you tell me

Now that bike racing is more or less over in MN for the season, I'm losing my motivation to ride. Instead, I've been working and drinking too much, and I find myself pondering many of life's important questions:

1. What if local bike racing had power rankings?
2. Why am I at work instead of racing at the track right now?
3. How nice would it be if I could train/race at the track during the winter instead of riding a trainer?
4. Why did Flandis have to go and do that?
5. How does Smithers have time to update his blog multiple times a day? It's very impressive - he's always got updates and they're always interesting. (And Baby Smithers choosing the Tour de France winner...priceless). Even his guest blogger, (dis)pencer followed suit with the multiple updates.
   
6. How can we inexperienced bloggers keep up with the Smithers?
7. Why will MN cyclists show up in droves for a snowy road race in April or to do hundreds of circles at Opus in the rain in May, but won't show up for a race in August? (Actually, I know why, but it's frustrating.)
8. How did Karla do that?
9. Why do my legs ache every morning when I climb the three flights of stairs at work?
10. Why is it "cute" when babies and toddlers have pudgy thighs, but the opposite of cute when adults have them?
11. Which NASCAR drivers will make cameos in "Talladega Nights"?
12. How can I learn French in a month?
13. How many bikes is too many?
14. How does Stenson lose her cell-phone and car keys every week? But more importantly, how is it possible that Stenson can start her car by using her brakes and accelerator to "pump in" a code?
    
15. Why did some asshole steal my mountain bike?
16. Why does Donimator think Hummers are so cool?
    
17. Why can't I fall asleep at night without putting my Burt's Bees chapstick on first?
18. How can I have my femur broken in half, separated an inch, and recover in 6 months - but then have a little teeny weeny arthroscopic hip surgery, and it still bothers me 9 months later when I try to put my pants on or clip into my bike pedal?
19. Why are Nalgene's the only water bottle that don't leak?
20. Who ever came up with a "work week" being 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week? And why did other people go along with that?
