“Your legs feel like fried bacon after a day of climbing and descending. It's a roller coaster ride, but no one is pulling you up the mountain. You're headed toward Yosemite more than 4,000 feet of pounding the pedals. You are aware of every movement because your thighs feel tender with a sensation of pain. You push on, toward the final ascent into the valley. In front of you is a monster mountain-El Capitan. Your eyes grow wide. You take a deep breath. Suddenly, you feel only wonder.” FeelsEyePainGrowsWonderFeetFrontsMovementMountainTravelBreathsFinalsLegsWideMonstersSensationsClimbingValleysPullingThighsDeep BreathRoller CoasterCoastersAscentDescendingPedalsTake A Deep BreathYosemiteRoller Coaster Rides Author:Frosty Wooldridge
“Stretch of I-95 has already had one brush with disaster. In 2008 two contractors from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation stopped to get a sausage sandwich, and parked their cars under this bridge. And fortunately they wanted that sausage sandwich because they saw one of these piers with an eight foot gash in it about five inches wide. And oh, they knew automatically that this bridge was in deep trouble.” TwoWantedFiveSawsTroubleFeetCarEightWideDisasterBridgesDepartmentInchesBrushesSandwichesTransportationPennsylvaniaSausageContractorPiers Author:Steve Kroft

“No formula in finance tells you that the moat is 28 feet wide and 16 feet deep. That's what drives the academics crazy. They can compute standard deviations and betas, but they can't understand moats.” FeetCrazyStandardsWideFinanceFormulasDeviationBetaMoats Author:Warren Buffett

“With flowing tail and flying mane, Wide nostrils never stretched by pain, Mouth bloodless to bit or rein, And feet that iron never shod, And flanks unscar'd by spur or rod, A thousand horses - the wild - the free - Like waves that follow o'er the sea, Came thickly thundering on.” PainBitsSeaFeetThousandMouthsHorseWaveWideFlyingIronTailsSpursReinsWild HorsesInspirational Horse Author:Lord Byron
“Let firm, well hammer'd soles protect thy feet Through freezing snows, and rains, and soaking sleet; Should the big last extend the shoe too wide, Each stone will wrench the unwary step aside; The sudden turn may stretch the swelling vein, The cracking joint unhinge, or ankle sprain; And when too short the modish shoes are worn, You'll judge the seasons by your shooting corn.” ShouldWellsMayBigsLastsTurnsStepsFeetJudgingProtectRainStonesSeasonsShoesWideSnowShootingFirmWornVeinsToo ShortHammersJointsCornAnklesFreezingSwellingSoakingWrenchesSleet Book:Poetry and prose of John Gay Source: Poetry and prose of John Gay
“I've usually never felt comfortable shooting until things were kind of claustrophobic, but ballet dancers need a lot of space, so the sets that I designed had to be big. Normally, I'd design a kitchen that was half the size of a normal kitchen, just to make everything feel kind of womb-like, but the kitchen in a ballet would have to be like 100 feet wide and just as long.” NeedsFeelsKindLongBigsFeltSpaceHalfFeetDesignNormalComfortableSizeWideShootingKitchenDancerBalletWombBallet Dancer Author:Guy Maddin
