A modest proposal to slightly decrease rescues on Skyline ..

General Palm Springs area.

Hey, Materno-Ma-Ma (Cynthia)! That's an idea I had a few seasons ago. Let's say I want to lose 10 lbs...what if I simply set a goal of 10 Skylines in 10 days...one Skyline burns about 3500 calories, so in 10 days it should actually work. Instead of taking weeks to hopefully burn 35000 calories, I simply take the matter as simple physics and make it happen.

I think we all do this in a lesser sense, but it's a possible alternative in the fall. What if some nut wanted to lose 20 lbs. and did Skyline 20 times while eating only to maintain weight without exercise - could lose 20 with no appreciable dieting!!!!!!!!!! In fact, I'm tryin' this out come fall, so I'll letrcha know.

You don't really have anything to burn off C23, but the idea is sound. I'll let you know if it works.
