Must be why Down Under Dave is one year ahead of you.

Soo, figured that the 18-11 will keep the 3K away from me. Godzilla and Bacon rules!

Tsetse fly belt?

How does that compare to the black belt?

Higher or lower?

All the karate and judo I did, never heard of it.

Ummmmmm...no....work is something I need to to do to pay the bills and get my pension....soon, life will be far more meaningful when I am retired and I can wake up to hiking, and photography, and touring across the countryside

Work is what I do to get the money it takes to do the things I really want to do.

Racing.

Travel.

Racing.

Camping.

Playing with cars (real ones, not toys).

Hiking.

Racing.

Skiing.

Shooting (target).

Photography.

Flying.

Did I mention racing?

Work is what I do to get out of the house and pay for the premium lenses I want, like the DA*11-18. Finished my first full 40 hour work week in several years today and I don't feel too awful.

It's actually part of some research as to why zebras have stripes. It seems flies have trouble with landing properly on animals wearing stripes. So the stripes are a good strategy in the tsetse fly belt. Not that it's a new theory, but this research seems to confirm it.

I'm not so sure about that. When I was a Corporal, flies landed on me just fine.

Are those stripes black and white, or white and black?

Your choice, mix or match.

I read somewhere that scientists figured out that zebras are black with white stripes. Don't know if they waxed a zebra to figure that out.
