For those who are Not Getting America.

see, the secret joke is that every day is special for men.

The Dragonfly wouldn't be the jacket to wear in a downpour. (But then, neither would a Gore-tex jacket, IMO). It would be great for a wind and wet shedding garment on long climbs, trail runs, etc. where weight and space are at a premium (the thing stuffs into a fist-sized package).

'67, dumbass.

the bike

attached are a couple photos from yesterday's test ride. Tropical temps let us dress in light layers. The trailer is a heavily modified BOB with about 55 lbs of water and rocks loaded. We've added a 29" wheel, and shifted the axle to mimic the bike's wheelbase length. It tracked right behind the bike, and exhibited practically no "memory" of turns (memory in the sense of wiggling after turning). Just easier to handle in general than the un-modified trailer we tested alongside for comparison. And check the Surly bike! One F@<$!ng Speed! We'll use similar trailers modified by the SLO BOB crew for an upcoming trip on the sea ice.

form is more important than the amount of weight. don't be embarassed to use the shiny little dumb-bells with all the dust on them.

Man, that'd be better than the duct tape, fersure.

Optimus Nova is better, IMO.

As for the ice-down-the-cuff problem of Vinylove (Atlas 460 gloves http://www.seamar.com/atlas/460.html), you can use insulated crabbing gloves, but then you've got ice-down-the-sleeve issues. Has anybody ever solved the ice-down-the-neck problem to avoid ice-chips-melting-on-the-belly?

Dru, it's easier to believe in fantasy than in the truth. That's probably why "The Big Lie" has become a best-seller in France (the book posits that the US was responsible for crashing its own planes into the WTC towers). You seem --like many in the world today-- to be Not Getting America

susana spears: But can she climb?

PETA is conspicuously absent during this year's Eid Al Adha where thousands of sheep and cattle are sacrificed for feasting.

I would venture a guess that poverty and illiteracy are more at fault than an absence of Big Brother.

Where did you "hear" that? Who is Ginger Lynn? Is this in reference to the tapes hidden in the bureau? Actually, I unexpectedly once found a copy of Ginger Snaps in a VCR of a room I stayed in with an old girlfriend. That was fun. Susana Spears has a harder body than Ginger, but pornstars are a dime a dozen. (okay, $200/night). There's a lot of 'em anyway.

The house of Saud moves with glacial speed. But it is moving. Eg.: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030209/ap_on_re_mi_ea/saudi_reforms_2

I need pictures.

Read the recent words of John McCain: Freedom's Defense.

I don't understand the question? Why is Mfufy lube?

I heard it from the mouth of General James L. Jones, Commandant, United States Marine Corps. BTW, the battle of the Constitution vs the Java is one of the great ones in naval history. Check out http://www.ussconstitution.navy.mil/
