moc.deepselbac@diersicnarf says... Steve, When you get to St. George (don't know why anyone would want to go there :-)), take your bamboo with you. and possibly a heavy 9 weight. IIRC, fall is a good time to look for stripers on the surface in Lake Powell. Kevin -- reply to: kevin dot vang at minotstateu dot edu |

Makes no difference, I'd say that neither one is a particularly healthy thing to do. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Healthy or not, and we agree that it's not, running a marathon *is* an accomplishment of sorts. You can't just lace up your running shoes and go run 26.2 miles, you have to train for months and you have to be fairly diligent about it. For what it's worth. -- Ken Fortenberry |

If you have to ice your knees "12 hours a day" for over a week, and live on a diet that consists of Laphroaig and ibuprofen, maybe that means you didn't train long enough (or you shouldn't be doing it in the first place). You do that to yourself for the feeling of "accomplishment"? What was the accomplishment? That's beyond my understanding. Willi |

It is what those who are too dull to appreciate the subtle grandeur of process make do with. Wolfgang it's the difference between a trout farm and a stream.......the difference between a tarpon and a brookie. |
