Also, over in my world, when we say "the bike" we basically mean "the frame". It doesn't matter if you buy a P2 or a P5, or an IA16 or an IA1. Buy the one that fits, set it up correctly, and you'll give up nothing. A well-equipped B16 gives up nothing to anything.

Why not just drink soda?
had my first near miss today. Lady backing out of her drive way, looked right at me approaching her and continued to back up. My thought process was she would leave me room to pass, wrong. She kept going, and almost squished me into a car parked on the other side of the street. She thanked me with a choice finger and went about her day.
I was in the car a couple days ago, we're minding our own business driving up the hill and a car makes a left turn from the apartments. I thought he/she would just ease along in the center lane until we cleared, but no, she proceeds to our lane. Had to slam on the brakes to avoid a collision. Amazing how drivers seemingly don't even look.

Speaking of vintage bikes that are a size too big for me... this popped up for $250, and it's awfully difficult to say no...

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, she looked right at me, but looking and seeing are too different things. As far as the finger, some people only know how to communicate one way.

After about the 53rd time of something like that happening, you'll look back on this statement with a different outlook.

The "go to quoted post" link doesn't work for me on the above, but only when the page first loads from the main 41 page or when clicking on the page number navigation. If I'm already on page 86 and force a reload, the link then does work.

Packers @ Niners and TItans @ KC. Chalk says the winners will be the home teams, but the Titans have convincingly thumped teams favored to beat them before (and "thumped" is the operative term). Meanwhile, Rodgers is never to be underestimated. Personally, I sided with the defense in both cases, so my SB would be Titans-Niners. Offense is cute, but there have been way too many cases of "high-flying unstoppable offenses" suddenly being stoppable at the end of the season (a couple of times the Patriots, the Broncos with Peyton the first time, the Rams, the Cardinals, the Ravens the last two times, KC last year) and even more in the college games) for me to pick them.

No. Should be roughly isotonic. Maximizes absorption of water from GI tract, and takes advantage of glucose-sodium cotransportor.
I know what I am talking about. Soda has too much sugar for this application.

I could be wrong; I'll probably be wrong on one of them. However, defense is bigger than people want to accept. Even the high-offense teams that win tend to win when they also have stout defenses. For all the talk of how great Brees is and how great the Saints offense is... they got their ring during the Bountygate year. I can't remember a mediocre defense winning the SB, no matter how much people talked about their offense. Am I missing one?

But there's only three games left and they don't come on at the same time.
