I have noted of late that NYC is getting much more discriminating in his
selection of newsgroups to post to. This is all to the good and I urge him
to stay with ARBR especially. We are a very small newsgroup need all the
members we can get.

Hmmm ... that rec.backcountry seems like it would be an interesting group. I
wonder if they need my ministrations?

Springtime Bill

We here in Minnesota go directly from winter into summer. Our springs are
the pits. I have heard tell that other sections of the country have
magnificent springs, often lasting a month or more. But that is not the case
here.

Yesterday I had the heat on in the house as it was so chilly and today it
has become like summer. There are even flies and mosquitoes buzzing about
the house. How can all of this happen in a single day?

Minnesota is gorgeous in the summer time, but the rest of the year it is
strictly for polar bears. It is my aim in life to die in a warm spot, like
maybe Panama or Costa Rica.

PS. Sorni, your user address really sucks. Why is that? Are you just one
humongous sucker?

I'm sure there are many kind folks who hope you get your wish very

I have never seen a name with so many consonants in it. There is something
totally screwed up with the Slavic languages. The Poles seem to be the worst
in this regard.

Note my name if you please. So sensible a name has never existed except in
the lovely green land of Ireland - and one that is easy to say and spell
too. I think it means in Irish "the dark one". Yea, I go to sleep every
night muttering my name under my breath. It is music to my ears. Imagine
going to sleep every night muttering the name Krygowksi. God! Such a name
would give me nightmares!

I eat them. Makes a great snack and you don't even have to stop to
eat.

Heh...their sentiments exactly towards me! Four bites already...at
least dogs don't bite and just chase you for a bit.

Yes, I say we shanghai other newsgroups plant the recumbent bug in 'em!

More than the Dolan's done in years on both accounts,
so it seems.

Do you still have the Stratus?

Junk food. Moderation. The tasty bits are gone already
anyway...

For many of us in ARBR, noodling for bottom feeders
has no further appeal.

Ed:

A good scrub of your body will reduce the flies - perhaps with a
scotch-brite pad and heavy duty cleanser.

And if you were to die, you would no longer attract the mosquitos.

Yes. That's the "to work in the rain" bike.
I rode the Trek in today. And likely the the rest of the week.
I did see another recumb over the weekend on a bike path.
Not a Rans.

Remember the anteater in B.C.? When he sucked up the ants the noise was something like "Zoot"?

Believe the sound the large (non stinging, thank God) bug that went up my right nostril Saturday at approximately 28 mph made a sound more like "Zok". Only downside I can see to bent riding so far, the nostrils are upright and wide open for insect intruders.

Maybe we should devise a sort of bug screen that would hang in front of the helmet and still let the air through?

ARBR fauna are less numerous now, perhaps. We have our
Grosses to bear. %^)

I've grown my stable to three. The TourEasy is my rain-bike
choice,-- it's the only one with fenders. The windscreen helps,
too.

As a fishing technique, effective for catfish, though some might
call noodling unsavory as a practice. Figuratively, a common
method when trolling for Dolan here.

Naw, Bob is largely harmless. He hasn't fully figured out the net

I debated the wind screen. I drove today. I have to give a polar
talk this evening.

Well, I don't mind fishing with explosives. I'm not one of these catch
and release guys normally. Work has me troll for bigger things.

No.
I'm a book reviews editor Jon, I just got 3 book in the mail for "free"
just asking for reviews (do you know anything about diffusion through
porous media? yours just for 2-3 pages, god knows who I am going to find
for a reviewer for a part of Knuth vol. 4 {Don non-intentionally
intimidates every one [he's that thorough]}). People send trade copies
to me all the time to curry favor. The person to ask about bears was my
classmate Hillary or maybe the Craighead brothers. Or Herrero.
See why it take me so long to get through Hillerman? 8^)

Fishing
Noodlers do it bare handed.
Bears do it bear handed.

Trollers here do it ham-handed, mostly. Poor technique,
no finese, noise only.

_Blue Bear_ is a lighter read than most of that, I'm sure.
A nice read on vacation or traveling. Interesting story, tragic
ending,-- or not in some Zen way. Not really a story about
bears. You know the "ending" from the introduction. Some
Alaskan culture and history, mainly a personal tale.

I see it is available as an E-book. I picked up a used copy
for a couple of bucks. Will pass it on.

No one, but no one, can troll the Great Ed Dolan. On the other hand, I can
easily troll all the suckers and bottom feeders who infest ARBR.

Apparently Meinecke stays current on this newsgroup although he never makes
any contributions to it anymore. Well, he will learn some wit and wisdom
simply by reading what Ed Dolan the Great writes to this miserable
newsgroup, otherwise known as ARBR.

Meinecke was one of the main things that was wrong with this group when push
came to shove. When a criminal vandal troll showed up here (Ed Gin), all he
knew how to do was to run and hide like the cowardly weasel that he is. He
does not have a clue about what destroyed this group. It takes talent to be
as dense as he ever proves himself to be. I attribute his density to his
Germanic racial traits.

Finesse is wasted on this newsgroup. It is most especially wasted on Jon
Meinecke, who has ever proven himself to be a weasel. Do weasels even have
any sophistication? All Meinecke is good for is posting his cryptic nonsense
and then running and hiding from those who would answer him. He did that
with Ed Gin, the ONLY troll this newsgroup has ever had, and he does it with
the Great Ed Dolan too.

Of all the vices, cowardice is the most despicable. I will take a JimmyMac
and a Tom Sherman any day to a weasel like Jon Meinecke. Screw it! I will
even take [censored] like Flabby to a Jon Meinecke.
