Fisher Times-Post-Dispatch-Courier Comments http://michaelfisher.blogsome.com A spilling of yet another mind out onto the digital paper.

As we prepared our ascent, a young lady started running up the trail. We thought, "Well, if she can run, then we shouldn't have any problems with a leisurely walk." After two hours and a couple of miles, we looked and felt like roadkill. We decided to take a much needed break at the halfway point. That's when the young lady came running back down the trail; she wasn't even sweating. Wordlessly, we turned around then and there. We spent the rest of the day hydrating in the air conditioned hotel. Good luck with the training.

Good luck with the training.

I found it amusing the next morning when I read the Bristol paper about the game, the sports writer was making a point of the fact that the defense won the game for Tech, as if that were a bad thing. Hey, Tech has been winning games with their defense for 25 years, that's what we call "Hokie Football". The defense winning games is a good thing because winning games is a good thing.

Sad when I can go to the games for free, just need to pick up tickets, and decide it isn't worth the trouble... of course, last i heard etsu lost what little team they had, so maybe i should be grateful. wish i could stick up for my school (FSU), but as little as I know about football, i know the past two years have been painful to watch.

And what a testament to the ability of our engineers to produce quality rovers at less than top dollar.
