A Horse With No Name

A bunch of Asian and Hawaiian, probably quie a few with black DNA. Not a whole lot of black folk in Hawaii....but California...I bet so.

The stupidity deepens... We are going to alienate everyone...!

Some days I miss being a young man, that was very much part of it. And will continue to do so. That and E bikes, E lawn mowers, E snow blowers. In Ohio, I work in facilities for a university. We got rid of our gas powered snow blowers and got electric ones. Much quieter, never fail to start on a cold morning, no explosive gas sitting around, don't need to keep a bunch of gas on hand for them, lighter, cleaner (no grease or oil, etc.) Amazon around here is all E delivery vehicles. The paradigm shift is happening, and we see this overseas on other markets, where electric cars are rapidly replacing EV's. This is why I see the demise of domestics (among other issues). When the inevitable happens and the US and Canada do open the door to Chinese EV's, they will be so far ahead of what US automakers are making that it will be like watching the typewriter business or the buggy business go away as the new technology rushes in like a flood.

Exactly why you don't necessarily want a vintage car. Modern cars MUCH safer.

We have done generational damage to the United States, and it won't get better in our lifetime. Excellent. Running thicker oil and changing regularly works well for me.

If only we could have Medicare for all. If anyone has any intelligent commentary on how the job market is affecting auto sales, I am all ears.

I would rather have EV than a turbo 4, although the Ranger has done well for itself. About to turn 126K, it just keeps on trucking. Didn't even know they made bikes in the USA anymore.

I absolutely love the design on this, and out of the park home run IMHO.

I have had a couple of amazing black cats. The planes we use to fly into huricanes are decades old... They regularly go through checks where the whole interior is stripped out and the whole plane is inspected. I feel fine flying on a 25 year old aircraft. That being said, In Hawaii a roof blew off of a plane once, a stewardess got blown out of the plane, but everyone else was buckled in, landed fine. Plane obviously never flew again, was a Boeing 737. But that plane had a ton of cycles, as it was used on very short haul flights.

Hypnotic ride through Mexico City.

Planes can safely fly much longer. I love watching Altimas get crushed at the salvage yard. Yes....I have two grey cats like that, I love grey cats.

Two cheap old bikes, ready to roll again. This is my older bike for when I go on trips and don't feel like bringing a better one. Knew there would be rain coming back, didn't want to haul a better bike through rain in the back of the Ranger. Been into bikes lately, like the look of this Surly fat tire bike. I love steel frames. Music!

My thanksgiving dinner.

Met this critter on a ride... Trolls at the Hike at the NC Asheville Arboretum

I try to boycott all of the above every chance I get, including trying to avoid flying on Boeing planes. Interesting spring trip. I plan on being home for a few months though, spent a pleasant Thanksgiving seeing family, and hiking and biking in Kentucky and North Carolina. Pics from Kentucky, Dawkins rail trail.

I have also. Economy is slowing.
