Just remembered an interesting tidbit to my motorcycle trip. when I was taking off my rain gear at a Shell station in mid Illinois, a voice asked me where the rain was. I turned around and it was another cyclist gassing up at the pump. I didn't notice her when I drove up. I told her about the rain as she was heading to MO, and she thanked me.
She was about five foot tall and almost as wide and I looked over at her bike. It was a three wheeler, loaded down. She was from Florida and had been up in WI for a rally and now was heading for Oklahoma for another one. I asked her if she was seeing family, and she said no, just going to the rallies. She had to be in her early 70's. I hope that I am still out riding at that age, and maybe still on a two wheeler. But I see a three wheeler in my future.
And just to add some spice to life, I haven't seen so many debates so far before the primary season in my life. I missed the one hosted by U Tube but saw the reports - now that's the kind they should have. The Dems are coming to Chitown in a few weeks for a debate at Soldier Field - I think the AFL-CIO are hosting this one. Wonder if I can get in if I wear my Local 212 Teachers t-shirt?
I wonder if anyone really is listening. This is just too early. Haven't heard about any Repub debates but they are pretty much w/o hope if the Dems stick together behind their candidate.
And getting to my favorite Bush (not) - he still is trying to rewrite history - Al Quida and Iraq.
That's about it for today.
