Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 310)

Completely agree! 

My husband and I started and run a non-profit that is dedicated to teaching sustainability and systems thinking to children.  We do this primarily by taking kids to natural environments, local farms, and some businesses (biodiesel cooperative, local food coop, landfill, water treatment facility) and using teachable moments to encourage this kind of thinking.  It's kind of a two pronged approach--let kids have supervised, unstructured play in lots of different natural environments so they develop a love for nature, and teach them how to think critically and make choices about protecting and caring for the natural environment.  I absolutely do the things that Salty mentioned and for me it's just an extension of the choices I make everyday.  However, for many it is not so automaticand integrated, and it seems that because Starbucks places value in sustainability practices, having recycling available at stores should be a given.

Catching everyone up on what's in my logs: I'm 80% sure I have a stress fracture.  Going to the orthopedic doc at 2:30 this afternoon to check.

I fell down the stairs this morning. I have rug burn on my left forearm and I'm going to have a nasty bruise on my hip and butt in a few days. I also have a nasty claw mark/bruise from when I tried to rescue my cat from a dog on Saturday.

When it rains, it pours, huh?  I'm trying not to get down, but sometimes it's hard.

ok...so my bike has had a cateye since I bought it, but it's on the front wheel. Kinda silly for me to leave it there when most of my rides are trainer, right?

Any trickiness to moving it to back wheel?

Not really. The only question I can think of is if the signal has enough range as it'll be farther away. I know of cateye, but not as familiar with their stuff. Older or more entry level things may not be as strong there, but don't know until you try.

USA Pro Challenge was awesome (even on TV) and Sagan is a BEAST!

A couple of completely random thoughts from the weekend:

Salty, I watched a show about the woman that lives at the pyramid on top of Smith Tower. That is pretty cool.

Why do Brits take out R's at the end of words that have them and put them on words that don't?

Yanti, contrats on 50,000. I'm truly glad you have so much to say.

[... for that link. looks like it'll be an evening bike ride for my section.

I enjoyed the George commentary.  Not sure that Sagan should have done the "wheelie" with the New Belguim cruiser.

If anyone wants in on my September running challenge: http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=499066&posts=1#M4839287

I know, I'm early 

We talked about that too. I think he could wheelie just about anything. Dat boy got skillz

Not all of the Cateye will read on the back well.  You have to have the correct sensor and the range (if wireless) might not be long enough. Alternately, the cords for a front sensor aren't usually long enough for the back.  When I purchased my previous two computers (upgraded with the new bike), I made sure that they were rear wheel compatible.  They're always mounted on the rear wheel, so no complication with the trainer.
