"Marty" wrote in message ... "Dan Volker" wrote in message ... As to the military angle, if he talked like this in bars with Navy, Marines or Army guys, its pretty likely he'd have gotten his ass kicked regularly, and at the very least, he would have been ( would still be) visiting the brig on a regular basis. More likely, if he does hang out with other military types, he talks differently than he does on AMB. I don't think you have a clue how people of certain backgrounds and capabilities interact. If you did you would understand that there is a camaraderie within certain groups (especially Special Opns). It's rough; it's loud; and it's sometimes physical. I would argue that it's your SEAL friends who act differently around YOU. Marty In this case, we are not talking about a situation where any camaraderie exists---the posts here in comparison, are to near total strangers. I doubt you are trying to say that SEALs that are wondering around within the public, typically are rough, loud, and physical to people they don't know. Dan |

In Collserola there are plenty of tracks that you can pass with a rigid bike or hardtail, but you don't enjoy them, because you were braking all the time and with a severe risk of falling due to plenty free rocks. Not about technics. A-hah! We obviously have a different concept of "fun". That sounds great to me. Life is all about the differences. ;-) (Vive la difference!) Steve |

Ah, this would explain why football players are so meek and non-confrontational off the field. ;-) Each major sport creates its own dynamics....As to your comment, I've never had any football player act confrontationally to me off the field--in person. Have you? I have, on several occasions. High School & college. Soccer players, nope. Baseball players, nope. Basketball, yep. Lacrosse players, nope. (Maybe that's because I played lacrosse, but whatever.) gabrielle |

"JD" wrote in message m... "cc" wrote in message ... See previous post. Bikes were attached properly. Problem=design flaw. Yeah, blame it on a "design flaw". You're funny. Well, each bike was attached at a different time, by different people, yet both were coming off. The design incorporates a lot of "bounce" due to the hinge feature that allows fold-down for SUV hatchbacks. We'd double-checked installation to ensure that it had been done correctly as well. This is the first time this particular rack had been on the freeway. The rack bounced the bikes right off the end . . cc Hmmm, every non-egghead I know who uses a rack like that backs up the fastening system with straps or bungees. Now go back to your books. JD |
