I live in Northeast Georgia where the horizon is hidden from view by Billions of trees, and impressive mountains in all directions. We pay in loss of sight distance for cooler summers than the remaining sections of the state.
This is where the trip to the mail box becomes healthy. My mailbox is approximately 1.2 Miles from my house, and three times weekly I ride my mountain bike on gravel roads out to the black top where our mailboxes are located.
I park my bike, open my mail box, then retrieve mail which I stuff into a black pouch which I wear around my waist for this purpose. Then I make the return ride which includes a fairly long steep climb which ends just before reaching my driveway. As I dismount I am high as a kite, and thank the Lord for my good fortune for first of all; being a Southern born American, and second Living in the mountains.

I’m fairly new to the mountain biking sport. I’ve been working out on my bike for six years now due to knee’s wearing out from running heavily during my military career and afterward. I now take triple strength Glucosamine + Chondroitin to maintain cushion in my joints, which is very effective. That said I must pass on the up-hill-stall I experienced this morning while climbing a steep graveled road in the north Georgia mountains.
The weather is extremely beautiful this morning; a cloudless, crystal clear sky and sunshine bright with the temperature in the upper sixties. During my revelation of a wonderful, but taxing, ride before me I began to climb at least a 30 degree hill on one of our graveled roads, I was standing on my pedals for power, not paying much attention to where any loose gravel was accumulating when I spun out due to stones being torn from the compacted road eliminating any friction with the drive tire causing an instantaneous loss of forward momentum.
I braked quickly and lowered my left foot to the ground. I dismounted to check on the spot on the road that bore the scars of the spin. I noticed there had been a cluster of rocks three to four inches square just under the surface of the run that were obviously not compacted enough to hold together while being forced down hill by the torque of the drive wheel. I made a mental note to always pay attention to the surface conditions at all times.

Unless you are on drugs or are a democrat voter, you have been following the capture and rescue of Richard Phillips the Master of the Maersk-Alabama container freighter. You know how the American Crew fought off armed criminals, aka Pirates, from Somalia with fire hoses, and any other makeshift weapon they could use; how Philips volunteered to surrender to these Terrorist/Pirates/Muslims to spare his crew from possible harm.
You also know that these liberals made their get-away in the ship’s lifeboat while tugging along the Master of the Alabama. There are a few actions of the on scene Commander, the pirates and Obama himself that you may not be aware of, however. For example: The Captain of the USS Bainbridge DDG-96 requested repeatedly for instructions from Obama for offensive action against the Terrorist/Pirates which were never sent.
The “on scene Commander” which is the CO of the Bainbridge, after observing threatening actions from one of the Pirates whom while behind the Master of the Alabama, leveled his AK-47 at the same as preparing to shoot him in the back, ordered the Special Warfare personnel to take out said terrorist, plus the other two, to preserve the Master’s life.
The above action of the CO of the USS Bainbridge is authorized by DOD Directives, and Naval Regulations.
My thoughts: We obviously do not have a strong, courageous Commander-in-Chief of our Magnificent Armed Forces at this time.
God preserve us.
