Any fellow curlers out there in Beemerville? For those of you in the sunny south, don't worry about figuring out what curling is; it will hurt your head.

I haven't curled since university (came in 2nd in our division; lost the last rock) and that was many, many decades ago. As I remember, our team never took the game too seriously and had a blast together. As much as we enjoyed the game, we couldn't watch it; too boring to watch but fun to play.:ca

Don't spend too much time worrying about it. Hugh, I and the other good folks in the Texas Hill Country will be too busy riding in this outstanding Texas weather.

You TX hillbillys are making the mistake of bragging a bit too often about your weather; just might attract some unsavory sorts from up north to move down there with their curling rocks.

Actually, we have our own versions of curling down here. One happens in the corner of a bar, and involves a little metal hockey puck, some varnished wood, and some talcum. The other involves horseshoes. Hard to make that rock slide on sand.........:whistle

Course, maybe if we put enough sawdust on the dance floor........:scratch

Come on down, we'll try it. :thumb

I hear the best part of curling occurs in the warming room after the match is over. There is a curling club in Schenectady, not too far from here.

Thank God they don't wear the quilt!! The image that has just been tattoed on my brain of a bunch of 50 year old guys bent over on the ice in kilts is going to take some liberal doses of high quality beer to purge!!
