Something unique about the sound of gravel crunching underneath tires. I love the sound. I am not sure why. There is a peacefulness to newly laid tar roads and a certain hum to interstate cement. Nothing sounds like gravel though.

Niagara Falls definitely falls into a great wonder of the world. The power of the water coming over the falls is awe inspiring. The ground rumbles and shakes as the water moves on. This is a picture of the people wearing their plastic protective garments to get closer to the falls without getting soaked. ThisContinue reading “NiAgArA FaLlS”

Every four years we are blessed with the opportunity to vote in a national election for president of the United States. This year may seem to be overwhelming, but you need to choose to stand for something and go to the ballot box and vote. It is your duty, right and privilege to be ableContinue reading “ElEcTiOn DaY USA”

Does anyone see the actual purpose for daylight savings time to mean anything anymore? I realize back in the says of yore they wanted perceived extra working hours in the day. I think it would be easier to just change the hours of the few people who need to have the extra sunlight to changeContinue reading “DaYliGhT SaViNgS TiMe”

It was always so much fun having the kids/grandkids stop by to trick or treat. All the kids would be running up and down the streets with sugar coursing through their veins.

There have been a lot more vehicles driving around with people wearing blaze orange safety vests. The covid doesn’t seem to have slowed the hunting down. When walking the fieldContinue reading “PhEaSaNt SeAsOn”

I did some trail and off road motorcycling this summer. With me on a 2013 R1200 BMWGSLC with luggage I was probably close to a thousand pounds. I looked at some of the guys on the dirt bikes and I have been wondering if I should get one a little bit lighter and nimble forContinue reading “OfF RoAd”

Here in lies the question for motorcyclists. I have been told for years that mopeds are not real motorcycles. (according to the motorcycle gurus). I look at this picture and it shows two people on a motorcycle appearing to be having a great time. Isn’t that what two wheel adventure is about. I think theContinue reading “MoPeD”

Every holiday has its own color and flavor. Halloween has taken over the orange and black category. It seems the colors of the leaves changing may have something to do with this. Also pumpkins are orange and are ripe at this time of year. Some others are Christmas red and white and 4th of JulyContinue reading “HaLlOwEn CuPcAkEs”
