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

Did someone already post this one? Yes, I witnessed this show at the time and the Beatles on Ed Sullivan as well as the Dave Clark 5, and numerous others.

Was that local time or GMT?

Wegmans stocks it. Mrs. rjones28 drinks it from time-to-time. But, apparently, not after December.

It does, indeed. There was an old joke my Dad told me, "New Orleans may have a streetcar named Desire, but Lancaster has a bus called Intercourse".
