A typical home-to-work commute takes just over three minutes: from the garage door to the office door: 1.4 km, 3:30, the first half downhill, about 40 km/h, the second half is the climb back up.

Today, after all those snows and storms, a scent of spring has appeared – plus 62 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 17 degrees Celsius. And sun!

Stopped by a professional bike shop. The cheapest shifters

(These are the gear levers on the handlebars) turned out to be $260, but they do have some cool helmets

Toyota even thought about those locked in the trunk. My Camry

Context: Speaking on February 16 at the US — ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) summit in California, Obama stated that Russia is one of the strongest military powers, and “a bunch [of Syrian] rebels, obviously, are not capable of competing with their weaponry against the world’s second most powerful army.”

Rogozin tweets: “Well, maybe not the first yet, but definitely not the second, Mr. President!)”

But he didn’t lie, right.

Turning into a little media outlet 😉

On BeingInAmerica, there’s a great story by Lisa about her first day at school – her first blog post. She really put a lot of effort into it!

Last time I shared Lisa’s diary from 8th grade. Today, Masha from Spring Hill brought her own diary – which also serves as a “textbook”. The correct name is Planner. Follow the link for a PDF with my comments.
