If it makes you feel any better now, you'll feel worse tomorrow. :)

Never heard of him. Of course, I don't follow NASCAR.

BTW, what does NASCAR stand for?

bah...

I should be okay. I'm not really hurting - just exhausted. If I had planned better, I would have gotten a bunch of shit done on Friday (when the base was locked down) and been able to go back to the slopes tomorrow.

Uh...Nat'l Assoc. of Stock Car....Racing? Something like that.

I swear the PT Cruiser and the Mini Cooper are the two ugliest cars on the road. Talk about terrible design ideas. The PT Cruiser looks like a shoe. The Mini Cooper is shaped like a box. I saw a black Mini Cooper and it was the ugliest car I'd ever seen.

DO THE PT AND THE CRUISER JAM WITH A BASEBALL BAT

Aren't you in South Dakota? Ellsworth?

heh

Yeppers!

I don't mind the PT Cruiser, the Scion xB is the ugliest vehicle currently in production IMO.

I should tell you that Jim Rose is now a blogger on BRB.

I was up that way back in 2004. We stayed in Deadwood and hit all the usual places in the Black Hills. I'd love to come up and ride the Mickelson trail on my mountain bike sometime, that looks really cool. I'd have to get my butt in shape for that though. You're lucky to be there, the AF was thinking about closing that base down a couple years ago. Although I'm sure you are aware of that.

Hehe, I saw that when I was lurking the other day. That place is even better in the offseason, all they do all day is talk about how everyone is out to get them. Effing hilarious.

This area is beautiful - but dang I get tired of the wind and rapid temp fluctuations. I hope we get more snow though - we definately need all the moisture we can get.

We were on the closure list again in '05 - but managed to stay open. I would have been shocked if this place closed down. It would cripple the economy here and we certainly wouldn't want to do something that would make sense for the military vs the local civilian community. (ie. rebuilding the damn base in MS that is BELOW sea level.) Either way, we have several new missions coming into the base over the next couple years - so hopefully we won't have to jump thru the hoops at the next BRAC go-along. We probably will though.... politics.....

I'm collapsing now........................
