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

Interesting. I'm even more OCD... diagonal cuts are for savory sandwhiches (meats, cheeses, etc) vertical cuts are for sweet sandwiches (like PB&J). My crazy brain won't let me do it any other way.

Those Scott Foils look really tasty. Will you buy one to show us?

I'm not a very good spectator or fan. I don't avidly follow teams or individuals.

That's why this LA thing doesn't faze me, as just one example.

I'm avid about family and friends . . . celebrities and personalities and nobodies, not so much.

Gotta do crusty bread. I started using the bread machine a little bit more to make bread, make it about twice a week now. Makes a nice golden crust and takes about 3 minutes to dump all the ingredients in the machine. Great way to save some $$ and make healthier bread than the grocery store.

I think I could write a screen play for one of those cheesy movies they air on the family channels.

I saw one last night about a middle-aged dad who, in part, used music to reconnect with his daughter. His band ended up playing at her prom.

It kind of reminded me of Pcad, only he was younger, better looking, and more talented.

Report rejected!

And I'll have you know the 41 is the cornerstone, the foundation, and the pinnacle of the Bike Forums empire, the standard against which all the other sub-forums are measured.

Bad name? Pish posh, like bullets off of superman's chest!
