If anything this will make you age more gracefully.

I wonder how much time there is till they can figure out a way to heal people's discs without surgery and help the discs regenerate. I know there has to be a way to do that by getting the cells to start growing and secreting material again.

I use gut strings on my bass. $220 or so for a set of 4. made from animal intestines (mostly cow)

Well there's that too. But don't get me started. I've been barely holding it together since the "voter mandate"

In other news... The Montague weekly Crit is back on line with more dates. More buzz to follow. Great sponsorships this year. Maybe I'll actually be able to participate in enough events to cat up.

I was asked today, "Why don't you race more? All you do is train." My response...I'm happy with my choices sorry your not.

So camera buffs...I need a cheap nikon compatible lens to shoot close range (like saddle and so on for Ebay). D100 body. Recommendations?

Remember, this is not art house stuff.
