Hurrah! Yowzers! Yahoo!

How comfortable do you need to feel when you go out on your bike?  I'm sure you've asked yourself this many, many times.
This morning, as I left the house dressed in my summer lycra, this question did cross my mind.  Would I be too cold?  was the most important point.  Never mind the pointy seat or hunched over riding position one has to adopt leading (sometimes) to a sore back, would I be warm enough?
As it happens, I was OK even though my jersey was one of my more 'airy' versions with quite a large amount of mesh.  I pondered going back inside for my gilet, but that would have been a bit pointless - this summer after all!  There's a shower or 2 forecast around home time, so I might regret the no gilet option.
Anyway, as it turns out I was comfortable, thanks for asking.

Yahoo has finally be sold - to Verizon, which I think I am correct in saying that it's a big US mobile phone company.  Yahoo has always been a bit of an podd company in that what it did it did well - i.e. a portal into the wworld wide web, but no-one really hung around to look what it was passing through.  I mean, you might think to yourself 'nice doors' as you enter a building, but its not what you went for, it's what is on the other side that matters.  In the UK, BT used to automatically add a 'Yahoo  desktop' when you installed their router software, much to my annoyance, and even now some people still have this as their homepage thinking it's the only option.
