These treacherous mountain hikes really out us flat-landers. I once got to a point where I was on a trail about two feet wide, where one side was a cliff straight up and the other side was a cliff straight down. I'm taking baby steps, contemplating whether or not I should get down on all fours for this part. Then all of a sudden an 8 year old girl rounds the bend and is barreling down on me. I'm thinking "crap, how in the Hell am I going to pass someone on this..." then she just blows by me like I'm not even there, and continues on down the trail at a brisk pace. Stunned, I thought "well, I guess I just need to man up and do this." 

In hindsight I believe that she may have been the ghost of some poor young girl that had already fallen. :017:

A few years ago, I was at a cabin with a friend outside of Santa Fe.  We go for a hike, nothing crazy, relatively flat compared to the steep mountainsides, but it was at 8000'.

I was huffing and puffing something fierce.  I'm totally out of shape, I get it, but my heart wasn't beating fast or anything.  It was purely a breathing thing, which was weird to me.  I don't think I'd ever been that out of breath without my heart pumping fast from running or whatever.

I just had to go slow, and I was fine.  Elevation is a sonofabitch.

Ranking The Best (And Worst) Hot Sauces To Spice Up Your Plate - Explored Sports

They have Frank's as one of the worst, I like Frank's, this should be a personal decision.  Goofy rankings.

I'm rolling with Melinda for the hot sauce.

I haven't seen that around here.  I'd bet a lot of more local hot sauces are solid.  I used Frank's on Cincinnati Chili all the time, usually a lot of it.

I like Tabasco Green on egg dishes (which for some reason, we eat often, for dinner and breakfast, I don't know why).

We keep Cholula and Srirachi around at all times. Also several local ones.

I don't like Tapatio - has a pronounced dirt flavor. We have a ton of Cholula and Frank's because it is sold at Costco. I like Tabasco and usually keep the red and green around. Also always have Texas Pete's - think it is great on fried seafood, and it was pretty close to a hot sauce I had on street meat in Oxford when I studied abroad one summer, so I always put it on gyros too. I usually keep green El Yucateco on hand too.

Sriracha is good b/c it's not necessarily a "hot sauce"; it's a particularly Asian flavor of hot sauce. 

I don't like Tabasco. It's SO insanely dominated by vinegar that I can't really enjoy it. We have a bottle in case a recipe calls for it, but I wouldn't use it on anything else voluntarily. 

Cholula and Tapatio are both decent hot sauces. Nothing special, but decent. We have a bottle of Tapatio in the house that rarely gets looked at. 

I tend towards the local, we have this one: https://www.chonehotsauce.com/ -- some really good stuff.

I do not like Hoy Fung sriracha, but I did try another brand that I liked a lot. But now I can't find that anymore, nor even remember what it was.

This is another example of some "expert" (and maybe he is that) telling us what we should think about a thing.

Opinion: Biden and Trump’s presidential debate performance rated by champion debate coach | CNN

In my view, how Trump did is irrelevant.  To me, he looked like Trump has always looked on TV.  And it didn't change anything.

On the other hand, Joe obviously had a chance to build confidence that he is up to the job.  It takes a lot of spin to claim he did that (and this "expert" gave him an F).  That was the pivotal thing, not whether Trump was Trump.

Debates are often about imagery, not substance.  Someone might read a transcript and think "X" did pretty well, and then see the imagery and delivery and think ""X" bombed totally.

Anyway, we beat Medicare.

What % bump does Trump get from the orange makeup?  How much of his perceived vigor is from it?  A pale-faced 78 year old throwing those zingers just seems like a grumpy old man, no?

We'll have some polls out pretty soon, probably today.  He didn't look very orange, to me, in the debate, but he has at times.  I think it's the artificial tanning stuff that does that.  His perceived vigor is that he's bombastic and loud and pretty clearly not what I'd call frail in appearance.
