People talk of the folly of youth, but more insidious is the folly of age. "Why, that tire and rim weigh less than what I used to have to lug on my back in the good ol' infantry, plus no rifle, helmet, nor body armor, and it's only a mile instead of fifteen. Easy!" I need someone around to remind me that that was the long-since discontinued 18 year old version of me. Argh. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
