A great morning ride!

with the little critters adding some protein.

You're not "going to get ****" for that, Bill.

Now, the HERSHEY SQUIRTS is another matter.

Never had it. I seem to be immune to just about everything and never
even get a noticable cold or flu. Stress your immune system by not being
a clean freak and you will have a stronger line of defense when some
real **** hits the fan. I have only been hit 3 times since 1977. 2 times
food poisoning (roach coaches) and one mystery fever up to 106 then down
in about 6 hours.

Yep, better health through filth.

The only time I had a bad experience was about 6 months ago when I ate
way too many prunes on my way up the mountain to my (semi) private
waterfall. The damn things beat the hell out of ex-lax.

Nothing you eat is ever totally clean. We really do take in a few pounds
of dirt every year in the food we eat or even the air we breath. I just
don't obsess over it, if you want that, watch 'Monk' on television.

I stopped eating in 1974.
Now I can ride 3000 miles a day usually on gnarly single track 7 days a
week because my body doesn't waste energy digesting food. I just
process sunlight and water from my private waterfall. And since I live
in the desert my waterfall is only falling 19 days a year.
Of course, my butt does get sore!

Well, this area is kind of like the desert in the summer and only the
snow melt fromon high keeps the waterfall going (and the swimming hole
below it). Kind of nice to ride up in 100F then take a swim at the
destination point, relax for a half hour and then pedal back.
And my butt still gets sore from the jeans.

That was perfect! You have captured the essence of the nut case!

Not only is Crazy Bill crazy, he's clueless too.

Clueless to what? That you guys don't know how to be self sufficient in
the wilderness? Having a mountain stream fed swimming hole to myself at
the midpoint of a long ride beats the hell out of car dodging in the
city. And the jeans stay, no lycra, ever. Crazy Bill was my handle on a
motorcycle, not a pedal cycle, so you guys kind of missed.
I would challenge any of you to a week long survival test away from
civilization any day.
