Oh, and just out of curiosity, do you even have any hills in Minnesota?

WTF?  Did I say I moved to Kansas, Dorothy?    

By coastal standards, much of Minnesota is flat--not unlike most of Cali, for that matter.  What we do have here are thousands and thousands of lakes, rivers and waterways and typically these accompany hilly areas and varied terrain.  As you know--the mighty Mississippi goes smack tab though Minneapolis and the bluffs along the St. Croix are a big part of what makes that waterway a designated and protected national scenic waterway.  There are probably few areas in the country more beautiful and ideal for boating/sailing than the St. Croix from Stillwater down to the confluence of the Mississippi in Prescott, WI...but let's get one thing straight, Duck...  I don't swim it--I boat it.  When I want to go biking, I generally turn a key and go zoom zoom and carry my ass up a hill just as fast/slow as I desire--not pumpin' pedals up the middle of a 40 degree incline in heat that would make a panty mess-load of Chef's chocolate salty balls...  When I want a cool drink, I pull into the nearest watering hole with an outdoor patio and enjoy a nice ice-cold fresh mint mojito...not reach down between my legs to pull a bottle of tepid slobber water out of my ass...    

So, I guess that makes me fat/unhealthy, eh?  Guess again, scarecrow.  You know why?  Because I'm not black/white.  For example, just last week I rode my bicycle the 10 mile loop along the Mississippi from Minnehaha Falls to my stop underneath the new 35W bridge in DT Mpls--and thats uphill damn near the whole way back.  Also, last week I bladed two laps of the 3.8 mile loop around Lake Calhoun.  You see Duck--I don't hate motorcyclist's--because I am one.  However, because I am one--that doesn't mean I have to hate bicyclist's because I'm one of those, too...  I just don't give a shit to pound myself into all these little boxes that pervade most people's world.  I am whatever the fuck I choose to be that day--and sometimes I surprise even myself.  This is what I've been trying to pound into the heads of you and JnC for some time in regard to politics--but I fear the disease has taken over and turned too much brain matter into the matter of fecal variety on that issue for you two pencil dicks...

I find it ironic that you would even consider labeling me black/white because nothing could be further than the truth... but that's okay.  I forgive you for one of your little intuitive outbursts that are completely disconnected from the facts.    

That picture is beautiful.  I guess Minnesota has more than ice fishing.

And why would I think you're fat and/or unhealthy?  I knew you did some biking and valued fitness... and as far as I'm concerned, it's all good.  Few people are as obsessive as I am, but I am certainly not judgmental of someone who is doing less.  Just as long as you do something to take care of yourself and not burden our society with your self-induced obesity, I consider you to be a kindred spirit.

By the way, I get a pretty decent view when I do my regular bike rides in the Berkeley/Oakland hills.
