More reading - two interlinked but unrelated articles

This morning over coffee - actually clicked on it by randomly looking at Google's suggestions for me on the phone, it was down at the bottom, I missed it yesterday I guess, thought it was an old article, but no, published yesterday.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/07/29/kelly-catlin-death-cyclist/

this phrase caught me a bit off guard, like I mentioned on Twitter this morning:

the most emotionless of [medical] specialties: looking through a microscope. And for decades his charge was finding answers that, to others, were invisible — but, if he zoomed in enough, were there somewhere.

But there was much more serious depth given than any other previous story about Kelly.

Also checked out a book recommended by iworedettos: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/249042.Darkness_Visible I haven't started reading it but it is lined up next in the cue.

Of course reading Baldacci's Memory Man series is probably messing with me more than distracting. But it is predictable and the social dysfunction and his memory is maybe a bit personally familiar.  Def think if growing up now I'd be pushed hard to the far end of the spectrum and maybe understood a bit better instead of just being an outcast. But hey - I've made it this far somehow. Failing more than succeeding but still chugging along.

The related but not item is the article up on Velonews about the Field of Dreams.

been talking with my brother about doing something like this at his farm. There is the space, but is there the draw? Would be even better to find a spot somewhere in PVD or EP to set something like this up.

Smackdown tonight - it is hot, but i'm pretty well adapted to the heat bu now. not fast but hey - I am what I am.
