On the subject of glory holes: I knew yellow would have a better explanation. I just thought piscatorial pursuits would be involved. And, I was born in New Mexico, so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

And I would have thought it should have been "pescatorial", but it turns out I'm totally wrong. Originally Posted by bikerz

We'll have to turn to our Latin expert, Veronica, for the explanation but my assumption is that "piscator" is the Latin and "pescator" is the Spanish.
Piscator is the main character in Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler. Now you know the source of the Wonder Poodle's name.

Without looking it up, I'm assuming it has something to do with fish, given that my extensive knowledge of Italian tells me that "pesca" is the word for fish.

I'm seriously considering skipping out on my graduation and coming to this instead. I just don't see the value in hanging out for several hours on a Saturday with 1000's of engineering students whom I don't know so somone can briefly call my name and give me a blank piece of paper.
I'm completely stressed and just dont give a hoot anymore..........

Winddance and I are going to ride Old Tunnel Rd and some of Skyline Sunday morning! (nice and slow - BikerZ-style!) She's got herself some new hill-climbing gears! Woo Hoo!
