The lady who does our newsletter hasn't sweated outside since the Carter Administration. Her idea of activity is to drive to Vail and sit around a fire drinking, not skiing, just drinking. She has no desire to associate with people who go outside to sweat!

I work doing research on alternative energy but we are only interested in fuel and cars. Nonfuel users just aren't interesting enough to get coverage. We have around 50 year around cycling commuters (out of nearly 900 people working here) and about 75 to 150 seasonal ones. But, then, they just ride bikes. They don't drive shiny new cars, so they aren't important.
