That is a great story. I've never ridden rocks before, as there are none here to be found. The
very thought intimidates me somewhat.

When I'm going over rocks, you can often hear me shouting like The Greatest, "float like a
butterfly, sting like a bee!" to remind me to keep loose and light.

I'm a finesse rider for the most part, so maybe I could make it.......maybe.

get to ride real technical stuff every day around here in the high desert. If you are interested,

One thing I learned in government work: everybody's scared. You just get after it and do it.

This year it will be less aerobically challenging and more technical. Gravity in the right
directions. And lots of fun.

That's another good story. Yeah, I have my fears, and most of it is because of my fear of heights.
It just takes me longer to build up confidence on something new. Once I do, I'm off and running.

It's hard work. My uncle had a vision problem that kept him from any real job, so he kind of ran the
show for my grandfather. When I stay here during the summers, it was up before the sun, feed the
animals, come back and eat breakfast, back to work until lunch, then work until dark. I looked
forward to the weekends, can I tell ya!

There's definitely some exposure to dropping to to your death on Amasaback in Moab. But our epic
planned for next year has nothing like that. Maybe pitching off and landing in whitewater, which
would be a bummer. But after doing it with groups for a few years now, and nobody biffing it that
way, I think the risk is very low. The best defense, in my opinion, is a good fitness base, and
riding as much varied terrain as you possibly can.

Funny thing just happened to me. I've been riding all over the state and region this summer on some
very different and occasionally challenging terrain. No biffs. Get back to my favorite, routine
trail, and pitch off into the rocks and get bunged up. That's how it usually goes.

I for one, certainly don't want to biff 'off' of anything. I've never even seen anything like that
before. Remember, the largest mountains I've ever seen were the Ozark mini mountains. Seeing stuff
like what you're telling would certainly blow me away.

My worst one was a simple, but steep canal crossing I've made hundreds of times.

The worst one I ever had:

Walking past my favourite Asian Grocer's 'Akhtar's' during Eid, I noticed a small pile of red chiles
on the tabel outside. These were wider than the usual cayenne types, about the same length, and a
sorta funny shape. The boss said they were all he had left of some 'special' one he'd got for Eid -
I bought all of them, maybe 30 or so.

I had a habbit at the time, of sitting in my room in front of the TV at nights, with a plate of
fresh chiles, some sesame and poppy seed crackers (scrummy!), some strong cheese, and a few beers.

This day, I had some of the same when I got home in the afternoon, with the new chiles - they were
fantastic! Nice and _very_ hot, _very_ sweet! I ate about 6 or so, and got into digging the pain -
full blown sweat and streaming eyes type of stuff. Truly _wonderful_.

Had about another ~5 around 6 p.m, then when I settled down to watch a late film, ate about 10 or
so, bite of cheese, bite of cracker, bite of chile - munchmunchmunch - muchus fantasticus!

Day after, woke up with a heavy 'rumble' and strong burning in my intestines. I was on the [censored]
for 2 hours, sweating, and with tears

on, then ran back up - was there for another hour. This went on most of the day. I was raw-sore in
places I had no right to be, and my guts felt wrecked, spoiled, ruined forever. I thought I'd never
be able to eat a chile again. I was sad ;-(

It took about 3 weeks before everything felt right again, heheheheheh!

While in college, I was going through the cafeteria line one fine evening. The first thing I got to
in line was a pile of off white goo. I asked the lady what it was, and she replied, "chitterlings".
Right away, I chose the other entree item without asking what it was.
