Now if you want to argue that they were re-introduced, you could, but you'd have to explain the differences between the fossil record and the horses that are out there now. Shall we release some wolves into England and tell the locals it's okay, they belong there. I agree with you on a philosophic basis, bikes are indeed inanimate and if I ever see one out on a trail on its own, I'll order it off the trail. There is no right to bring a bike onto a trail. Why ever do you say such a silly thing. I have every right to ride the trails. |

We just returned something that should never have been killed in the first place. Shall we release some wolves into England and tell the locals it's okay, they belong there. Yes, of course. I agree with you on a philosophic basis, bikes are indeed inanimate and if I ever see one out on a trail on its own, I'll order it off the trail. There is no right to bring a bike onto a trail. Why ever do you say such a silly thing. I have every right to ride the trails. BS. There is no "right" to mountain bike. That was settled by a federal court in 1994: http://mjvande.nfshost.com/mtb10.htm. |

Quite how gruesomely entertaining, you can read in my short story "The Survivor". Don't get it from Amazon; you have to pay on Amazon. Get it from Smashwords free of charge http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/72627 Come to think of it, another free short, in "Two Shorts" http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/73667 has a hi-fi connection...

Get it from Smashwords free of charge http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/72627 Now that is just wonderful, Andre. I have seldom been more entertained or bemused than I was while perusing the first page of your 'outwrite'. In my experience, prose of similar quality to yours is seldom found in the public domain. I'm glad you enjoyed the story Mike. I give away free books and short pieces all the time as promotion; it generates word of mouth. If you, or any other RBTer, want to read the novel, IDITAROD, from which The Survivor is an outwrite, write to info at coolmainpress with the commercial extension with the title of the book in the subject line and Gemma will send you a 100% off coupon to use at Smashwords. It raises intriguing questions, such as: precisely how many limbs do awkward teenagers usually have?, and; does a plane impacting on frozen soil really make that noise - or are your teeth special? Ha! Another writer was also stopped by teenagers with too many limbs. See, an outwrite is in a much rawer state than the text in a novel, which is obsessively rewritten and polished. In a sense, the readers of an outwrite are its copy-editors. In a while I'll update the story with solutions to all the valid difficulties reported to me, including images that stop readers when that isn't my intention, and eventually it will be as polished, and flow as smoothly, as the novel itself. Try dragging your finger across your hair when you've just washed it, or against your teeth when you've just brushed them. You'll hear the squeak of cleanliness.
