发帖数: 3433 | 1 我是确实有特殊情况。
不过这两年人都还蛮多的。去年我们组织了20来个人，今年在一起的也有十几个，另外
我还知道几个单骑的。
基本都是第一次骑的新手，说明参加的人越来越多了。明年应该大部分都能回来。
西雅图的几个可以考虑一下明年参加RAMROD的voluteer，后年咱们一起骑骑RAMROD。 |

中文也许夸张，但是General Petraeus的体能这个版上没几个人比得上，
而且他的所有高级军官都必须跟得上他，对士兵没有这个要求。人家也是在
普林斯顿拿的Ph.D。
下面是一篇2007年的采访：
========
Gen. David Petraeus has just challenged me to a push-up contest.
A moment later he's prone--ramrod straight, back and arms rigid.
Then in a 90-second blur, he hammers out 81 push-ups while
deconstructing David Ignatius's latest novel. How can anyone keep
up with that?
Maj. Everett Spain, relates ...... "I got the call to meet the
general at the gym at 0600 in my PT [physical training] |

Armistice Day
By Paul Harris
Last updated at 10:07 AM on 12th November 2010
He was 3ft tall in his shiny black shoes and he wore his great-uncle’s
medals with pride as he stood to attention in the rain.
Jonny Osborne, seven, symbolised the face of a new generation yesterday as
he marched shoulder to shoulder with servicemen and women to honour those
killed by war.
But three miles across London from the Armistice Day cere... 阅读全帖 |

by Media
June 22, 2012 | by Warner Todd Huston
What would you say if a Koch Brothers, right-wing effort was pushed on
Americans with the knowing assistance of National Public Radio — and big
money was paid to NPR for the effort? Would you say that this is an outrage,
that NPR’s use of public airwaves to push a right-wing policy idea is a
misuse of the journalist’s charge as well as our national airwaves? Well,
that is exac... 阅读全帖 |

Recall Effort
April 11, 2013
Posted by Warner Todd Huston
Only three weeks after re-election in 2012, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was hit with
a recall effort. Now, with anti-Arpaio petitions in circulation in Maricopa
County, Arizona, “America’s Sheriff” is organizing his forces to oppose a
recall backed by the deep pockets of the unions, millions in outside money,
and a flood of non-Arizonans arriving to act as the left-winger... 阅读全帖 |

今天去上gym的circuit class（就是很多运动组合的那种，说是为滑雪准备的），看见
教练穿了件RAMROD（Ride Around Mt Rainer in One Day)的T-shirt，凑上去聊了两句。
她说其实这里gym的indoor cyling课是她最先开的，后来生小孩了就让给别人了。她现
在只带早上的cycling课，可惜我去不了，要上班。我觉得她带的课会比我现在去的这
个有意思。跟我说看你基础不错，去找个club练练race吧，我只好在那里打哈哈。呵呵。
回来看了一下她的介绍，好像还得过一个全国性的Time Trail冠军，不知道是多正式的
比赛。

嗯嗯，我在这里感动了两遍。
以前看的时候感动过一遍，现在自己翻译到这里的时候又感动了一遍。
至于翻出来后能不能感动大家，那就没把握了...
And with that, the robot turned, his heavy First Minister's robe
rustling as he walked away, head up, back ramrod straight, along
the Palace hallway.
言毕，机器人转过身，昂首挺胸，沿着皇宫走廊飘然离去，身上那袭沉
重的首相长袍随着他远去的步履瑟瑟作响。 |
