Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

proper attic venting is also needed to reduce condensation build up in the attic. without it the evils of mold can take over right about ones head without any notice. later.

The vents in my office are open and I can't close them which may lead to an altogether different type of venting when I get too cold.

So many vents...Do we assign names to objects based upon their function, to place them in a category or do we lack the sophistication to express ourselves fully? Are vents the reason for wars? Or do vents just clarify mankind's limited ability to communicate.

Regardless, I will not sleep well tonight...Thanks Botto.

Is this a euphemism? If so, did you? If not, did you?

Of course I did. Some guys don't like it and I just cannot figure that out. I happen to like it. Love it.

It seems to me that most people only speak loudly when they have something negative to say.
