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

(Bike Related) Thoughts on this as a rain bike? Seems like a heck of a deal, and is available in both of my potential workable sizes.

I can't comment on the quickness of Jen's betrothal. It would be a serious case of Pot & Kettle.

I'm talking to my friend from Phoenix, shopping for work shoes, and txting Ms. Solo all at the same time on my iPhone. We also talked about eloping last week. Actually more like a destination wedding.

I like the part about the Guiness. Lowfat yogurt, not so much.

Incorrect I've had Goldens before, and my mother currently had a golden doodle. She is a complete idiot.

Well clearly not the norm and what would you expect when combining a Golden with a frikin poodle. Recipe for fail.

My poodle is the smartest dog I've ever encountered. He's pretty amazing. It's not to say I don't like Goldens. I love them as well. They just aren't near as smart.

Yeah, right, that's why the most used dog for the handicapped is a poodle, cause they are so smart. Right.

Well SA, I have to concede the point to you, Poodles are 1 rank over the Golden in intelligence, with German Shepard's above them both and the Border Collie at top spot
