Did you try eating local honey? We have friends who are beekeepers who have mentioned that locally made honey (natural, unflltereed etc) is supposed to be good for that. We eat their honey because it tastes good and we like to support local producers, but I've often wondered if it does help. I...

    Dating after 30

    I can't speak from experience (I'm assuming you're talking about dating new people, rather than taking a spouse on a date). From talking to friends who are single/divorced/widowed after 30 it seems the biggest issues are emotional baggage and kids from previous relationships. Combining...

    Do you feel safe outside

    I feel safe. Partly because I live in an area where crime is practically non-existent, partly because I'm a big guy and look like someone best not messed with, and partly because I'm allowed to carry weapons to defend myself.

    Republican jockeying for Primary season is upon us.

    These days maybe they secretly identify as white people. You never know, especially in this weird world where duh feelz seem to trump reality at every turn. I found it odd that it was apparently sexist to not support Clinton in 2016 but not sexist to not support Palin in 2008. I just figured...

    Energy Saving Tips:

    Anything that keeps warm will be an energy hog. Years ago I had a really nice coffee maker that had a shelf for espresso cups, that it kept warm so your coffee cup wouldn't get cold. When you're only drawing an ounce of coffee into a cup it matters if the cup is cold. The trouble is it drew a...

    A personal pleasure

    That's a tricky one. Eating out can be the kind of thing that adds up, although sometimes big ticket items for other things take a single chunk out of household finances but then mostly leave it alone for months or years.

    Triangles in hymns

    Not all contemporary songs are full of fluff like this, although a depressing number of them are. If you read the words to songs from places like Bethel you'd either wonder what they were talking about or figure it was all about me me me. From what I can see Hillsong ranges from some quite good...

    Republican jockeying for Primary season is upon us.

    Vivek Ramaswamy sounds like an ethnic name. It would be awesome to see him run against Dopey Joe because, following the Democrats own logic in 2008 and 2016, the only reason not to vote for him would be racism and so we'd see just how serious the Democrats were about Not Being Racist. I suspect...

    It's surprising how they add up. I got 2000 steps just walking around gathering stuff up to do a fairly small job and then clean up the dust. My wife can often get 4-5000 steps when she mows the lawn, with extra steps moving about tending to her plants. She likes mowing the lawn - I used to do...

    Oldest thing you're wearing today

    Right now the oldest thing I'm wearing is my T-shirt. It's an old scabby thing that I use for working on the house and exercising. It's probably 6-7 years old and it shows. It was a promotional freebie so I've never really felt the need to protect it. It's baggy, faded, and has paint on it. But...

    A relatively easy workout today. My suggested workout was a base level run, although it turned into more of a tempo level run. Not a huge difference, just a little faster than intended. I still find it hard to keep my pace as slow as the suggestions for a base workout.

    You watched on VHS

    I honestly have no idea. I don't remember the last time I even had a VHS capable device in my home. If not for the antique offerings at thrift stores I don't know I could tell you the last time I even set eyes on a VHS tape.

    That's harder work than you'd expect, until you actually do it. My wife would often spend time tinkering with her plants and comment how tired she was. I thought it was pretty easy work, until the first time I tried it. Totally different muscle groups to anything I was familiar with exercising...
