> > First, in regards to issue number one--never in my life have a met a woman who not only likes SF, bad movies, James Bond, climbing things that need climbing (such as rock walls, trees, etc.), horses, driving fast down narrow roads with tall plant life on either side, and just generally being cool, but *also* thinks that careening down the side of a mountain on a little narrow sled thing with wheels is "cool fun" because you can go really fast and catch air on the bumps. As I said to Sam later in the trip, they just don't make women like that in the US.

You mean, "borderline psychotic"? Women in the US should probably be grateful for that.
