Recently started commuting to work a few days a week and have been using my laptop bag to haul my essentials. Riding home last night I had a decent headwind almost the entire way and my backpack might as well have been a sail it slowed me down so much.

I see her and Egwene getting so much love and it seriously baffles me. At least Perrin’s rave reviews are balanced against some intelligence and appreciation for an actor who’s more than a soggy baked potato. But Nynaeve, wow. So unbelievably without nuance and one-dimensional.

I've been living in Ensenada, BC since December of last year and am exploring some options in Sonora. Rocky Point seems like a really great place! Those of you who live there or have lived there before, would you recommend it for a self-sufficient expat? Simple, quiet living is my MO. A couple beers on the beach with friends after an afternoon ride sounds great. A wild night at the club, no so much.

A few specific questions:

- How difficult is it to find a (mostly) quiet place to rent with a good internet connection? And is AC necessary?
- What is the best way to find furnished apartments there?
- How is the expat community? I spent the better part of a decade in South Korea an

I’m new to town and have seen a number of people riding around on nice road bikes. Is there a Facebook group or anything that shares stores, routes, ride times, things like that? I’d love to get back in the saddle.
