[DVBC] Adventures in Painting

[Dave Hartrum]

Nancy, actually I have now switched from Tums to Rolaids. Turns out  
Rolaids has both Calcium and Magnesium both important in keeping  
those cramps away.
Tums has only the Calcium. I usually pop one before starting a ride,  
pop one after the ride and carry some for during the ride if I feel  
the need for one.
