Ski Helmet Use Isn’t Reducing Brain Injuries

wrote this crap: Screw the spotted owl, it's just EVIL to cut down something that old. Looking at the pictures of lumberjacks standing in front of huge trees is really sad. I read something about one such tree being cut just to see how old it was. We have plastic now. Leave the goddam trees alone. Some things just HAVE to be made out of wood. Where would we be if the teak on yachts were replaced with plastic? There's no need to fear if Trunky is near. |

Somewhere near that Oregon Blue Ox statue I do think. Apparently there is a lot of clear-cutting, but a belt of trees within some distance of the road is left alone. Out of sight, out of mind.

I'm not really a tree-hugger, but Currey and whoever permitted/encouraged him really deserve to be whipped at the very least. Publicly. Even if they're dead. -- Cheers, Bev oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Will give investment advice for food. |

You should watch the movie, "The Big Trees," starring Kirk Douglas. Kirk Douglas stars in this rousing adventure saga that takes place in a rough lumberjack community. The Big Trees is a classic western filled with action, romance and excitement. Co-starring Eve Miller and Edgar Buchanan. (Runtime: 89 min.) There's no need to fear if Trunky is near. |

When I ride my Harley, I wear a top-of-the-line full-face Bell helmet. Just like the kind NASCAR drivers use. It doesn't cost half of that. Based on what you post here you do not need to protect much. This is often what the are using http://www.therage=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=117 The one I have is more like this. http://www.s.html?gclid=CMfGv4244LsCFYtQOgodvy0AFQ I was picturing you in something more like this: http://blogs1/05/tin-foil-hat.jpg What about you? Do you sack up and leave your helmet behind with your purse? There's no need to fear if Trunky is near. |
