Yesterday was an absolutely perfect day in my neighborhood and my 12-year-old friend pushed me into walking to the beach. When I got there a little boy named Casey was having a hard time getting his kite in the air. His cousins had gotten their kites entangled with each other. I hadn't flown one in years, but these were nice ones with string winders. Casey and I had his kite in the air in no time, and with a lesson from me he is now convinced he is a pro. His cousin had a bit tougher time, but I fixed the balance and his was soon up in the air. However, he didn't have 1/4 of the patience of Casey who, for all I know, is still flying his. Now I am hooked. I have been reading up on all the new-fangled kites since yesterday.

Please tell me what your favorites are and where I can get the best deals!

Am I weird or should I not worry about what anyone thinks? I like it and it helps me get exercise with my 8 year old son so does it matter?

Last year I undertook this walk in July with a group of people in Corpus Christie, Texas. During the walk on the first day it rained causing our socks to get wet, also resulted in huge blisters underneath my feet. I want to avoid that this year. What kind of foot wear (hiking shoes, inner soles) can I buy to avoid the agony I went through last year. The walk was very enjoyable and very spiritual. I don't want to miss it. Walking terrain - walk along the sides of freeways and inner streets. It is a hoot. Passer bys waving and honking at us. Volunteers provide us drive vehicles with food, water and other refreshments for walkers. We start the walk at 4:30 am the first day and walk for 22 miles. Stop at a church the first night and bunk down in a school classrooms next to the church. The next day resume walk at 5:00am to reach the destination around 3:00pm.

I am seeking steps I can take to reduce the pain I went through last year, eventhough, I had a blast. Thanks.

The question assumes you're not in the middle of the ocean, of course. Assume you're on a lake or within view of a shoreline.

Ok this is just a really whimsical random question. I seen the Streetcarver board, and thought it looked fun.

However, the reality is, at nearly 30, not a small guy and not an athlete--perhaps this is an early version of a midlife crisis style whim :-).

What would you do?
Buy a carver, fall off a few times, give up and Ebay it?

Browse a whole load, get totally discouraged by the fact that there are 12 yr old experts old there who can do anything with anything skateboard-like...and save your money?

Or actually go the whole hog, get one and find that after a few frustrating months you can do a straight line, steer adequately and have lost a belt notch in belly line in the process? Therefore only looking half as stupid on the thing as when you started?

Begs the final part of the question....is there a place in the UK where an "old" beginner would even look remotely not out of place?

Just interested to see what various folks come back with ;).

I am going this weekend to my grandparents cabin in Swains Creek, Utah. According to Utah's gun laws, is it legal to fire my rifle not at a gun range, but at targets in the forest? I know in some states its legal as long as you are a certain distance from people or a road. What are the rules for Utah?

I've been thinking on going camping by myself, is it fun?, never thought of that!!. Has anyone tried that before?, recommendations?. I think if I wait I could go with friends, but in my case I have no idea when that can happen, and if that will happen. Suggestion?, experiences?

Good day. Came across comments from various gun site and magazine describing a pistol as "good out of the box." Generally, does it mean that some pistols are not safe to use or would require modification prior first use?

Thank you.
