My idea of a debate is where two reasonable, articulate people present compelling arguments on two sides of a question. From my perspective, there's little... pgutwin 2009-08-11T12:25:04-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/07/country_religio.html The Iranians are in a pitch battle for the soul of their nation. Their desire for "freedom" - to choose how to live collectively as a nation - is deep, but is different than the western concept of freedom. Now... pgutwin 2009-07-01T10:00:32-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/06/you_own_the_fut.html If you believe things are broken today, change it. We all own the future - please don't complain to me if it doesn't turn out for you:... pgutwin 2009-06-05T20:07:49-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/06/goose_gander.html I was honestly stunned today: Listening to President Obama say that he's now arranged things so that "What's good for GM is good for the country". OK, that's nice - but why do I and my children (and their children... pgutwin 2009-06-01T21:58:02-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/05/riding_around.html On Monday, I had one of my best rides ever (so far). My dearest was up and out early, and I decided to get an extended ride in quickly. The sun was up and it was about 45 degrees, perfect... pgutwin 2009-05-27T09:45:49-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/05/lilacs_google_e.html A few random notes: The Lilacs are in full bloom along our local roads, and it's making my (almost) daily rides very pleasant. Surprisingly so - I was actually looking forward to my ride yesterday just so I could have... pgutwin 2009-05-24T09:37:17-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/05/eating_the_futu.html You probably know that I'm a bit fussy about food. Certainly doing a lot of cooking has lead me to be a student of good eating, and beyond that I've had plenty of quality time over the years to think... pgutwin 2009-05-20T14:58:22-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/04/one_for_the_roa.html The O-ster did some yeoman work this weekend.

We've finally hit a stretch of reasonable weather, and here's the results: quite a few cows, way more cars than needed, plenty of wind (that's good and... pgutwin 2009-04-17T08:52:30-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/04/lookin_good.html For those keeping score:... pgutwin 2009-04-14T20:57:04-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/04/fixated.html There's a lot of bikes out there, and far be it from me to judge anyone on two wheels (or any other wheel count for that matter). But the whole fixie thing has me a little frustrated. Sure - it's... pgutwin 2009-04-12T00:59:05-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/04/running_back.html I know I've said this before, but I miss running. I've been doing a lot more riding in the last few weeks, and that's been great, but it doesn't replace running. So this morning due to a couple of circumstances,... pgutwin 2009-04-08T07:28:32-05:00 http://www.gutwin.org/mt/archives/2009/04/rider_beware.html I've ridden extensively in both California and Vermont. I had far more problems in California than I've every had in Vermont - both of the times I was involved in bike-car contact was in California.
