    Jutland. I never realized what a giant controversy surrounding the battle. I thought, where strategically England one, well, that was that! Then again, the vast majority of my fellow country men have no idea where Jutland is, let alone the fact that a great naval battle was fought near buy.

If you escaped death, you were suppose to get a piercing, some had their entire left ear pierced with no left over real estate! even...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Chasing Classic Cars. They went to look at the collection of John "Hawkeye" Hawkinson. He was a man that would fit right in here, always felt he was born to late.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    We would stand up on the back seat and look out the rear window. Still have a vivid memory of seeing my first BMW motorcycle with it's weird cylinders jutting out of both sides!

    I wear T-Shirts, and am proud of it. Every one I know wears them, from age one to my 82 year old friend. Most have motorcycle related graphics on them, although, the dark blue one I am presently wearing has nothing on it! T-Shirts and sweat shirts are two of the best gifts given to mankind by God.

    I just thought of something. Twenty years from now, there will be an entire generation of adults, who never knew of a time when there was a limit to how much data you could use on your cell phone!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Woke up at 3:00 this morning with a severe allergy attack. Finally got back to bed after being well medicated, at 5:30. Man, Sunday morning is noisy! Leaf blowers, not sure what leaves they were blowing? Gas powered lawn rake, construction. Plus I live down from a church, they go to church...

    Restoration Garage. This reminded me, every time you hear some one say, it's a lost art, tell them they are stupid. Some where out there, is a young person recreating such an item. It was nice to see these young guys, hand forming a car body from raw aluminum. My young neighbor is making a 100...

    It's a dramatization. Not bad, but I am sure you have to take a lot of it with a grain or more of salt!
