A good scrub of your body will reduce the flies - perhaps with a

And if you were to die, you would no longer attract the mosquitos.

I have never seen a name with so many consonants in it. There is something
totally screwed up with the Slavic languages. The Poles seem to be the worst
in this regard.
Note my name if you please. So sensible a name has never existed except in
the lovely green land of Ireland - and one that is easy to say and spell
too. I think it means in Irish "the dark one". Yea, I go to sleep every
night muttering my name under my breath. It is music to my ears. Imagine
going to sleep every night muttering the name Krygowksi. God! Such a name
would give me nightes!

Yes. That's the "to work in the rain" bike.
I rode the Trek in today. And likely the the rest of the week.
I did see another recumb over the weekend on a bike path.

I've grown my stable to three. The TourEasy is my rain-bike

too.

As a fishing technique, effective for catfish, though some might

method when trolling for Dolan here.

I only know what I read in the liberal mass media about the Eskimo and his
drunken ways. But are not all those people from Northeastern Siberia, which
is also the home of all the original inhabitants of the Americas. DNA
studies have conclusively proven that. In other words, they are all
Mongoloids. Is Floyd also a Mongoloid or is he a Caucasoid? I don't think he
is a Negroid as I doubt there are any Negroes stupid enough to be living in
Barrow, Alaska. It takes a really dumb Caucasoid like Floyd to think that
Barrow is a good place to settle down.
But Hells Bells, I don't blame the Eskimo for being nothing but a drunken
savage. If I had to live in that godforsaken land, that is what I would do
too. I would just drink and drink until it killed me. Either that, or get
the hell out of there. It is really very strange in this day and age that
anyone would choose to live in such a frozen land. Floyd lives there because
he is crazy, but surely not all Eskimos are crazy. They must know there is a
better world for them to be living in than the high arctic.
All this talk about drinking has made me thirsty. Please excuse me now while
I hop on my trusty bike and make a run to the local liquor store to get some
of my favorite vino. Just thinking about crazy Floyd there in frozen Barrow,
Alaska, is enough to drive anyone to drink.

My God! We do not want this lunatic back in our sacred cycling precincts. If
you listen to him you will end up in Barrow yourself hunting the g.d. whale
and drinking yourself to death like the freaking Eskimos.
I hear the high arctic is melting away due to global warming and that the
polar bear will soon be extinct. Now if we could just figure out a way to
make old Floyd extinct. How he can ride any kind of a bicycle in Barrow is
one for the books. Do they even have any roads there?
According to Floyd, we should all be taking our vacations in Barrow in
January. There we would never see the sun, and enjoy 50 degrees below zero.
The main thing we should take with us when we go there on our vacations is
plenty of liquor so we can get as drunk as the natives. After all, when you
are living that far north, you do not want to see, feel or hear anything -
except maybe the beating of your own heart just to reassure you that you
have not died and gone to a very cold and dark Hell. Greenland, anyone?

An opportunity here, what with Edward Dolan providing an
example! All the perspective needed is summed up in a nasty

A: It prevents the Irish from ruling the world.
Applied to what Dolan writes, and it all becomes much easier to

A feller here named Jim, who is a past mayor of Barrow (as is

them, or Jim and his young son, cruise around town often on it.

Eugene has some reflective qualities and is not as dense as Floyd. He also
likes to contribute something to the group instead of just attacking all the
time like Floyd. Floyd should take a few cues from Eugene and get with the
program.
I have severely criticized anyone who would freely choose to live in Barrow,
Alaska, surely one of the sink holes of the world. Floyd needs to explain to
the group what the hell it is that he does there in January, besides hunker
down and drink like all the Eskimos and Indians (Athabascans) do. Minnesota
is also the pits in the winter, but the North Slope of Alaska is infinitely
worse. It is a cold and dark Hell there in January and anyone who says
otherwise is a fool.

