What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Trivial Wind

I feel vindicated about not riding on windy days, this was Lance Armstrong's Tweet from a few minutes ago:
 "Just finished riding w/ some of the fellas outta @. Too windy for me!"
I checked the weather in Austin, Tx. and it's in the 70's with an 8mph wind but it's gusting to 17mph. But he did ride, LOL.

Today I have some food trivia for you,

Our bodies convert Beta-Carotene into Vitamin A which is
important for good eyesight, helps your body fight
infection, and keeps your skin and hair healthy.

                            
***

The darker green varieties of lettuce are more nutritional
than the light green varieties.

                            
***

In the U.S., lettuce is the second most popular fresh
vegetable and Americans eat about 30 pounds of lettuce
every year.

                            
***

Fresh apples float because 25% of their volume is air.

                            
***

In 1970, consumption of broccoli was only a half a pound
per person. Today, the average person eats 4.5 pounds a
year.


Ok that's it for today... see you all tomorrow.
