Day 252 ½ – (AD 1,157 ½ ) – 0.0 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – Not On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Guess what? Are sinus infections contagious? Bloody hell they are. I’m the current living proof.

Today there will be no pedaling on my Schwinn 170. And the Doctor told me to just take it easy…even though I only have 5 pedaling days remaining.

Question –

Why?

“Why Did NASA Issue a $1.1 Million Grant to Study How Alien Life Could Impact Christianity?” – Patheos, Hemrant Mehta, June 10, 2016.

If extraterrestrial life has not been confirmed and faith is based on scripted religion why in the world, or outer world, is money being spent to study something that has not been proven?

Day 252 – (AD 1,157) – 22.7 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – 5 Days Left On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Today I pedaled 22.7 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals – 24,805.5 miles; 39,920.7 kilometers. That’s the real part.

I am always amazed at the naysayers when one accomplishes something one sets out to do. I’m also tickled especially when one can see from his/her physique that s/he has nothing to do with any type of physical activity as s/he slouches in a chair slurping on a double gulp.

And now for the virtual part. I am located at Route de Villars-sur-Glâne 2, 1753 Matran, Switzerland.

Countdown – 5 more pedaling days, and only 0.4% of my overall goal remaining. I pedaled 1,157 days since December 2, 2012.

Day 251 – (AD 1,156) – 24.0 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – Bern, Switzerland On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Something I’ve always puzzled about.

There seems to be some sort of average trend that when the resistance when I pedal my Schwinn 170 is higher at 15 as compared to 12 I appear to pedal farther. An example, today at resistance level 15 I pedaled 24.0 miles while 2 days ago, with the resistance at 12, I pedaled 23.0 miles. In all cases I pedal for 72 minutes.

My totals today stand at 24,782.8 miles; 39,884.1 kilometers.

This morning I reached another goal and destination point – Bern, Switzerland. According to Google Maps I am located at Brunngasshalde 3, 3011 Bern, Switzerland.

My next destination is about 80 miles away.

Countdown - 6 pedaling days remaining.

Soapbox –

Something to think about.  It is almost for sure who is against who regarding the Presidential campaign... but what about the "handshakers" and "baby-kissers" who are vying for the 34 Senate seats?

From the site FiveThirtyEight and by Harry Enton “Senate 2016: The Democrats Strick Back” Interesting breakdown by State and what could be happening come this November vote.

“Right now, Republicans hold 54 seats to the Democrats’ 46 (including two independents who caucus with the Democrats). The Democrats have a favorable map in 2016: Of the 34 seats up for grabs, 24 are held by Republicans. Democrats need to net four seats to win control of the Senate if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency and five seats if Donald Trump wins.”

Day 250 – (AD 1,155) – 23.0 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – 7 Pedaling Days Left On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I pedaled 23.0 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals – 24,758.8 miles; 39,845.5 kilometers, And I am still going.

Today, (this is the virtual part), Google Maps has me located at Huttwilstrasse, 4953 Huttwil, Switzerland. And yes I am in Switzerland no matter what you see in the image.

Countdown – 7 pedaling days remaining.

And yes the news is outstanding “…and will become the first woman in the 240-year history of the United States to lead the presidential ticket of a major political party.”

CNN, Stephen Collinson, June 6, 2016 “Hillary Clinton clinches Democratic presidential nomination”

I have a question –

How does nearly 20 complaints from a total number, give or take, of 8.44 million viewers elicit and investigation Ofcom Watchdog? (And the key word is “nearly”.)

I’m not a fashionista, and whatever my thoughts, but 20 complaints. The Guardian, Mark Sweney (June 6, 2016) reported that “BGT cleared over Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon’s skimpy dresses”.

“Ofcom assessed the complaints but decided that they did not warrant launching a full investigation of a potential breach of the UK broadcasting code.”

20 complaints is approximately 0.000237%. Huh? Huh? And how many pence were spent conducting this investigation?

Just wondering if those bouncy play houses that you see at children parties were really a precursor to the creation and experiment of BEAM (Bigelow Expandable Activity Module)?

I have a tremendous idea… Core curriculum – Weather balloon training and design classes from sullen teenagers, and lame-brained politicians.

“McDonald’s Japan is hoping to spark a gold rush by giving away an 18-karat gold chicken McNugget, valued at around $2,000, as part of a social media contest featuring a bizarre new character.

And apparently it’s working.”

And that is the best I can do as I have truly gotten bored with the current Presidential campaign.
