Everything She Owns

John18 Comments

This makes me sad. I was on a six-mile bike ride this afternoon since it’s so beautiful today and saw this woman pushing the shopping cart across a large parking lot. To get the shot, I waited behind a minivan for her to come from behind it. This should not be happening in this country!

I believe that if our government and entities such as NASA which I don’t think is a government entity, stopped spending billions to go to a damn dead world called Mars, and stopped spending billions on better ways to kill people on planet Earth, our sad homeless problem could either be eliminated or at the least, these people around our country could get a Hand Up, not a Hand Out.

The sickening, skewed priorities of those in high places of authority in this country need to be shoved off of their thrones. All people matter no matter their skin color. A dead world billions of miles away from us has zero value to humanity, so what is the point of going there? There is no point!

Face Mask Pollution

John6 Comments

Almost every time I take the bike out for a ride, I come across a discarded face mask. Welcome to the new cigarette butt replacement as the most littered thing on Earth. Well, maybe not as bad as a lazy smoker tossing butt after butt out the car window or dropping the spent dispenser cartridge of addiction on the ground. But it’s ridiculous. Anyway, at least the lovely mountain views aren’t polluted. One of these photos was shot at 16mm which makes the light poles appear to be falling over. Partly sunny and 61F are on deck for today, cloudy and 34F is the high in my Michigan hometown today.

Truths Of Days Of Old

In my view, if you remember these things then you are very lucky to have lived those years. The meme that mentions giving you something to cry about is related to a conversation I’m having with some brainwashed dolt on Instagram this morning. This person believes that disciplining your child is abuse.

My reply was that we grew up having respect for our parents, elders, and people in general. The politically correct army has brainwashed this poor bastard and I feel sorry for him. This kind of thinking will only lead to more anarchism. I am so grateful that I was born in 1960 and have such great parents and family. Amen.

Biker Bar

This photo is from 2018 on one of my joyrides, I may have been heading to Pahrump. Getting to the Mountain Springs Saloon is easy by taking Blue Diamond Road west out of Las Vegas and heading up the 5000-foot pass which is where this hole-in-the-wall bar is located. I went inside just once to use the men’s room and was not impressed.

The place is really small, and the bathroom was nasty, complete with naked women photos on the walls along with phone numbers and yucky-ness. Sorry, whoever you are that owns this place, but you really need to clean it up! Not all biker bars are shitholes… Sunshine and 59F are on tap for today which is right around a normal temperature for January.

I’m taking a day or two off from bike riding as my backside is a bit sore from too much time in the saddle!
