Life is very hectic right now. I see you sent samples, and I will listen to them tonight. Buster: Wait a minute... You described yourself recently as a "lapsed Unitarian". So, this isn't a conversion so much as an un-lapsing, right? Or maybe a Reactivation? Impressive title though, I must say. After reading the article, and going through The Process, I was annointed: "Brother Howitzer of Desirable Mindfulness". With words like "jihad" and "Neutron Bomb" showing up here, I'm sure we have made it to the FBI or NSA's watch list. Hope they enjoy reading RHR. If I don't write for awhile, then that means the black helicopters are real... Ride well, =gc= Khris: Patience please. Life is very hectic right now.

I haven't, but everyone I talk to tells me that it's the Best Pizza Ever. Now that they have the concrete barrier in place, cars have stopped crashing through the wall... MattL: You seem to have it all covered. I have nothing to add... Cheers! Bill: Getting old really sucks. Terry: It's very interesting to read your perspective, from the saddle of a T-dub. That is one unique ride, and something I think every rider should experience at least once in their riding career. Khris: I'm honored. Watch your email... Sidewalk Dan: We need to get together. I've just been so busy/exhausted by work this month that I haven't been able to get out much. Let's meet at Nye's sometime this week, OK? Steve: Your post was awesome... seriously. The time and effort you put into your photography puts my humble efforts to shame. I never seem to have the patience to stop and walk around, stalking the image as you do. That needs to change.

I kept thinking about what you have to manage and endure during your commute versus what I was doing. Even with the relative simplicity of my commute in rain, fog, or snow I get the same sort of looks and comments. Those kind of thoughts in the general consciousness is what keeps people snug and safe behind the wheels of their cars. In regard to changes in work life and what it can do I hear you on that.

And I got the look of looks (everyone knows that look...) from my wife when I was gearing up yesterday in the driveway. You think I'd come home to changed locks on my house... But Gary knows how I roll - so I hope more than a few cagers could see me. Ahh state fair time. If you see a KLR splitting lanes anywhere around Como/Snelling - well, I guess I can neither confirm or deny those allegations at this time... Sidewalk Dan out. I too rode to work in the soup.

Our new band is looking to use the photo of the lone house on the prairie for our album cover. Although we are not wealthy, we would be more than happy to give you a few copies of the finished product, and I could also e-mail you a few tunes for you to listen to before you decide, so that you know where your photo is going. Would you please contact me at the e-mail address provided to discuss this further? Thank you for your time, I really hope to hear from you. Hello there,

The weather here (up north) was kind of crappy, so I did the 32,000 mile check up on my silverwing scoot, new belt, spark plugs, check valves, etc., then went for a ride on the T dub. I went through the tunnel of fun on the T dub, forest roads and trails, they should make I 94 and I 35W like our logging roads, dirt trails, ruts logs through swamppy areas, then the tunnel of hate would turn into the tunnel of fun. cagers would be almost non existant.

My posts have the same spread lately too. Work is all on foot, and the old spring in my step has lost its temper. At least I'm in good company with you in the same boat.
