Day 248 – (AD 1,153) – 23.0 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – Zürich On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I pedaled another 23.0 miles on my Schwinn 170. I passed the 24,700-mile mark. Totals – 24,711.8 miles; 39,769.9 kilometers.

And while I pedal, Tinker believes that she's get her exercise while she stands still and avoids being clobbered by my spinning pedal.




According to my calculations I have only 9 more pedaling days remaining. There is also 0.8% of my goal mileage left.

I have reached another goal and destination point on this crazy Trek and journey, Zürich, Switzerland. I am located at Kasernenstrasse 77A, 8004 Zürich, Switzerland.

And for light reading – CableTV.com’s Kaz Weida has put together, May 31, 2016 - “Your State’s Favorite Reality TV Show”

And maybe I live in the wrong state.

But what happens and where should one live that truly is not into Reality Shows?

Day 247 – (AD 1,152) – 23.8 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – Two Goals On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I struggled but I did pedal another 23.8 miles on my Schwinn 170.

The end is too, too close in sight. My totals today 24,688.8 miles; 39,732.8 kilometers

Today I crossed from Meersburg to Konstanz. And I completed 2 of my goals and destination points. I reached Konstanz and I crossed the German Swiss border.

Konstanz is where Andy’s 6-times Great-Grandparents Joannes Conradus and Elizabetha Losserin Bruhammer were married.

And the Google Maps close up is back on.

I am now located at Zürcherstrasse 5, 8500 Frauenfeld, Switzerland.

Countdown - 11 days remaining.

I have a question, I think.

My viewing companion while on my cycle, currently is the mini-series The White Queen.

At one scene there are at least 4 powerful women whose husbands and male members of the families have gone to war. The dramatic scene is that each one of the set of women/woman are each at some church at an alter praying for the success of their mate and/or kin as well as the quick and just death of the enemy they believe to be their opponent and/or oppressor.

Each woman, each group of women are involved in the Roman Catholic Church, and so the expectancy is that they are all praying and entreating of the same God. It is the same GOD that each is expecting a successful answer to her own prayer and appeal. And they all sit at their designated pews in the same church, and supposedly revere the same god.

My question –

Is this, and yes I know there is some dramatic license, true to the aberration and expectancy of some uniform deity?

Day 246 ½ – (AD 1,151 ½) – 0.0 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – Day of Rest From My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Oregano is blooming this morning, and the Kabocha Squash vine has touched the porch ceiling.

I believe I have only today and one more day of rest from my Trek on my Schwinn 170.

According to my calculations I have just 12 pedaling days remaining until I cross the magic number of miles from my goal of cycling a grand total of 1,164 days.

What am I going to do on the 1,165th day? Yes LD, I would even consider continuing on to Mars…

I am in some what a minor quandary this morning after a discussion last night with a Doctor of whom I was helping with a genealogy search issue.

Somehow we got to discussing diabetes and my Trek. This Doctor was convinced that due to some longevity possibilities resulting from the recent release of some Metformin trial results that I should continue on with my prescription.

Metformin is the drug used to combat diabetes which I have stopped taking partly due to my Trek and resulting diet controls in conjunction with my own Doctors.

Oh yeah " Last year, Medical News Today reported on a study by researchers from the National Institutes of Aging (NIA), which found that mice who received metformin had a 5.83% increase in lifespan, compared with control mice."

Calculating this out and if I have a life expectancy of 70 years this could mean that I would increase my life by another 4.08 years. Is there a difference between 70 and 74 years?

Further the above article I read states about the roundworms used in the study

"Although these findings in roundworms are promising as an effective anti-aging strategy, Haes notes that further research is needed:

"While we should be careful not to over-extrapolate our findings to humans, the study is promising as a foundation for future research.""

Do I have a quandary or what?

Soapbox –


Just wondering whether this is dichotomous? Or just politics?

Day 246 – (AD 1,151) – 24.0 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Today I cycled 24.0 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals – 24,665.0 miles; 39,694.5 kilometers.

I am located at a point on Stettener Street, B33, 88709 Meersburg, Germany. Only 5.9 miles to my next destination and goal point and then another 1.6 miles to the next one after that.

I’ve not got much to write about today as I know that I still have just about 1.0% of my overall total remaining. I’m thinking “what do I do next?” Any suggestions?

Soapbox –

First there was Judge Judy. Okay.

Then there was Honey Boo-Boo. Not okay.

And now TMZ is considering “Palin Rules”.

MSNBC, May 31, 2016 – “Will Sarah Palin have the last laugh? New show could earn millions.”

"According to TMZ, producers for a long-rumored new reality court show have lobbied to trademark “Palin Rules” as its title. The program, which will be in the same mold as “Judge Judy,” “People’s Court” and “Judge Joe Brown,” was first reported on back in March, with the show’s producer Larry Lyttle pledging that the former 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee will preside over “the courtroom of common sense.”

And where in the hell did Sarah Palin gain and retain any type of common sense?

But what is more scary than that, is where will the proposed viewers illicit any type of common sense?
