    Fo' Sho' Wildwest! I wonder how much speed is a factor? Around here, you'd be hard pressed to find many roads with a 65 mph limit, except the interstates....so, in total interstate miles, easterners have alot less roads (in miles), than some of those big western states......and I think our average mph is lower too. Wondering how much speed is a factor in the accidents from these surveys.

    Your own private luge track!!

    This odd bugger was unstoppable with 4 studded snows, interesting lil car, front wheel drive and could engage the rear axle (thus 4 studded snows). Pic off internet, mine rode a few inches higher, think this one is FWD).

    Curling. Could you help me out here Woodwidow .
    We've been watching the curling on the Olympics and have a little problem understanding the game and scoring.
    What is the Power Play and when do they invoke it?
    How is the game scored?
    What is the "Hammer" they talk about?
    I told my wife I was going to marry one of those curling ladies. She asked why? I said, "those gals are good with the broom. I would have the cleanest house in the county." Needless to say, she did not find much humor in it.

    Excuse me,

    That particular motion they do with the brooms would be much more effective






    for mopping!

    I've actually curled.

    The brooms are used like that to heat up the ice to allow the stone to go further.

    That's all I got. Our Wisconsinite curling siblings lost after beating the Russians in the Olympics.

    But they know how to deal with it. Matt on the left drinking with a canadian curler. matt-hamilton-and-john-morris.jpg
