I wander about New England's mountains. Sometimes I write about it. Punk rock and endurance sports might have saved my life

my sincere hope is that Donnie Short Fingers gets the Benedict Arnold treatment by American history & society.

Despite being THE key general in the Continental Armies northern success, Arnold's betrayal means there is no monument, no places named, no honors save for a small plaque at West Point.

I'm afraid that's a distinction without a difference for those who think that way.

I've been using Star glide products both liquid and block for 4 years now.

The only problem is they have A LOT of options and a few are rarely if ever winners.

Even with that they make for a complicated kit, but I'll keep using their wax because it often wins.

I'm guessing this is all a reverse psychology effort to make travelling by train preferred.
