There's nothing wrong wit...I'm with Barry. There's nothing wrong with studiously avoiding contentious subjects, but if you're <i>provoked</i>... well, all bets (and the gloves) should be off.<br /><br />Questions, etc. ... I think horse racing IS more dangerous than hockey. There have been very, very few deaths on the ice (only one comes to mind and that was in the rather distant past). I did some quick googling and found this:<br /><br /><i>There have been ~35,500 games played in the post-expansion NHL. Figuring 40 participants per game, that is 1.4 million man-hours of hockey. In that sample, we've seen one accidental death: Bill Masterton way back in 1968. The death rate is 0.7 per million hours of NHL hockey. He is the only player in NHL history to die as a direct result of an on-ice incident, and he'd probably still be alive today if he had been wearing a helmet.</i><br /><br />re: Fat Tire. Glad you liked it! I'd still recommend you keep your eye out for Mothership Wit, which is also a New Belgium beer... and it's lighter than Fat Tire.<br /><br />Finally: Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, just when you think you've got someone pegged...well, like you said.<br /><br />I'll be reading when you get back at it.

My son and his lady friend ...Liberal family guests? My son and his lady friend have been totally indoctrinated by British socialism. My son knows that I think he is deluded and I promised not to say anything political while they were here but...<br /><br />I couldn't keep biting my tongue. At first they said I was "patronizing." Later they asked questions. Of course they are still young and fairly open-minded. <br /><br />You can bite your tongue but don't chew it.Jouberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970872086435575755noreply@blogger.com
