We should ask our elder statesmen what their experience has been.

Yes, we will need two volunteers for the job. Two in case one doesn't make it back.

Canadien? Were you trying to infiltrate the Quebecois defenses?

Had quite a few of those lately. Been wearing 3/4 tights, arm warmers and a vest if necessary.

Correct. Apparently that was a longstanding misunderstanding and DNA suggests they are from India.

A few less than 10 years ago, in my mid-60's, I came down with the nastiest bout of flu I ever never wanted to experience. In the middle of it all, I for the first time realized the reality of old people really do die from this stuff.
Yesterday quite sick with many of the same kinda symptoms but from an intestinal issue...screwed up digestive system, fever, severe chills, joint aches, exhausted...I went to bed early and sweating it out slept until 5am when I got with the dogs. Then back to bed after a couple of hours for another couple of hours. After deciding this was fer sure a serious R&R day I just couldn't stand it. Did some light maintenance around the house and then got in a low and slow eight miles onna bike between bathroom breaks. Early evening now and I be happy while again feeling like crap, tho not nearly as bad. A coupla days of rinse and repeat and I should be right back to my abnormal self.

Hey @Velo Vol, do you realize the term "gypped" is racist against gypsies??
More like not uncalled for pejorative.
