Century Day, May 21, dawned with a 49[degree]F drizzle requiring layers of clothing and rain gear. While most of New York was sleeping, Jane and I gamely cycled to Penn Station to join a colorful flock of metric riders at 6:30 a.m. (Those doing longer distances had already departed amid pelting rain.) Bagels, bananas, oranges and energy bars--foods that quickly refuel muscles with carbohydrates--were provided at the train station and later on at rest stops. While 5BBC volunteers loaded our bikes onto trucks, we boarded the train for a 2-hr. ride to Mastic-Shirley...
...hills covered with saguaro cactus--his dream was to reach Phoenix--when he was spotted by two horsemen dressed in black.One of them pulled out a rifle and shot Palafox in the neck.

...Japanese have been doing it for decades (they call it anime). Besides, in Star Wars and its myriad clones the characters, the acting and the plots are already on the cartoony side. So give half a chance to Titan A.E., which has the retro-pioneering spirit of recent s-f movies...
