but our current federal administration (and that of his dad) hates portland.... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/966872/posts

& our federal government has a long history of neutralizing powerful politicians who speak up for the rights of individual states and the individual... see thomas jefferson's term as ambassador to france.

& how is the tsa protecting me by taking my face wash out of my carryon and my pocketknife out of my (checked) luggage? i'm feeling more and more like i should just give up and bike and walk everywhere, like i do at home.

Skull Helmet

sparkle fingers, svenski!

why on earth would someone glue a mohawk onto their helmet? the top is supposed to be smooth so it doesn't catch on anything.

people (well, me) have enough trouble keeping eyes and mouth free of bugs and gunk at bicycle speeds, let alone motorcycle. i'm scared.

i could care less about what sort of personal protective gear people wear on the road. anything that limits the senses and the ability to navigate and share the road safely is particularly frightening.

now, if the lower part of the skull was painted/built onto an optical panel, then i'd begin to see the virtues of this helmet.

1908 Russian space impact crater discovered

There's a Readers Digest book published in 1978 (The World's Last Mysteries) that describes the incident with a possibility that a black hole actually passed through the Earth.... bystanders reported that their clothes burned and their samovars and silverware melted.

Anything related to this incident is facinating.
