Addiction LXXVII

Notices
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

Someone is seriously confused between "Country" and "Southern." Rednecks from north of the Mason-Dixon Line wouldn't recognize most of that stuff.

20. Also an adventurous eater. And my mom's ancestors were from the south, so things like turnip greens, chicken livers and chicken and dumplings were served to me as a kid. I don't even know what some of those things are, and I don't eat any of the things on the list with any frequency. Rabbit is probably at the top of the frequency list. Have three or four/year, but not always stewed.

Until a few years ago I was active in winter sports, hiking, camping, snow shoeing and skiing. The best part was becoming friends with cold and snow where a cold wind on your face, (within reason) is invigorating and snow was something to go out and play in. I no longer have the lung power for those activities. Yesterday I watched a number of videos of back country skiing and was reminded of how much I enjoyed them. One favorite video is of a very popular ski mountaineering race from Zermatt to Verbier with hundreds of participants. In keeping with the practice of irrvelevant posts, here is that video.

I know I've had chess pie, but I don't remember it. The other sound patently threatening.

Can we maybe narrow that down to a state, or even a city?

Both of those numbers have qualities about them that make them interesting beyond their bretheren/sisteren.
When adding up a series of numbers, to reach the final, single digit, evey 9 or combination equalling 9 can be thrown out, right off the top. I spend a good deal of otherwise empty time fiddling with this. Bus tickets, license plates, bar codes, you name it
And now I'm ready to move beyond 12,000

Same.

It was zero American for Benson's morning walk.

IKR. Things like cornbread and deviled egg are so universally popular they skew the survey. Also cobbler.

I scored 9.
