3 Noggins for me, and a short bulldog  

  

Was off the bike for a trip to my sister's lakehouse - we did had a blast, 
but I was happy to get back on the bike this weekend, and sweat a bit, even 
in our dog days.  But there were cool things to do at the lake.

Organic tobacco stores differently than processed pipe tobacco (even the 
"natural" stuff that has no chemicals or pesticides added after curing). 
You store it dry and dark and it will continue to age (a good thing). If 
you store it humidified at 70% (like in a humidor) it will easily mold 
after a month or two.

Pipe tobacco will last a long time. Even years if in an air tight 
container. They even make these little moisture tabs you can stick to the 
lid. I agree, smoking a pipe is one of life's simple pleasures. 
Contemplative. I'll smoke mine maybe once a month. There are bike rides and 
then there are BIKE RIDES.

Cheers.

You would be far better off smoking either cannabis or horse shit than 
tobacco.   Both are entirely organic, by the way...

Dare I ask what it is yoou are smoking in that pipe? For most of us tobacco is

Re: [RBW] Wee Ride Report

Aye, Patrick, that sort of pipe.

I was delighted to find organic whole leaf Virginia tobacco (cured three 
years) finally available after being relegated to cigars for about a year 
as that was the only organic I could find. Wow is that wonderful stuff. 
De-stem it, fold/roll it into a cigar shape and cut away at it with 
scissors to get the pipe tobacco like great grandpa had.  And clean enough 
that my wife was excited to have me smoke it out in the family room and 
kitchen, not just my hobbit hole (that's never happened before!).

Here's some reasons not to take up a pipe:

Lip cancer, tongue cancer, stomach cancer, throat cancer are probly associated 
with hitting the pipette...

Though it does conjure up romantic ideas of British cycling

Re: [RBW] Wee Ride Report

"Pipe". This sort?

[image: Inline image 1]

15 years after quitting a 25 year cigarette habit I was very tempted to
take up a pipe (again) when a friend gave me a very nice briar and a can of
top unscented Virginia. I didn't, though.

Tell me why I shouldn't take it up again.

I have to say that the art (for art it is) of pipe smoking, with good briar
and good Virginia, must be one of the most pleasant sensory pleasures
granted to man. (Well, perhaps after *that* and *that*).

I stoutly maintain that pipe smoking (good briar, no damned scented
tobacco) is very Rivendellian. (Expensive and arcane. Juust kidding.)

  * "Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never
was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it.
Where is there a place for you to be? No place.*
* "Nothing outside you can give you any place," he said. "You needn't to
look at the sky because it's not going to open up and show no place behind
it. You needn't to search for any hole in the ground to look through into
somewhere else. You can't go neither forwards nor backwards into your
daddy's time nor your children's if you have them. In yourself right now is
all the place you've got. If there was any Fall, look there, if there was
any Redemption, look there, and if you expect any Judgment, look there,
because they all three will have to be in your time and your body and where
in your time and your body can they be?*
* "Where in your time and your body has Jesus redeemed you?" he cried.
"Show me where because I don't see the place. If there was a place where
Jesus had redeemed you that would be the place for you to be, but which of
you can find it?” -- *Flannery O'Connor,* Wise Blood  *

[RBW] Wee Ride Report

[Deacon Patrick]

8 miles on the Quickbeam on a route I often do. Down to Holy Rosary and back. 
Recovering from a number of things that hit last week, I wasn't sure if I would 
be able to get out today. I did my push-ups and squats, and that helped get 
things flowing to the point I was on the edge, so I decided to give the ride a 
go. Met the family after Mass (I can't go because of the scents and other 
stimulation), and they joined me at a nearby park, where I sat on the periphery 
with a pipe and watched three families of kids play Capture the Flag. One of 
the dads came over and we chatted a while. Then I rode home. WHt amazing, 
simple joy!

I'm struck once again at the wondrous gift the bike is and what it helps make 
possible! Rides like this are less about the bike or ride and more about what 
they make possible.

With abandon,
Patrick
