Hot and humid is only 2 of the main factors. A breeze makes all
the difference in the world. So many hot and humid mornings here
in the summer. I always go out at dawn and many mornings it's
like walking into a steamy bathroom. Will be sweating just
walking out to the van. It's almost always dead calm at that
time.

Add a little breeze though and the difference is amazing. Riding
a bike in hot humid weather, you are creating that breeze and the
heat, humidity doesn't feel so bad at all.

I live one mile from 3 grocery stores. I often buy perishables as
it's only 5 minute ride home on bicycle. On nice mornings, I'll
often go for a bike ride on the oceanfront, then stop at a
grocery and just buy a few things. 1-2 bags of light stuff. Easy
to ride home quickly carrying that in one hand and still holding
the handlebars.

That's because you live 5 miles from a grocery store, not one
mile or less.
I'll also bet you don't ride 20 miles on a bike. You don't have
the time...you spend it mowing your plantation sitting in your
nifty air-conditioned KUBOKO tractor while listening to an old
Tiny Tim CD.

Your country roads are also somewhat dangerous to bike on. Here
at the beach I have feeder roads, bike trails, boardwalk to ride
safer (from traffic)

It's about three miles to the closest grocery store for me. It is a good
excuse to get out for a bicycle ride.

I do my bike rides in the morning, before it gets hot or windy. That
leaves the afternoon to mow grass.

I feel quite safe on my country roads.

I was talking seeds, NOT seedlings. We plant vegetable seeds directly
into the ground and some in peat pots using sterilized potting soil.
Most all nurseries plant in UNsterilzed soil and so their seedlings
are very likely to be diseased.
As to Walmart's nursery stock, I think it's fine, it comes from the
same wholesaler who supplies all the plant nurseries in the area.
Walmart doesn't grow their own stock. Walmart's nursery stock is just
as healthy as the nearby nurserys only Walmart is limited to selling
ordinary/common plants, anything special/rare/expensive one needs to
go to a large nursery that does their own horticulture and carries
plants from distant horticulturists. And Walmart doesn't sell
*trees*, they sell saplings... I'm too old to plant saplings, can be
20-30 years before it's a tree that offers shade. I mostly plant
trees, and mostly rare trees. I have a friend who's an arborist, he
tells me I have the only Kentucky coffee tree for three counties. When
I planted it 16 years ago it was about 12 feet tall, now it's about 25
feet tall and is looking spectacular. I have several trees that any
arbortorium would be proud to have.

There are many State bike paths in NY, we get a magazine that
describes them, often we put the bikes on the bike rack and drive to
a new path. Tomorrow we'll be mowing all day.

Nothing can match Popeye's stuff, whether it be a meat grinder, cheap

We get the Mag every month, Rails To Trails, NY State has some of the
most scenic bike paths in the country.
http://www.railstotrails.us/
I haven't decided yet who's more ignorant, the dwarf or skanky
hanky... but I have to assume that the skank is uglier because he's
too ashamed to post his 450 pound obeastie pic... I bet the skank
weighs twice as much as the dwarf, and taller lying down than
standing.
And I'm certain both are faggots, neither mentions a woman in their
life. Maybe the dwarf and the skank should hook up... it'd look like
a pair of hippos doing the nasty. Of course the dwarf would be
dominent... the skank is in deep doodoo.

My guess is that you're pretty safe - except from the occasional random madman.

i feel safe from most people but there's a mean
dog between us and the local grocery store so i won't
walk that direction.

i don't walk at night around here, you can get run
over by deer (or drunks coming from the bar).

You are a wise songbird. It's always a good idea to stay away from any creature that can bite, run you over, or accost you.

Metal, in a snug canvas holder suitable for soaking and a Bakelite cap,
with two brass bent wire holders that fit on a adjustable canvas belt
with many, many holes in straight lines with brass grommets? You could
hang several canteens if you wanted. Or ammo. The canvas is olive drab.
Yeah, I have one of those and used it a lot when I used to hunt deer
and chukar.
The whole shebang is cool and, more importantly, functional. Not bad
for a long time ago.

The closest I came to being hit by a deer was mid afternoon in March or
April a couple years. It was nervous because cars had stopped and her
buddies had crossed. She suddenly bolded toward the road, through the
snow in the ditch and leapt. She landed in the middle of the road and
her hard wet hoofs skittered across the road and she almost slid into me.

Damn! I forgot the cup. I was fortunate enough to never have to use it.

I was in the last year of the Vietnam draft. I told my dad that
if I got a draft notice, I would run right down and volunteer for
the Marine Corp. I figured they were better trained and maybe
better chance of surviving a tour of Vietnam.

My dad was high up in the defense department and he responded,
"Are you out of your mind, son? Marines are the first ones they
send in to all the hot spots."

As it turned out, I got a very high draft number pick that year
(335 out of 365), so I never got drafted and I never joined.
Instead, I moved to Virginia Beach to work and surf every day.

whew!

Yes, the canteen and the cup/pot was made of aluminum and the pot
was very handy to me for hiking and camping trips and even early
hunting. I've used it often.

http://www.hostpic.org/images/1806271936020087.jpg

Here's a pic of mine and the utility belt. Belt is different from
Leonards. Mine has all these little pouches sewn on and riveted
on (as you can see from the picture). Do either of you ex-army
guys know what these pouches were meant for? They seem a little
small and tight for ammo. I used them for extra matches and some
first aid stuff but I've always wondered what the Army intended
them to be used for.

Once you lifted up the pouch flap that you see in my pic, there
was another band of fabric underneath to unsnap before to
removing whatever was supposed to be in there.

I tried out a cup of Clover System coffee and it tasted pretty good. I'll be back to try a different bean. The system brews a precision cup of by controlling the variables to a high degree. The idea is that the consumers will get a theoretically perfect cup of brewed coffee. The coffee certainly was not the typically harsh espresso brew. That's a good thing.

Starbucks could see it was a good thing and bought out the company that owned the rights to this gizmo. They shut out the possibility of other coffee shops getting their hand on these machines and are putting back the excitement in the art of coffee brewing. If I can find what I'm looking for at , I'll pay the 5 bucks or so for a cup.
