Yes, because I fear injury in case of an accident and seatbelts have been shown to help.
Seatbelts don't kill people. Purely a defense device. Guns, however, are often offensive.
One time I was driving through town and a giant bunny waved at me.
Could've been around Easter, but, ya know, that's not a given.
Skip. Really scary people rarely skip.
After a short time, nearly all practical arguments are covered in these handgun threads. After that, it's pretty much who has the attention span to keep writing them over and over.
While I don't...
Nice thing about Bikram is you don't have to crank the heat in your own house.
I though exercise in that much heat seemed silly, but then I noticed that my muscles are more stretchy when I'm hot.
Finnish immigrants built the mills here in Fitchburg.
"Sometimes the job takes a really big hammer. If you don't have a really big hammer handy, make one."
Back when I was a kid, we didn't have computerized ignore buttons. We had to learn to ignore manually -- sometimes with only a stick and a paper bag.
I often think it would be nice to have some sort of trained sparrow that flew around my head eating mosquitoes.
Maybe a posse of dragon flies.
The snack cheeses with individual servings sealed in paraffin seem darned handy. The wax gives your camp fire a little boost, too.
It's Buddhist humor. If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha. It means, ask the question if you must, but find out for yourself; basically Hike Your Own Hike.
If snowsurfer sees malice in my...
Settin' up base camp for the summer?
Who else here wished they had a circus tent and the resources to set it up?
Remember that lesson when you go to take a leak.
That's more of a cat thing.
Zen Master Lin Chi: "If you meet snowsurfer on the AT, kill snowsurfer."
Now you've made me wonder. Before that oil strike, did that one room cabin house Jed, Granny, Elly May and also cousin Jethro? That seems a little too damn cozy.
Or did Jethro join them just as...
I'm with you. I enjoy the forests in New England so much more when the chill drives the mosquitoes away.
However, I will retain a romanticized version of my memories of those places in the world...
Some say yes. Some say no.
One might argue that you left out the massive third choice of hiking the AT without encountering any necessity for a gun fight.
But, I don't know you. Maybe people do want to kill you everywhere...
Even though this most recent tragic case has brought guns back into the discussion, I don't think it would have made a difference in this one case.
I have no doubt that a 24-year-old woman in...
Amen to that. If you think somebody is going to shoot you with a pistol, move! It's hard enough to hit a stationary target. One that's bobbing around is ten times as hard.
Frankly, I've gotten to the point I don't even want to make eye contact when passing women on the trail. If she says hello, I'll respond, but most of the time I'm pretending to admire the scenic...
Not to knock anybody's grocery money, but I think paid subscription style publishing doesn't thrive on the web nearly as well as ad based. None of the $billion web sites use subscriptions.
Oh, yuck! Good to know, but in this case the gorp won't make it through the day. I was just in the mood for a snack.
When the president of the United States goes for a walk, he's surrounded by a team of alert, highly trained and well armed professionals. He's still not 100% protected. Your best defense,...
If it's some hard cheese, a loop of dental floss works well, too. Just wrap and pull.
