You may have to dust off your skills and try to bring the World Championship back to New England.

I hope there is a future for this sport. A local lane was complaining that it's getting hard to find new equipment and one bowling alley in the Halifax Shopping Center didn't have it's lease renewed last year.
Seems they want to go upscale with their clientel.. such as Victoria Secrets, a new Apple Store etc.

After reading your advice, I reviewed candlepin bowling. I'm wondering about the exercise value of
this 'sport'. It seems as though one picks up a ball, takes three steps, hurls the ball down the
lane, takes five or six steps back, sits down, and drinks a few beers waiting for the next turn.

I'm thinking walking after a golf ball for five or six miles provides a little more exercise. I
could be wrong however.

If you like baseball, you're sure to like bowling. Both are slow as
molasses and neither is a contact sport, usually.

That is why I have had little interest in this sport so far, although someday when I get way up into my 70's, that bit of exercise might seem beneficial.

I'm within eight months of my 70's, and chasing the little white ball for five or six miles is still
very doable. Get yourself out to the Harbor Ridge Golf Club where you can play a round for about $20
or so, if you buy ten rounds up front. Cheap exercise. Much better than watching a trim gauge.

My grandfather (came over on the boat from Sweden) was on a senior's
candlepin bowling league team and bowled regularly well into his 90's.

Shot an 84 day before yesterday at Greendale. That gave me a nice big head as it's the best I've
ever shot there. It didn't hurt that it was with the Seniors group, so I may have won $10. Yippee.

But, golf being the way it is, I went to Forest Greens yesterday and shot a 101. Now my hats fit
again.

Bowling....that's what I need to be doing!

John (Gun Nut) H.

Back in 1984 I had a chielectomy, operation on right big toe. After that I couldn't bowl.
Then about 1 years ago the wife and kids wanted to go bowling. I hyper-extended my right
middle finger and it still hurts and my toe hurt after bowling too.

Stick to duckpins if you can find them.

Are the balls the same size as 10 pin balls? I've never seen a candlepin
alley.

Did you ever think that maybe it's not played for the exercise value?
Hell, if that's all you're worried about, a treadmill would be cheaper
than golf and provide a lot more "exercise value".

Using YOUR take on videos, it had to have disappeared!

You still do not know the difference between a magic trick involving

watching the crash.

Like I say, I bet you think the final world trade tower videos are
fake too

Again, I watched Penn shoot at Teller live, with my own eyes, not video.
In your mind, it must have happened, right? You watched a video and came
to a conclusion that the ONLY possible thing that could be is that the
pilot was being a hotdog. That is narrow minded and being narrow minded,
it's hard to reason with you.

It is certainly more likely than your mythical stuck throttle that
miraculously fixed itself 10 seconds later.
Why would a responsible captain apply that much throttle in that close
an operating area in the first place (around canoes, kayaks and other
boaters) .

This whole stretch of river is NO WAKE and has been for decades.

You sound like an FOP union rep.

That's just stupid.
