I'd whine about my job too, but it would just depress me more.

As far as movies go, some rise to art, some do not, but they all imitate life. To wit: EDR and RTC

I am a lawyer. And I know very few who love their jobs. If anyone asks, I usually discourage them from going to law school.

Or show them this video. It's five minutes of truth:

Most days I have no problem going to work. After 17 yrs at the same place. I guess that means Im happy there. Theres plenty of stress at times, but it can be highly rewarding for me.

in the sense you think it's too high or too low?

the guy who sold me my powertap is between 150-155lbs. He rode for Trek-Livestrong last year and is currently riding for Bissell. His 60' power is 375W, and his 20' is 400W. His teammate averaged 312W for 5 hours at the Tour of Battenkill and came in 3+ minutes behind the winner.

Really? I thought it was dreadful, just relying on shock value and nothing else. Different strokes for different folks.

I thought it was masterfully suspenseful. I was on edge the whole movie. You have to be willing to get into it, but I thought it was very well done. The brilliance was that it didn't really solely on shock value. What you didn't see was far worse than what you actually saw, although the biggest frights did come from shock. But the shocks weren't all that bad by themselves, it was the ridiculously taught build up to the very few shocks, instead of one around every corner.

Maybe I've watched too many paranormal shows to be phased...

Nah, it's actually a setting for the forum. I've got mine set to the max so I don't have to change pages a lot.

1676 was a pretty boring year, honestly. About the only major thing I can find is that Bacon's Rebellion happened. Not exactly a good thing, but something.
