I think that's wiser for anybody 40+.

I didn't drive until I was 22. I might have had some substance use issues when I was 15, 16 years old, but I was certainly not in denial. I knew that I had no business driving because until I was almost 17, I was high on weed more often than not, and I liked to drink as often as I could acquire alcohol. For years after that, it was partly inertia, but also that I got around great with a skateboard and a bus pass, and that was a lot cheaper than having a car.

Well be careful with that too. Remember how you fell a couple
of times when you first got it.

On the news this morning that Simon Cowell broke his back
on an E-bike. They they followed up with a report that
many older people are getting E-bikes and having accidents.
As the E-bike can go faster, a faster fall can be more
dangerous.

Any activity has it's risks though and I won't stop doing what
I like to do because of the risk.

One exception for me is maybe surfing. I've watched too many
of those shark documentaries lately and it makes me feel so
darn lucky so far. So many times in the past 50 years and
I could have been a stastistic. The shark attack frequency
is rising too.

Hmmmm.

I think most boardwalks along the ocean were originally
made of board planking, hence the name.

In my lifetime, all that I've seen have been replaced
with concrete. Mine here is about 3 miles long and smooth
and good for skating.

Best fun is to go on a windy day. First skate into the wind,
like walking uphill on a mountain. Then turn and skate with
the strong wind. Often just a few skating motions to get
moving and the wind will push you all the way to the other end.
Fun to do.

I saw something yesterday on the bike group I belong about him having
an accident.

Many e-bikes have gears to help control your speed and the pedal assist
also controls speed. You can preach all day, but if you zoom along on
something you don't know how to control and not paying attention, you'll
definitely find yourself in an accident. Many don't take into consideration
the weight of these bikes, either.

I'd break something. Skating and roller skating are not for me. The
last time I ice skated, I raced my brother. Except he can skate and I
had to use willpower. I ended up with a concussion.

And on a cold, windy winter day there are very few people there.
That's when the oceanfront is especially nice.

you're kidding, right? Boardwalks are no longer made of boards but
cement instead? You can tell I haven't been to Atlantic City or
elsewhere like that in a donkey's years.
Boardwalks in the national parks are still made of boards. At least
the national parks that I go to are still making them of boards.

Still many boardwalks (wooden) available but many oceanfront ones
have switched to concrete. Rather than get destroyed by the ocean
during hurricanes, they act as seawalls and resist destruction
and erosion.

I'm sure there are some oceanfront ones too but not so much
these days. Mine is about 3 miles long and all concrete.

The few "walks" in my nearby state park are all wooden.

Here in Long Island, NY, it's nice and all weird-concrete-metal-whatever.

National Parks use wooden walkways, nothing permanent like concrete
that would alter the esthetics. The scenery from NY boardwalks is so
spectacular that words are inadequate. The New York Boardwalks; Coney
Island, Rockaways, Riiss Park, etal are all made of boards/lumber.
They are good for walking, pushing carriages, wheelchairs, bike
riding. They are very sturdy, and have withstood the severest
hurricanes. Brooklyn's boardwalks offer the most spectacula vistas on
the planet and the exqusite aromas from food cooking are unmatched
anywhere. I can clearly understand how a skinny melink can scoff down
a hundred Nathans hotdogs, it's the scenery, the salt air, and the
most spectacular wimmens parading their goods on the boardwalk in the
teeniest bikinis.

I tell folks that the best reason not to fry as much as I do is, "...because you don't want your kitchen to look like mine." If you don't want silk shirts melded to your chest, and that's understandable, wear a cotton shirt, or no shirt.

Fried chicken is a popular dish on this rock. We have a wide range of ways to fry chicken. Chicken karaage is pretty popular these days. My guess is that Hawaiian fried chicken will be popular on the mainland. It's tasty chicken that's easy to eat but it's not Hawaiian - it's Japanese.

What spectacular scenery or spectacular vista? It's water, buildings
and people.

Nice, but run of the mill. You can find that in many places.

Ugh. Sheldon's world is so limited in every respect.

Ubein bridge in Myanmar is far more beautiful. We rode bikes from
Mandalay to Ubein bridge a few years ago... couldn't have been a more
wonderful day.

They filled in the water with dirt and sand that was shipped-in.

Marvelous! Bravo! Fantastic! Three cheers! Brilliant! But I believe
his question was about f.r.i.e.d. c.h.i.c.k.e.n. and not about *smoked

You need to work on your reading skills, too. By any chance are either of
you related since reading comprehension is not a strong suit with either
of you.

I have always found that a good quality blender works great for making
smoothies.

Lol but you just reminded me of a smoothie something:

I remember several years ago, someone was going through serious
and
ongoing dental surgery issues and asked here how they could eat
good
food without having to chew.

I suggested cooking a few dinner things then put it all into a
blender along with a bit of liquid just to allow the blender
to turn it into a smoothie like meal. It was a theory only...I
had never done that.

So awhile later, I tested my theory, and for certain combinations
it worked very well and satisfying.

First, I cooked a turkey pot pie with extra vegetables. Put into
a blender with about 1/2 cup water (just so it was liquid enough
for the blender to work). Turned it into a thick mush and had
that for dinner. No chewing yet thick enough to be satisfying
along with a slice of soft buttered bread.

Then I tried that with a frozen dinner (don't remember which
one). It also worked very well blended the same way.

How's that story for 'thread drift'? ;-D

The last time I was in Virginia City, they had boardwalks and choo-choo
trains and silver mine attractions and Pipers Opera House and a old-timey
cemetery and the Delta Saloon. They also had ostrich races and a mountain
oyster festival. Some or all of that stuff still exists. I havent been
there in thirty years, because it's forty miles away on a road where you have
to want to go there and isnt convenient to anywhere else.
I hope they still have a boardwalk. I cant imagine that they wouldnt. I
spent many weeks of my youth there.
I €œthink€� West Yellowstone had boardwalks too, back in the day. Memory
fades.

Weird experience. I've never been there. Virginia Beach has 17th Street on the beach with restaurants, bars, shopping, etc...

Walking on boards is very cool. You know you're in for an experience of some sort. You might be walking on an area devastated by lava, or a bog swamp, or some old-timey place.

Ostrich race? That's nutty as hell. We like to race kakaroach.

17th street doesn't have much of anything actually. That's where
I buy gas and next door use the Rite-Aid there. My mechanic
has his shop there. I can't think of a single restaurant
on that street for at least 5 miles inland. No bars either
and minimal shopping.

Also called "Virginia Beach Blvd." It's the original main
highway from Norfolk all the way to the oceanfront. Once you
get about a mile from the ocean, it's known as 17th Street.

Most of the bars, restaurants and tourist souvenir shops
are on Atlantic Ave from about 10th St. to 31st St. Some on
Pacific Ave, just one block inland.

Many other good places within a mile or 3 from the oceanfront
to shop or eat but the actual tourist part is very small...
about 2 miles long and 2 blocks wide. That's it.

The first chapter is almost a like prologue, but there are not a lot of guys who are into romantic comedies, even literary ones. You should consider reading it, at least the four consecutive chapters (Ann, Lady Bear, Cinnamon Buns and Sandy Beach), where the Ann character is integrated into the tale. It's only 73 pages, but I'd strongly recommend a box of tissues.
