That seems to be exactly what we did today, too. After mowing the yard and a few other chores we pulled out on the bike around 2PM and trotted down to the local custom shop to checkout helmets and leather. Of course we’d not eaten lunch yet so when we left there we headed […]

So the racist remarks George Allen was suppose to have made probably didn’t happen. How very interesting. I think they know they must discredit George Allen in not only the eyes of Americans but also in the eyes of Republicans. Allen is the only conservative in the running for the Republican party presidential candidate […]

It looks like I was not alone in my view of Greg Garrison’s pay website for it is now a free site. So trot over and check out GregGarrison.com…

“He who would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.”
–Thomas Paine

I left the Shadow in the barn this morning as we’re supposed to have thrunder storms starting between 3PM and 6PM. I seldom get out of the office by 6PM and today may go longer as I’m conducting interviews all afternoon. Plus, even if I leave at 6PM I’ll not get home until around 7:15PM. […]

1986 Honda Shadow VT1100
I really didn’t expect the dealer would have this ready today. It was an interesting day then, when they called at 2:30PM and said it’s ready. That meant driving home to get the wife, going to the insurance company, then to the dealer. Two hours and 45 minutes and 125 miles later […]

Looks like at least some New Yorkers have had enough of Bloomberg’s and New York’s antics where private ownership of guns is concerned. Bloomberg, proving once again the Republicans will let anyone in the party (like John McCain wasn’t evident enough).

I have mixed feelings about the so-called pirate radio stations, low power stations people broadcast from their homes for hobby entertainment or outreach. First, I understand the “we’re not stealing anything” attitude and sticking-it-to-the-man is simply part of human nature, at least until you grow up and become “the man”. Conversely, there is a […]

Good old propaganda TV…
“the only reason to design a new guns is a better way to kill people”
There were so many factual “inaccuracies” in tonights episode I won’t even try to list them. But to scratch the surfice anything that shoots a 9mm is not terror weapon of war. And a device that holds a […]

Looks like there is also a Jihad againt parody and a fatawa against humor. Of course if they could laugh at themselves even one little bit they’d not be so uptight and blowing people up, either.

Just a reminder as much for myself as anyone, the 2006 Covered Bridge Festival is from Friday, October 13 to Sunday, October 22. It is my hope that this year we’ll spend more time going from bridge to bridge taking pictures than looking at imported junk.
My intent is to get some good […]

Someone in the media has realized that biofuels may cause more problems than they solve. First and foremost I have a problem using food to fuel vehicles. Yes, it’s a renewable resource and those who are starving can’t buy it anyway. But what about base market pricing? As even this BBC article notes food […]

It seems Americans aren’t buying as much Citgo gas now that they know who owns it.

Fix Indy Now points out a great ad taking Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson to task. There’s even a link to the FBI stats showing the ad is right. Refute that.

Yup, the Indy Star is again showing it’s ignorance. Their staff Op-Ed today looks like it was written by the Brady Campaign: Disturbing the peace of gun-free parks .
So far, Indiana’s application of the Second Amendment has pleased the NRA and kept the state above the national average in gun-related deaths. Opening the public’s […]

As much as I hate to not only link to, but agree with, an article on Slate I think Gregg Easterbrook has valid points on why hurricanes in recent years have a bigger smash than previously. Not necessarily because they’re a more destructive force but rather because there is more there to actually damage.
But […]

It kind of puts the whole “domestic violence” agenda in a new light when you read that studies show young women are becoming more violent with partners.

Yes, it’s over and done with but I have to do something with all the links I’ve collected while watching the events unfold - so here they are.

Frank Gaffney is one of my top 10 favorite political insiders… Reagan Defense Official Testifies on ‘Islamofascism’

Often the threat of “the law” is far to distant to be of much effect especially to those who have never crossed paths with it in any way beyond speeding. This makes them bold and perverts seem to be coming out of the closet as well. So what should residents do when their […]

No, not a conspiracy post but a bike post. On Tuesday I made an appropriate deposit on the ‘86 Shadow VT1100. Checking in with the dealer today and the bike is still inline to be serviced and I will get a call from the sales guy tomorrow with a status update from the service manager. […]

The Indiana Department of Naturual Resources director Kyle Hupfer has announce a 1 year reprieve on the policy which bans Hoosiers from carrying their concealed handguns in state parks.
“We’re a society of rights,” he said, “and it’s a basic constitutional right of citizens to bear arms, and any restrictions on that need to […]

…. for Islamic tollerance. It’s a preview of things to come.

If we had more mayors like Frank Melton in US cities crime would be much less an issue as would a lot of other societal problems. But no, seems he’s made someone mad so they’re prosecuting him.
