Odyssey Movie On My Mind Over The Weekend

First, some folks suggest a Odyssey II movie might be made.

I thought about it...maybe you could bring King Kong in....perhaps have the sister of the snake-hair-lady get introduced as a nice person.

Second, some lightly educated folks are asking questions over this 10-year war....how was this possible?

Third, it is obvious.....the book/story by Homer....is a guy-thing....not designed to  be liked by women.

Fourth, if you interest folks in the story....to read the book....it might dismay them. Movie is a bit different.

Quad Bike 'Adventure'?

 My German wife gave me last year.....a intro-to-quad-bike-riding...which I used this  weekend while up in Koln (Germany).

So I drove 'out'....this is 50 miles east of Koln...to what I call....the 'boney' of the bonies, of  the extreme bonies.  Yeah....middle of nowhere.

I got there (thanks to GPS).

So the 'guide' ('Frank') gave me  and four other guys (all in their 40s)...a 20 minute lecture....all in German.  I got about four points....out of forty.  

Brakes, turbo, 'hot', and something-something about making turns. 

I had thought this  would all be woods/dirt-roads. Wrong....paved roads.

'Frank' led us way out in the middle of nowhere.  There are farms out there....where four cars a day might pass through a point.

Roughly 2.5 hours.....getting  up around 40 mph at times. 

Dangerous?  Yeah....kinda what you should do before age 40.

I asked 'Frank' at the end....did he ever  have ladies attend? 'NO'....was response...awful rare.
