Are those Valley tables?

I had to Google it.

I can't even comprehend having that thought. It would be depressing.

I'm always tempted to try this when I see those signs, especially is icy weather. Another favorite of mine are the warning signs which say 'Watch for Rocks'. I'm a geologist, so I always tell my wife, 'don't worry, I'm a professional'.

Yeah, I get it. They probably think they're driving for 'free'.

Oh, a 20hp generator can eventually supply enough electricity to power a 270hp car. But the 2nd law of thermodynamics demands that it would require much, much more than 270hp worth of gasoline fuel to do so.

2nd law of thermodynamics comes into play very quickly here.

I fear most 'strong players' would sway toward trying to teach and force you into what they do. A really good instructor will evaluate you and your needs and push you toward what you need. I think I'd seek a well renowned professional instructor rather than a strong player. Could be the same...

And the guy next to her can move only in diagonals?

There is still one here locally. I'm pretty sure there are several more scattered across rural Nevada in the old mining camp towns.

I took a long break and then started again about 5 years ago. I quickly saw that I was not as good as I had been, and seemed to hit a plateau quickly and was not improving no matter how much time I put in at the table. Finally arranged private lessons from a pro (Jerry Briesath in my case)...

How do you (personally) compensate for deflection? I don't compensate unless the cue ball is going to travel approx 3 feet + before making contact. Beyond that, I allow for 1/4 to 1/2 ball (intended object ball) deflection depending upon how far off center I aim, and the speed of the shot (a...

God I hope not. That would mean that I'd have to sweep and vacuum much more often!

I'd prefer to never know the things not needed to be in the know.

Not sure I needed to know that. But I now know. Thanks?

I always thought Cowboy didn't deserve the derision aimed at him here. He was interested our passion, and entertaining. I've often wondered if he has become 'incapacitated' in some way, and has someone caring for him looking in the forum from time to time, thus the 'lurking' alerts. I hope...
