Quote from CoachLou: “I torn a meniscus in April........after 3 months of getting fat after shoulder surgery. It was on a 5 mile day hike!!! My Doc said, "Gee Lou lots of folks live with this, but I know you want to return to your regularly scheduled activities"....."I can can fix this" Well, I carried 20 lbs, 4 miles, last week .

Quote from LIhikers: “Quote from max.patch: “There's a local who posts a picture on FB every time he is at McAfee. I think he's up to 443. ” I don't get why someone would go to the place over 400 times ? ” I guess you could say they really must like it.

Quote from odd man out: “i see some rule changes being considered. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/345513…-sources-say?platform=amp A couple things i dont get. Why does the batter have to be "alert". I thought any pitch with the batter in the box was legit. Also, why prohibit infielders from playing on the grass. I don't equate that with a shift. Doesn't the 2nd baseman usually play in shallow right field grass with no shift? ” As for the grass 1. Easier to tell which side of bag you are in the dirt, 2.…

Quote from max.patch: “Quote from StalkingTortoise: “In the Smokies, tenting is allowed at all shelters regardless of thru-hiker status. You can tent even if you have a bunk reservation to support social distancing. Yay! ” I've been telling people the last couple years that NOW is the time to hike the AT in the GSMNP as they have temporarily waived the requirement to sleep in the shelters. The hostel at Mountain Crossings is still closed becasue of Covid. Sometime in the nearish future they will…

Quote from StalkingTortoise: “ There are a few places where I wouldn't mind taking a cruise. Australia is one of them. The major cities are so far apart that driving would consume most of my time.

The Bomber Mafia by Malcolm Gladwell. Excellent book about Curtis LeMay and Air Force in Word War 2. Actually Army Air Corp at the time, and includes interesting time between WW 1 and 2. I often totally disagree with his conclusions, but Gladwell is a great researcher and an excellent story teller. One of the best keynote speakers I have ever heard at a conference.
