How is your reaction time?

0.252 seconds. Not bad for a 46 year old I guess.

.29xx

slower than I thought it would be for all the games that I play. After this season of hockey, it will probably decrease a little bit.

really wasn't fair for us old sheep herders, we are not accustomed to chasing sheep, we put the dogs on them, so our reactions were not attuned to escaping sheep.
