Maybe another line could be "Bottled and shipped." But never mind me, I'm being inappropriate.

I could never do it, no matter how much adrenaline drip it gave me. I had a horrible bike wreck on Feb 5th, 1984, so you can see why. Sweet haiku if you are not me.

Lol, gotcha, mine was Oct 4th '95, knocked my lights out for a week...but left me thirsty for it after, I couldn't wait to get back to it (took 8mos) addiction cemented/demented. I did it for 20yrs. Retired now, it's slow lane for me. Got a concussion in May which led me to figure out I've had Post-Concussion syndrome spanning from that wreck. ;) Thank you Caren xo, mo!

Oh and so much fun! Even when it sucked (snow storms etc) the high from doing it was incomparable. I never broke anything at work, it was always the extra curricular... ;p Thank you Arthur! xomo