I spend many hours a day looking at PBS on TV and there are numerous
programs that tell how the Eskimos (and the American Indian too) are into
nothing but drinking themselves to death. I only have to go a few miles
south to the Omaha and Winnebago Indian Reservations to see it for myself.
However, as a true blue Irishman, I am not too critical of those who want to
drink. Hells Bells, sometimes it is the only thing that makes it possible to
go on living.

I think old Floyd, the would-be Eskimo, has a Tour Easy recumbent, not an
ideal bike for riding on gravel roads.

You are welcome to the cold and dark Hell that is the high arctic. Be sure
to go there in January. May you perish there of your stupidity - along with
old Floyd of Barrow, Alaska!

To stay strictly on the subject of bikes is the most boring thing in the

I have met some of these Eskimos.
I was sitting in an all you can eat crab feed in Los Anchorage killing
time before a plane one winter when one such local decided to walk in
and sit across from me at the table. He was far more pitiful than a
real threat (unlike my old man).
That does not mean that all of the Native-Americans are drunks.
And they are also trying to do something about it.
And I have been multiply mistaken as an Athebascan.

You cannot understand the Irish without being thoroughly grounded in the
Roman Catholic Faith. The Irish, like the Poles, are ever faithful to the
Roman Church and have been saddled with a clergy that was everything to
them. However, when an Irish Catholic falls away from the Faith, then watch
out as the Devil Himself is loose. But even a fallen-away Irish Catholic
never completely escapes his childhood faith.

I think Floyd, the would-be Eskimo, lives in Barrow year-around. If you are
only there in the summer, then you obviously are not as stupid as he is.

Nope, I wrote it correctly. I meant to imply that Scott was stupid to want

have told him that Antarctica was an "awful place."

Undoubtably true.
Therefore the non-Catholic portions of the, Asia, Africa, the
Middle-East, the Protestian parts need not attempt an otherwise
impossible task for Crusaders to learn about opposition forces?

A Romantic sounding notion, but in the current Crusade, that likely will
never cut it.

The words "would" and "if" makes what follows conditional. I wrote it

I have read many books about Antarctica. That is why, like Scott, I know it
is an awful place. But I do not have to go there to discover that first
hand, unlike some idiots I know.
By the way, some media reports on faraway places are better than others. I
pretty much trust the National Geographic channel to report truthfully.

As the Northern most US town, it has diural cycles unlike the lower 48.
It's surrounded on most sides by water. A large number of birders go
there which may be a good indicator of climate change. The physical
environment has toughened prior generations, what this means for future
generations is unknown and likely going to involve change and loss of
some cultural knowledge. Homes are shacks scattered all over the place
which contrasts to the Cartesian layout of some villages on
the North Slope post pipeline. Floyd is correct in that it
has a more diverse population that just the local indigenous people.
But this does not mean that Floyd has succeeded in gaining full
acceptance into their community. Floyd does have access in information
not covered in the touristy guidebooks. He has travelled to other parts
of his state. This last sentence can't be easily appreciated by
lower-48ers because roads don't play a part in AK as they do in the
lower 48. Yet there is substantial Internet penetration. The locals
are fairly well educated and get around.

Only if you think Antarctica is a "neat place."
I have read that the national flag of Antarctica, if it were a nation, would
be composed of just two colors equally divided half and half. The top half
would be just blue and the bottom half would be just white. That is because
that is pretty much what most of Antarctica looks like. In short, NOT a neat
place. The Amazon, anyone?

That is pretty much all that community of scientists do down there. None of
them could survive a week if it weren't for various technological miracles.

Yes, Barrow is a scientific resource for study and that is about all it is.
It is like Antarctica that way. I'll take soggy old Juneau any day of the
week and twice on Sunday.
I believe that most folks travel around Alaska by airplane. That would not
work for me. I do not like to fly. Do you not know that being in the air is
for the birds, being in the water is for the fish and being on the land is
for us humans.

