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

Boomerdom needs to be broken into two parts, at least. No way in the world somebody born in 1946 is on the same plane as someone born in 1960-anything. So the whole boomer stereotype is totally without merit, just a conversation piece.

There is a community in the state if Campeche; don't know how large it is. The men are beanpoles, and stand out among our small statured population. I'm 6' and they tower over me as well.
