My most recent black lab, now 9 years old, became attached to youngest daughter when wife and I started traveling a lot and left them behind. When daughter moved out, I told her that I didn't mind her leaving the house, but she couldn't take my dog. Of course the dog went with her, and of course...

I agree. I love league play, but the tournaments run by my local league seem to never start on time, then run on into the late night or early morning. Not for me!

I can think of several folks right off the top of my head who would struggle mightily with that stretch. Would not want them to drive any of my vehicles through there.

There have been a lot of those in the news lately!

'wood that appears thicker than it really is' in my book is 'fake'. Look, I don't have any problem with the company or the product. If it fills a need or desire for someone, all the better. I just made the comment that it looks like an attempt at a niche that may not exist.

But that is sort of my point. If you want the beauty of wood, there are plenty of choices available. And if you want the advantages of CF, those choices abound as well. I don't see much of an advantage to covering CF with 'fake wood'. And no matter what the manufacturer claims in the promo...

I don't blame them for trying, I just think it's a pretty feeble attempt at something genuinely useful and in demand. Looking at that 'wood veneer', it reminds me of when my dad bought a tricked out Ford station wagon (1957) that had fake wood on the doors and dash. I thought it was so cool at...

But if you were 'into' CF, wouldn't you want it to look like Carbon, and not like fake wood?

I'm not clear on what the intended advantage or market for this might be. If you want a carbon butt, you can certainly have one. If you want the beauty and warmth of a wood butt, those have been around forever. I suppose there must be some folks out there who think they need a carbon butt but...

Jehoshaphat, the mongrel cat, jumped off the roof today. Some say he fell, but I hear tell, he did himself away. His eyes weren't bright, like they were the night we played checkers on the train. God bless his sole, he was a Tootsie Roll. But he's a dead cat just the same. (John Prine)

One of my life long problems with religious fanatics is that they tend to equate their brand of religion with 'morals'. The two are mutually exclusive.

I think it's attractive to the men because the virgins won't know if it's a good lay or not.

The 72 virgins awaiting you must be a pretty strong sell, too!

Cycling for old people! I can do this.

Well that's the best explanation I've heard. I thought it was just being held in a sphere by surface tension!

I've done this. Not sure if I saw god, but I certainly had to change my shorts!

Christ on a Bike! New one for me. I like it!

Stupid should hurt!

Yep, altitude plays a big part in all of that. Here in the 'high desert', we can have 50 degree daily spread in temps, with 60 degree difference between high and low not unheard of. I have lost knee high corn and two foot tall tomatoes to frost in July on at least two occasions. Hunting...

I have to admit I wasn't much of a fan of Efren when he was in his prime, but his act has aged really well.
