[Sportsandrec] Done!

[Jennifer Boylan]

Ron,
That is so awesome!  I am bowing down to your tandem talents and feeling
your glutes sympathetically!  Scratch that...I understand your pain after my
recent experience.  I am one big ache after a taxing three-hour practice
yesterday but am psyched for the season!  I may have a tandem pilot in the
works for Tuesday morning rides.  Now I need the discipline to work that
into my schedule.  No more rants on the computer!
Again, awesome job and I knew you could do it!
P.S.  Did I tell you guys the roadkill story relayed by my pilot two weeks
ago?  He said on this bike ride in Iowa there are nothing but hills and
fields, punctuated by an occasional crossing casualty.  Riders in these
races don't avoid the roadkill or clean it up--they decorate it!  Riders
drop beads on the deceased and racing teams slap their logo stickers on as
they pass.  By the end of the race, you can barely spy the remains.  I asked
him if the ride was a "Cult Classic."  Jennifer

"Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!
Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory
...
Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!
...
You got it!
It's dead, it's in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven!
All over the road, technicolor man!
Oh, you got pollution
It's dead, it's in the middle
And it's stinkin' to high, high Heaven!"
 Loudon Wainwright "Dead Skunk"
