    For years now the levels of carbon monoxide emitted by new automobiles in
    the US (sorry, don't know about other countries) has been so low that if you
    fire up your (1980 or newer) Buick in a three car or a one car garage, it
    will never kill you. See:http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1273253
    This result may or may not be able to be extrapolated to the big ball we
    live on.

    I notice that you don't go so far as to say that car exhaust is
    actually good for a body, good for you (doing so would have blown your
    cover, you auto-industrial complex shill you;-). I'm still somewhat
    incredulous, despite your citation.[...]

    When I drive downtown, the exhaust from my ULEV certified Honda Civic is
    lower in HC, CO and NOx than the ambient air.

    [...] Also your cited report was created in 1981 testing 1980 model
    chevys - I suspect that the same 1980 models would produce much more
    CO if tested today. The late 70's were a period of peak
    environmentalist activity, but with the 80s came Reaganomics and that
    whole "greed is good" thing. Today the CDC recommends that you <not/>
    operate a motor vehicle in your garage: http://www.cdc.gov/co/faqs.htm
    - I believe this page to have been updated since 1981.[...]

    Of course, a 21st Century ULEV vehicle has a much cleaner exhaust than a
    1980 Chevrolet.

    Of course, some new vehicles are much dirtier than others. I can put my
    face by the tailpipe on my car while it is running and not smell
    anything, while the 2008 Ford F-150 fleet vehicles I occasionally drive
    produce noticeable smoke and odor, even while one standing a few feet
    away and the vehicle is outdoors.

    For heaven's sakes, the only way to kill yourself is to go down to your dirt
    floor basement and hang yourself from the rafters. No one has any sense of
    style anymore. Either do it right, or don't do it at all!

    Check out this intersection:
    <http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Lone+Rock&state=WI&country=US&latitude=43.1833&longitude=-90.1978&geocode=CITY#a/maps/l:::Lone+Rock:WI::US:43.1833:-90.1978:city:/m:hyb:12:43.161737:-90.19582:0::/io:0:::::f:EN:M:/e>.
    While not obvious from an aerial view, the bluff on the south side of
    the Wisconsin River has an almost vertical rock face that starts just a
    few feet beyond the edge of the pavement. Every so often, there is a
    single vehicle "accident" that involved a vehicle coming across the
    bridge at high speed and failing to stop at the "T" intersection.

    My cycling career has been clear of injury from a road bike/recumbent
    standpoint. The only times I can remember going down were those
    embarrasing can't get out of the clips fast enough falls in front of a
    crowd. But for a brief time I got into single trac mountain bike
    riding. It was remarkable in that I would be bleeding after just about
    every ride. I rode with a small group which included a plastic
    surgeon. Over time he got work from most of us. The irony is he had an
    over the bar face plant requiring more plastic surgery than the rest of
    us put together. All of this was definately guy stuff.[...]

    If you are not bleeding after a MTB ride, you are not trying hard enough.

    I was one of this world's champion hikers, sometime 15 miles a day and
    this was in the mountains. I did that for some 10 years all over the
    country on almost a daily basis when I was in my 30's. I don't think I
    ever did anything dangerous, but hikers get into trouble all the time for
    one reason or another. I never was a strong person, so I had to take care
    of myself. Hells Bells, if I had known I was going to live so long, I
    would have taken better care of myself.


    Ah you were a professional hiker. Very good.
    When I was in my thirties I wanted to be a professional bicycle tourist
    and photographer. I was unable to find sponsorship. Or more correctly,
    sponsorship was unable to find me.

    You don't need any sponsorship as long as you are unmarried and willing to
    remain poor all of your life. I take pride in being poor the way some guys
    take pride in being rich. In any event, it was very inexpensive to travel in
    the 60's and 70's.

    To get my perspective on life, read Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild". When you
    are young, you should only be into adventure, not money and jobs or marriage
    and children. Ugh![...]

    Ed is full of it. He is a member of the inherited wealth (admittedly
    quite limited in his case) slacker class. He advocates a life style that
    is not available to most, while deliberately failing to point this out.

    If Ed in his life had to work to keep from being homeless and starving,
    it would have greatly improved his personality.

    Tom, this is overkill and you have to learn to cease and desist from it. No
    one, but one one, is interested in this kind of detail.


    [WARNING - MORBID TOPIC]

    To get back on topic, the area one the north side of the river is quite
    flat [1] and the only curve leaving the village is quite gradual. In a
    fully faired streamliner recumbent, a reasonably strong rider could
    obtain sufficient speed to produce a fatal collision with the rock wall.

  17. Hey guys!!!

    All students deserve to have comfortable buses and also all students deserve to have a good internet connection at a school in which they are studying - an Internet connection with which it is better to use the site about which students read more <- here - it is the service from which students buy narrative essays which teachers ask them! A good internet connection help students to do it quickly before a lesson on which they have to prepare some narrative essay!
