=============================
At our awards banquet I arrived late so I had to sit at a table full of road
racers. After a couple drinks and a lot of conversation I told them that I
envied them. Why, you ask? Because _their_ courses rarely ever change.
Ours on the other hand are different at every event and we never quite "get
it right".

==============================
I dunno about the bobsled thing. I have visions of the Jamaican bobsled
team and all of their heads bobbing in different directions while wearing
those cute knit caps to hold their dreds in and listening to old Bob Marley
songs. ;^)
Hmm, might be fun after all.
See you on course.
