If that is the original pic then that makes me very sad because that would indicate she is not working out as much and getting smaller.  🙁

Yes, suddenly a whole new complexion is placed on things. ::)

An impromptu outtake shot of Nikki that I came across posted on Unrealmuscle by "nycrollas" taken by him of her @ the '07 Olympia.

Just stunning.  I say it a lot but I simply cannot find any other way to express myself.  She is indeed very photogenic.  The combination of huge muscles and beauty with a sweet, cute voice is just wonderful. 😉

Good idea making this thread a sticky. 8)

Now I can't reply in the Interstate Rail thread. ???

One thing is getting overlooked here.  Although there was a discussion of the size of the US, there hasn't been a discussion of where people travel to.  Look at this survey of long distance travel in the US.  You'll notice that most travel is for pleasure, and almost all of that is by car.  Why?  Well the size of the US greatly amplifies the number of travel destinations.  Travel in the US is not simply major city to major city.  US population in non-urban areas can be very sparse.  It is not adaptable to rigid lines of travel.  I live in the Northeast US, which by US standards is well covered with public transit options…which I hardly ever use.  I travel to different locations all the time, but rarely are they major population centers.  And when I wish to travel to a major population center, rarely is public transit setup to make it convenient.  There's a train not 10 minutes from my house that runs to Boston…only twice a day.  Not particularly useful.  And it costs at least 4x the equivalent expense in gas (assuming $4/gallon) for my family of three.  So it's inconvenient and four times the price (of course, that doesn't include overhead costs for my vehicle, but still…).  And it's only useful if I'm going somewhere in Boston.  What if I was going to Worcester?  Or Manchester?  Or Dover?  (All smaller cities within 45 minutes of my house.)  Or a relative's house?

We are a long long way from car travel in the US being more expensive and more inconvenient than any form of public transit.

With respect, on reading your post, I would argue with your final sentence. I would suggest that the truth is

We are a long long way from car travel in the US being expensive enough to dissuade us from using current forms of public transit.

Just because train services in your area are sparse does not mean that it cannot be improved.  You cannot say that rail travel in the US is unimportant just because it is not being used to the optimum.  For example, I have seen many YouTube videos that show glitzy Amtrack services meandering along single-track branch lines at 30 mph, when the should be using multi-track routes that would allow for tighter scheduling and therefore many more trains per day.  It seems to me that the problem is that Amtrack is beholden to the freight companies.

Just discovered another picture (I think) of this beautiful muscular young lady.

I think she is getting bigger if it is infact her.

With a physique that good she must compete!  Wow! 😮 8)
