Well, the day started with an interesting issue: most, but not all, of my cycling clothes were outside the door - but no long cycling pants (and it was raining, again), and no long sleeved merino wool top. So I went to the cafe and had a coffee, banana-ish sweet roll, and bought a ham roll for lunch later. When I returned to the hotel/restaurant, there was no-one around. Time for stern measures: I investigated the place until I found the laundry room. There, hanging up were the long cycling pants, but the merino top was another issue. Finally I realized that they had to be in the box without an obvious door - which turned out to be the tumble dryer, and the whole front hinged. So now A-OK, I packed up and started to ship out. As I did, Kim, the lady, returned and made me a flask of coffee as a penance, methinks. Out on the road, it was raining again, and I landed up cycling alongside the Rhine on crushed limestone which was somewhat slow. In the States, if one passes another cyclist, one says “Hi” or somesuch. In Switzerland, clearly not, although a grim “gruezi” seems to be about the sum total that one can hope for. One young girl, perhaps 9-10, skipped past me carrying flowers that she had clearly picked and was singing. I later noticed various nicely dressed people going into restaurants, and realized that I should wish Susan a herzlich mutters’ tag later. Fortunately, as the day went on, the day brightened up, and I stopped for lunch by the harbor in Rorschach and had my ham roll. There was to be no nice restaurant lunch for me, for I am only a vater. I took a selfie in Rorschach while endeavoring to look “blotto”, but pretty much nobody seems to have worked out why*. I arrived at the wrong iBis hotel in Konstanz, but ultimately navigated to the correct one and was able to take my bike to the room. After a shower, I walked to a local Italian/Pizza place and had a salad and spaghetti carbonara to replace a small portion of the calories expended during the day.
[* C'mon Pugskiers and Pugcyclists, surely someone will be the first to "crack" the mystery]
After reading that, I'm not sure I understood more than half of it, and couldn't tell there was a mystery to be solved.This day last year, I did this cycle day posted in the Eine Kleine Rhine Whine thread and not one Pugski person has cracked the mystery:
Well, quite simply, @dbostedo, that was exactly the apparent mystery which I had thought, and you spotted immediately, was simply a little pun-ette on Rorschach. But ding, ding, ding, you are actually the first to get it. You get today's star prize which I will award soon, I promise, maybe ...After reading that, I'm not sure I understood more than half of it, and couldn't tell there was a mystery to be solved.
Unless you're asking why you used the term blotto in Rorschach, which I assume is just a pun on ink blot test/Rorschach test. Where's the mystery?

First Corvid-19 and now Mother Nature is now just rubbing it in.Today in History, it was warmer in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory (20C) versus Toronto, Ontario (8c). That's about 1800kms north of Toronto...
