One might ask the question of whether there is some ulterior reason
for wanting to build bike paths? After all, the advocate has been
posting here for years with no mention of bicycle paths until very
recently. Was he struck by lightening while on the road to Damascus?
Are there other reasons?

WAY OFF TOPIC but...

Just wondering why so many Americans/ex Americans use the word "lightening" (to make lighter) rather than the word "lightning" (a bolt/sheet of visible electricity in the sky)? I've seen this in so many places including online literature that it's made me curious.

Cheers

I don't know (and I'm hardly an authority of modern English :-) but it
might be how we pronounce the word. But you are right that the
correct spelling is "lightning".
Next time I'll write "a flash of light" :-)

You seem to be up rather late. Working night shift this week?

Not working nights. Retired. Also have sleep disorders. Do a lot of riding at night though = roads are really quiet. Just need to watch for the critters on the shoulders of the roads and make sure said critters don't cross right in front of me.

Cheers

If you don't sleep at night when do you sleep?

I had a similar problem but then we moved to the country and now get
up at 05:00 and I don't seem to have a problem in getting to sleep
any more.