No one, but no one, can troll the Great Ed Dolan. On the other hand, I can
easily troll all the suckers and bottom feeders who infest ARBR.
Apparently Meinecke stays current on this newsgroup although he never makes

simply by reading what Ed Dolan the Great writes to this miserable
newsgroup, otherwise known as ARBR.
Meinecke was one of the main things that was wrong with this group when push

Interestingly Floyd had his turn with Mr. Ed about 18 months ago.
In short order, Floyd made mincemeat of him without raising a sweat.
After Floyd ID'ed Ed's "raging bull" as "mooing cow mode...", here's
the best Ed could offer. Classic.

I did a short bike campout this weekend, local state park, ACE lake.
Nice stand of Post Oak and Cedar Elm masked nearby other campsites.
Noise was another issue. rec.frontcountry, really.
I packed gear in the underseat panniers and rode the Tour Easy. I
noticed the bike was making a creak/click with pedal rotation under
load and tried to locate. Thought it might be from the crank. The bike
has almost 9000 miles on it.
Coming home Sunday, about three miles from home, as I tried to
accelerate away from at stop light, I discovered the actual source of
the sound: the middle front chainring tacoed. Turns out the was a
crack in the chainring and under heavy preasure it finally gave way.
I finished the ride in the big chainring.

I remain net.omnivorous. Selective.
I have to go out of my way to see Mr. Ed's unoriginal content in its
original form. A few weeks ago, he apparently claimed "net.fungus"
as his species. Tinea cruris, according to someone who quoted his
post.

I don't ever recall having any conversation with anyone name Eugene Miya
before. The only Floyd I recall is some idiot from Barrow, Alaska who argued
that the Eskimo was superior to the Norse because the Eskimo hunted the g.d.
whale and was able to survive in the high arctic by doing so whereas the
Norse chose not to do that and were therefore not able to survive - as no
sensible human should ever want to do in the first place. Floyd was nothing
but a freaking idiot for living in Barrow - a regular paradise on this earth
no doubt! I think Floyd thought he was an Eskimo himself!

Nope, I do not trust a cowardly weasel like Meinecke to ever go to a link of
his. The rest of you do so at your peril.

This is what is wrong with a character like Meinecke. He has kill-filed me
so he only sees what others' quote from my messages. This is fundamentally
unfair to me, but what does Meinecke know of fairness. His hypocrisy is
overwhelming. I read his messages as he writes them, but he does not do the
same with me. Yet, he feels free to comment on me and my messages.
Once you have kill-filed someone it is only fair that you no longer comment
on whoever it is that you have kill-filed. However, since I have not
kill-filed him and read all of his messages, I am perfectly free to comment
on him and his messages. Kill-filers are the most incredibly stupid people
in the world.

I am not imagining anything in connection with Meinecke. He pretended to
have the best interests of ARBR at heart, but he proved to be nothing but a
craven coward. Ed Gin said boo and Meinecke fainted dead away. His surname
is mud as far as I am concerned.

I respond to almost everyone who addresses any of my messages. But I do so
on my terms only. I always end up talking about what I want to talk about,
not what someone else might want me to talk about. Therefore, I cannot be
trolled. Only dunces allow themselves to be trolled.
My Greatness comes from a persona I have created for Usenet purposes. I am
sick and tired of all the nonentities who infest Usenet. For God's sakes,
they do not even use their real names. I decided from day one that I was not
going to be a cipher like all the rest of them. Therein lies my Greatness!

You would have had to experience Ed Gin to know what I am talking about. He
was totally mindless and into nothing but name calling. He stepped on every
thread with his spamming messages. He forged other's real names and
addresses as well as using dozens of different user names himself. All of
his posts were through proxies. He never responded to anything that was
said. He in effect destroyed ARBR because no one on the group (except for a
few of us) had the guts to fight him.
Mr. Meinecke always prided himself on being somewhat responsible for good
Usenet etiquette, yet when push came to shove he absented himself. That is
why I do not like him much. Yes, he is intelligent, but what good is
intelligence without courage?
Poor Mr. Meinecke does not know a troll from a hole in the ground. When a
real troll showed up he was out to lunch. Note how I have responded to your
message. Does it seem like I am trolling you? However, I am prepared to
take you to task for your constipated one-liners if you wish.

