In a previous article, "Jay Honeck" said:
So, what is this phenomenon? Karma? The stars? Blood pressure? Phase of
the moon? It's frustrating to not be able to break down cause and effect
here -- does anyone else notice this?


I think every activity requiring dexterity (or strength or endurance, but
that's not relevant here) goes that way.

When I was a cross country ski racer, I remember every now and then I'd
have a day where I was *way* above my game. Unfortunately, some times
that happened on a training day - like the time we were training on some
hills and I found myself passing a guy on my ski team who was one of our
best climbers (and who later won a silver medal in the Olympics as a bike
racer and wore the yellow jersey in the Tour de France). But once in a
while it happened on a race day, and I found myself beating guys who
normally finished way in front of me. I think it happened on a race day
twice in my 6 year racing career.

So logically, if she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood, and
therefore a witch.
