Traffic Jam at the Top of the World......

What my first wife just shook her head at, nomero dos, called a "death wish", and the angel now charged with keeping me in check, just chuckles at the stories...... For all of my ER visits and near misses, I fall far short of the group of annual Darwin Award candidates you'll find here http://news.yahoo.com/days-deaths-another-crowd-attempts-everest-040343707.html
Call it natural selection, or what you will, but this just proves that "strength in numbers" isn't always the case.

Made it to The Beaver,,,,,,,,,

......which to some might signify "third base". Actually, in the middle of a cranky evening, I threw in the towel and decided to head for Seadrift....on my antique BMW notorcycle......The old thing ran like a dream, holding it's own in the "fatal funnel" that is Hwy 59.
I made it to the Colorado River, before I realized that I wanted to be back to hang with the love of my life, and hot wake up with a 159 nile ride back home......
All in all, it was a good night's ride, A few families here legally, were coming and going. A few more entrepneurail sorts, were pullinga car or two south to turn a profit, and likely, bring back a shitload of drug profits......business is booming, eh?
Bottom line- I could ride to Denver tomorrow. My old Beemer, while a classic, is a hoss.....Nothing like a 150 mile ride on a 30 year old classic machine, on the Fatal Funnel Fleeway, passing minivan human sardine cans, to shake down an old bike that'll be on the road when 5 year old Harleys are in the shop.......
The Nazis got at least two things right....(don't forget the VWs)........

Got a Call From an Angel......

.....well, okay from my sister. She does this on occasion. Somewhere along the way she picked up on the fact that I love music.....real music, and poets......real poets.....and real storytellers.

I hope you liked this.....they are on YouTubee.....explore - if you find tickets for aale, let me know....first drink's on me.

Breaking New Ground......

.......welll, a bit of old dude overview here. Okay, just maybe a reminder of where the really good and relevant rock music that inspires the youth of today.......got its start. Try to connect the dots if you must, or shake your head kids, but this is the beginnings of Foo Fighters, Breaking Benjamin, and The Beatles came from......
