A short ride but worth it
« on: April 26, 2016, 11:53:56 AM »
Somebody has set up a flume down Steep Hill in Lincoln - I've heaved myself up it and can attest to just how steep it is. This looks like fun though: http://goo.gl/APvVU8
Pain, or damage, don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back. - Al Swearengen, Deadwood.

I remember Steep Hill from about 50 years ago.

There was a cafe (called Sid's I think) in which the proprietor used to entertain customers by insulting them and also his long suffering wife.
