Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have a fantasy that the Christchurch community will snap back in impressive time. At least, that is my hope for them.
I expect the community will be fine. My experience with the SF earthquake was that it drew people together. And I don't think it will result in the kind of depopulation that happened in New Orleans.
I'll be curious to see how they fix that cathedral.
amyth, I'm sorry for your loss.
And we really need to grab JenP and do a Charcoal Pit run someday
Seriously!
I am so sorry, Amyth
I am so sorry, Amyth.
Condolences, Amyth.
Gotta go move some more snow around.
Totally random question: This morning on the way to work, I saw someone riding a tandem bike by himself, and he was riding in the back.
If you had to ride a tandem bike by yourself for whatever reason, wouldn't you ride in front?
On a lighter note, have you ever felt your life would be complete if you owned a gold stump? [link]
Every day, man. Every. Day.
On many small two-seat planes with one seat in front of another, if you're flying by yourself you sit in the back seat. I think this is done for center-of-gravity issues. No idea if that would apply to a tandem bike.
On a tandem, the front does the steering and the back is where most of the power comes from, because of where the gears are situated. I think.
