Charge...I don't hydrate enough too says the Cardiologist...I did promise her to get up earlier this summer for my rides...why stay up late if you have to get up early? My friend...great athlete (OL team) as well PhD in Exercise Physiology says the Pedialyte is absorbed better than...

I mix a Pedialyte sports sleeve (Lime)…scoop of Creatine…and a nice dollop from a freshly squeezed bottle of Lime Juice.

There is much to appreciate in this line…it rises from the particular (Strava)

See Charlie Munger’s comments on Musk as well as his bizarre background…DJT has been described as a “moron” by those who worked most closely with him. I believe his own mother (an illegal btw) said the same.

And who’s the winner…China who has a high level delegation at this very moment in Vietnam to discuss increased trade, ties etc. “You can depend on us” they say, which a thousand years of history says they can’t…but what can Vietnam expect from the US…what can Taiwan expect…the Philippines? As...
