Not being a television owner, my memories of working in the south are more to southern girls, grits and eggs for breakfast, southern girls, Crystal hot sauce and southern girls. There may have been more that I have forgotten. Crystal hot sauce made me smile. red beans and rice ... -- duane |

I could see putting on a ride to raise money, but most people already know about depression, cancer, MS, etc. Maybe I'm just tired of the phrase. I agree. On our big ride, we were asked several times about the cause we were riding for. Several reporters looked a tad disappointed when we said we were just doing it because we wanted to, or because it was fun. Sheldon Brown had something to say on the subject: http://sheldonbrown.com/thons.html And underneath Sheldon's article, an ad for the Ride To Conquer Cancer, which sounds like a fun ride except for the requirement to raise 2,500 dollars before they'll let you join them. |
