I wonder if it's snowing in Mexico...

At some point it did...

DP was only 63 degrees...that's why it felt so good!

87% humidity in SLC this morning - we finally beat you!

Hurt my hip flexor while white water rafting a couple weeks ago. So I hear ya on the "cheeky" comment.

From SlowJoe on Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 13:10:28 from 107.77.64.108

Bob, white water rafting is a lot more athletic/manly than bowling, but thanks for the sympathy!

From Tracy on Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 13:17:35 from 50.103.252.209

Um, bowling? I'm trying to figure out how you managed that.

From Matt Schreiber on Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 14:39:59 from 66.17.102.175

I'm with Tracy on this one. You must really get into your bowling down there in TX.

My downfall was the "MPH" metric they put on the screen. Rolling it accurately became a secondary goal to rolling it fast. I guess I have bad bowling form and was planting my leg funny as I hurled the ball.

From flatlander on Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 10:49:34 from 198.207.244.102

Bowling balls should be rolled in a smooth underhand motion rather than hurled.

I knew I was doing something wrong!
