My calves don't get me, its my thighs.

I remember when I burnt a loader down, trying to get up the MTN to my truck and another fire extinguisher, I was using my arms to push my knees down.


But I suffer from noassatalll.

Best of luck with your condition. Hope the docs can sort it out for you

Perhaps, the Internet Media is ahead of Nike's own Public Relations and Internal Communications Department Curve? Nike Internal Continuity Communication Disconnect?
... or is it "Smoke & Mirrors"?
