[at-l] been wondering...

My boss lady carries around tons of over-the-counter drugs.  It's handy.
It's easy.  And she is not walking miles and miles and...

I think we get use to it because we have no handy-dandy 7-11 or Wally-World
or Walgreens nearby.  We're like my grandmother who never had
air-conditioning since ordinary people never had it 'til post-WW2, and she
was born in the 1880s.  So she just got use to the heat.

Hmmm...  I wonder if we're masochists?

Considering what we all do for "fun" <g>, I'm wondering if hikers, and
especially long-distance hikers, have a higher tolerance for pain (or at
least discomfort) than the general population?
Maybe there should be a study? Should we volunteer Felix? The results will
be warped, but at least we'll know why <g>
