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

but the game was basically over - or at the least the Texans game to lose - after the Texans easily and repeatedly gouged the Browns defense

the Browns defense failed to defend simple plays … poor fundamentals … the safeties play was especially below the line

I have been thinking of getting a higher quality hex wrench set for awhile. I looked at SILCA and PB Swiss, but they are $$$$$. I ended up getting a 105 level set from Wera that I think will be good enough for my ham-fisted wrenching. Review to follow.

The recipe uses olive oil to brown the sprouts and gnocchi. The butter goes in later.

They should start with youth football, if we were serious about head injuries. They're not even getting paid for it.
