If you want to thank me, go do something for somebody else

When temptations march monotonously in regiments, one waits for to pass.

I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour.
