whatup snoggwerds

whatup snoggfaces, nate here. the other two fools are undermobbing and ive got time in colorado springs. we just got back from breckinridge, colorado, where there was a beer and bluegrass festival. it was pretty sik. we stayed at the groundwaters' kabin with an ot tub and stars. pete'll fill you in on that, i imagine. n.e. weyz, this trip for me has been a trip so far. har har. i mean, it's been hecka fun. for me, the most beautiful rides that stick out right now were going from saratoga wyo to laramie whyo. over the snowy range pass was absolutely ridiculous, views from 10Gs up of the more or less end of the rocky mountains. we passed by this fat rock pile called medicine bow range, or peak, or something like that, and it was hewn by the mammoth strength and power of frozen water. it was so cool, epic, and inspiring. then at the end of the ride is when we got caught by lightning, which was real terrifying, so pete and i mobbed harder than ever for the last flattish, raining 20 miles. in all my years of competitive cycling, i don't think i've ever ridden harder. adrenaline can do wonders for the muscles. the lightning was crazy though. the next day at the university of wyoming's very own library i looked up lightning on the internetz, and it said that thunder is created by the shock wayve caused by the 16K degree fahrenheit lightning heating up the air that surrounds it. dang. shocking. also, when lightning hits a tree, it causes an epic sundering of a section of the tree, but it's not from the lightning itself, it's from the bolt heating up the sap inside so intensely that the pressure from the steam blows of the section of tree instantly. holy smokes. imagine that bolt hitting us! sorry parents, but whoa! now imagine us resonsibly racing through the storm as fast as possible to laramie then eating cheeseburgers in the safety of lovejoyz. dang.

in other gnus, you can hear it firsthand from me, n. andre roter that the giardia is gone, and has been for a week or so (since laramie). thanks lander clinic for the exam and the antibiotic capsules! being sick was bad, but the best feeling was being hungry again. to celebrate my newfound hunger, when we got into Rawlins, hwyoming, we stopped at an ice cream parlor and i ordered a two-scoop sundae with cookie dough, chocolate chip, and cookies and cream ice cream and hot fudge sauce. But wait! you scream in confusion. you may be asking yourself how can a two scoop sundae have three scoops? well, ill tell you what happened. i was looking at the flavors, ordered the cookies and cream then the chocolate chip. but something was missing. duh, the cookie dough! so i saw that and ordered it too, and a brownie on the bottom. topped off with hot, hot, hot fudge, but no cherry, because that's whack. sike! there was just no cherry. i ate it, then we had cappucinos, because as they say, when in wyoming, do as the wyomingeanites do. then we had thai food, because, as they say, when in wyoming, eat thai food. so eyah, giardia, seeya later you weak weak creature, stay outta my bloodstream, and stick to the rivers that you're used to. well, now im undermobbing, and i gotta go, but until next time, stay big.
