    OT: Best horror/scary books of all time

    My favorites are movies, but I got a sci-fi book club book that had two of my favorites. Don't remember the name, but small group of people found themselves trapped in a city by robots (sort of like "The Day the Earth Stood Still"). This was mid 50's so black & white w/ no cgi. I was about 7...

    Any experience with Peace Corps?

    I joined PC in 2005 and it wound up with a significant downside. However, like any large organization, there are bad apples and I came across one of the worst. They had a poster showing the members of our training class and I was struck by two things. One was that all but a few had traveled...

    Toilet thoughts. TP, fold or crumple

    I use a sink sprayer as a bidet. Rough wipe w/ tp, then finish with 1 or 2 baby wipes. Completely eliminates brown stripe. I've also learned to just use water when in Nepal. The sink sprayer is used in various places in Thailand and Nepal. In Ecuador they often do not have tp in the stall...

    Friday OT #2 - One Shining Moment

    I’ve never been good a team sports. In ninth grade football my practice time was mostly limited to running laps before and after practice. The only time I actually remember getting into a game was running onto the field after the bench had been cleared and the last play actually started. Then...

    Friday OT - Skijoring?

    I think it is great the way the horses who have lost their riders continue the race. I think they love to race. They're herd animals. They do not have to run faster than the wolves, just faster than the next horse. Stay in the middle of the herd to stay safe. Purely instinct developed over...

    Friday OT #1 - Close But No Cigar Box

    I used to race bicycles and often trained at night, so when a local club put on a race meet in State Center, I rode over to watch. I would be home about dusk, so took an indrustial strenght blinkie and leg reflecters with me. I got back to Nevada just at deep twilight and decided to take a loop...

    RAGBRAI 2018

    The more you train, the more fun you will have. That has been my experience for the last 20+ years. Don't forget it's outdoor activity, 24/7. If you don't have expedition quality rain gear, at least take garbage bags. A decent tent and groundcloth suitable for a night of down pour and big...
