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

I hear there's a town there which is so nice they named it twice.

Wonder if that applies to Walla Walla, WA.

Lots of people who live in New York consider themselves to be something other than New Yorkers.

As long as they don't get too uppity.
