You know, you don’t have to ride like a lunatic, right?

68? That’s young. I remember my 103 year old grandmother telling towards the end how she wished she could get around like she did when she was young like when she was 80.

I asked The Google AI…

What's more dangerous riding motorcycles or skiing?

“When comparing the dangers of riding motorcycles to skiing, the data suggests that skiing is more dangerous. Skiing has a higher rate of serious injuries and hospitalizations compared to motorcycling. Motorcycles, while still a potentially dangerous activity, are statistically less dangerous than skiing. However, it is important to note that both activities require responsible safety practices and adherence to regulations to minimize risks.”

On topic, Celebrini just got paid. Gretzky money at 20. Not bad. Wayne was in his 30’s before he was making that kind of money. California is going to get about 2 million of it though. Bummer.

Ted, give me at least a couple weeks notice when you get a date for your track thing. I’m not paying last minute air fare even if MSFT is going HAM today

P.S. This should be fun
