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

Hey coasting,

Did you do your alleged ride this weekend?

I bet LAJ logged more miles yesterday than you've done in the last two months.

. . . and you want to be a cycling coach.

What does peace have to do with airport security?

If we have peace we could reduce security but until then we need to protect the passengers.

Back to my original point what is the big deal with a pat down or security scanning that shows details of the body.
I don't think it is even a issue for kids, as a child I was taught that a doctor was different and the same concept could be used for security workers or let them use the machine.

I watch Leno and Letterman and they are still talking about it? They must have little material or think it is a issue?

Ahh, yes the troubling and argumentative stage of keeping pace with daytime tv. Matlock and the good pills are only a few hours away.

Your cryptic affectation is rather tedious. Just an FYI.

I may have too much time on my hands to track down exotica not easily found with a US distributorship but I wonder if these are coming to our shore.

I bet the real reason coasting got kicked out was because he was acting creepy.

You mean English?

I think it has much more to do with counterfeiting and knockoffs that can make changes much faster than they can.

Do you think you're Confucius, doling out great truths? Being concise is the art of using just enough words. Maybe you intentionally aim short of concise in hopes of being perceived as intriguing, but you fall short of that, as well.

Why attempt to communicate if you can't do it in a manner that's remotely comprehensible? You're right, this is a place for lighthearted idiocy... as opposed to eye-rolling pretentiousness. Save yourself the time and others the need to sift.
