My commute, using the most efficient route, is only 4 miles. In the morning I take a route that is 5 miles and take it pretty easy - it's the ride home where I do my hammering and wander anywhere from 2-50 extra miles from my morning route.

"Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws" - Edward Abbey