It appears that Mr. Meinecke is reading my humble messages after all, even
though he remains too fear stricken to ever respond directly to anything I
say. This is why I constantly refer to him as a weasel, a creature known for
its slithery, sideways behavior.

The folks in RBM are even dumber than the folks who pollute ARBR. Let us not

about that group.

No one is going to look up any of the above. Way too much work!
Mr. Meinecke has had me down as a troll from day one, not ever realizing
that all he was getting, along with everyone else, was nothing but
quintessential Ed Dolan. I have no interest in trolling. That is for idiots.
Ed Gin was truly the only troll that ARBR ever had from my perspective.
Flabby was a one note Johnny and essentially harmless.
It is really too bad that Mr. Meinecke and I do not get along better as we
have many similar interests when it comes to how a newsgroup should conduct
itself. However, personality clashes often determine everything in this
world of woe and there is no help for it. I simply can't stand his Germanic
stolidity. He seems not to have even a spark of Irish lightness.

No.
I'm a book reviews editor Jon, I just got 3 book in the mail for "free"

Fishing
Noodlers do it bare handed.
Bears do it bear handed.
Trollers here do it ham-handed, mostly. Poor technique,
no finese, noise only.

_Blue Bear_ is a lighter read than most of that, I'm sure.
A nice read on vacation or traveling. Interesting story, tragic
ending,-- or not in some Zen way. Not really a story about
bears. You know the "ending" from the introduction. Some
Alaskan culture and history, mainly a personal tale.
I see it is available as an E-book. I picked up a used copy
for a couple of bucks. Will pass it on.

Finesse is wasted on this newsgroup. It is most especially wasted on Jon
Meinecke, who has ever proven himself to be a weasel. Do weasels even have
any sophistication? All Meinecke is good for is posting his cryptic nonsense
and then running and hiding from those who would answer him. He did that
with Ed Gin, the ONLY troll this newsgroup has ever had, and he does it with
the Great Ed Dolan too.
Of all the vices, cowardice is the most despicable. I will take a JimmyMac
and a Tom Sherman any day to a weasel like Jon Meinecke. Screw it! I will
even take wankers like Flabby to a Jon Meinecke.

I am skeptical of the windwraps/zzippers because they don't extend up
high enough to shield your head (like a motorcycle windscreen does!).
People say that BIG bugs bounce off them, but my particular problem is
riding into sunset-time clouds of tiny gnats that probably won't
"bounce" much if at all. And $300-$350 is a lot to pay for something
that might not help at all with the problem you have. ....The other
advantages (faster speed and riding in cold weather) don't interest me
that much, but I might pay $350 to never be covered with gnats again. I
just don't think the commercial fairings can do it though.
Also I have seen (!) that if you have a SWB with above-seat steering,
putting a headlight on the bars attracts bugs to where they collide with
your face. And to work the windscreen would need to be attached close yo
your face, which meant fixing it to the SWB bars, which I didn't think
would work well for steering's sake. I gots a LWB now, maybe I'll get
out the heat gun and waste some lexan again.

Varies with the area. Mosquitos breed in standing water, so in swampy
areas, or areas with standing water, they will be around much longer.
Black flies breed in running water, which is why there are far more of
them in the Spring during and just after the snowmelt runoff.
Bugs will be gone by the time the first serious snowstorm hits.

Nice to know how versatile the little bloodsuckers are.
In general, rain followed by warm weather will create an upsurge in
the bug population. This weekend in NH, for example (guess where I am

We here in Minnesota go directly from winter into summer. Our springs are
the pits. I have heard tell that other sections of the country have
magnificent springs, often lasting a month or more. But that is not the case
here.
Yesterday I had the heat on in the house as it was so chilly and today it
has become like summer. There are even flies and mosquitoes buzzing about
the house. How can all of this happen in a single day?
Minnesota is gorgeous in the summer time, but the rest of the year it is
strictly for polar bears. It is my aim in life to die in a warm spot, like
maybe Panama or Costa Rica.
