How times have changed
Take Measles
Now days the media makes it out as a terrible epidemic
Old day (when I was a kid and before vaccine) when your friend Johnny got them all of the other parents sent their kids to Johnnies’ to play for the day to get them done with it sooner
All ready looks like I will have to change the dates to leave June 10th and return June 21st so I already lost 3 days. I will probably run the same route out as we did for the SoreButtapalooza 1100 miles the first day. I want to spend about 3 days in the black hills area we missed a lot when we were there and that area is one of my top favorites. Then out to Yellowstone for 2 days and then two 900 mile super slab days home. I’d like to try the 1500 day on the way home but after the 1100 last year I had to look down to make sure my feet were on the ground at the hotel. I talked to all the hotel clerks at the hotels we stayed at they were only a little over half full so I may wing it and not make any reservations this time. The wife and I road this back in June of 77 Yellowstone still had over 6 feet of snow in the mountains but all of the roads were clear and dry.
In the planning stages for a 2 week bike trip out to the Black hills, Yellow Stone Park, and the Grand Tetons with a few other stops along the way shooting for some time in June
Eric Garner had only been arrested 41 different times before this video was taken it’s not like he was a career criminal was it? This or something like it was bound to happen sooner or later.
As far as the 12 year old he was out playing gangster with a modified toy gun what would of any of you concealed carry people have done if he ran up to you and your family and pointed it at you? My guess is most of you would have just thrown your wallet at him. It is not as easy to kill someone as you might think. I have no idea what the protocol is or what they talked about before they drove up on the kid but my first reaction was the driver pulled up to fast and close to give his partner any other choice once the kid reached for the gun.
New federal law to make the police job easier and make everyone happy.
A police officer must ask the criminal for permission to arrest him. If the criminal refuses the police officer must leave the area immediately without any further interaction with the criminal.
Problem solved
The guy in New York was only getting arrested for illegally selling cigarettes. He was a big man and made the decision to resist arrest and escalate the situation nothing good will ever come from that. What were the cops suppose to do just say never mind and walk away. They were only trying to get him under control so they could take him in. In any situation were a cop is dealing with criminals they can never back down or lose it is not an option. If you choose to resist arrest and escalate things it is on you. It is a shame he died over an f-ing cigarette but he made that choice. Cops have the worst job in this country they have to deal with scum everyday even good citizens treat them like shit. Now these asshats in Washington are trying to make it impossible for them to do their jobs and give criminals like Brown the upper hand.
Now that riding season is almost over I will start to work on all of the video I took on the trip with the GoPro. I’m trying to talk the wife into going back for a week or 2 out next summer.
Another great day Wednesday I rode out to Alliance then to Sharron Pa and back thru Warren stopped at Little Wings for lunch then down 422 cut down thru Garrettsville and home to Ravenna. I wanted to ride to Columbus for lunch today but it would not stop raining.
Wash your beard weekly that’s a long time between washings I wash my beard every day when I take a shower. But I am a hairy kind of guy I look like a Sasquatch. When we are camping it can get dangerous running around in the woods with my shirt off. LOL
