Limping On From Alabama

Well, as Homer Simpson once said, "Beer is the cause and cure of all the world's trouble". I've spilled a glass of beer on the computer a few weeks ago. It was an embarrassing display of sobriety gone awry, I can't even blame impaired coordination. The computer did start but the keyboard is not working so I've stolen a few minutes at work to put something down. I feel a little guilty if I don't post something every once in awhile.

I've done a few good rides since being in Alabama. A few weeks ago I rode to Georgia to check out Chickamauga Battlefield. I returned via Tennessee. It's beautiful country here. I took nothing but back rodes, a motorcycling cliché. Another is the idea of stopping at a small family diner for something to eat. I rarely do that and always feel a little guilty (again with the guilt). I usually stop at Taco Bell, McDonalds or Burger King. I stopped feeling guilty when I realized I don't ride to eat. I don't like taking time from the bike to wait on service. I do eat at the odd diner as a treat though. It makes it special that way.

Well it may be a while til the next post, I'm leaving Alabama tomorrow morning and who knows where I'll find the next computer.

Katrina

I had a big rant written about my anger at the people looting and raping in New Orleans and my anger at the federal and state governments for dropping the ball but it's not worth it. There are enough Monday morning quaterbacks for that. I'm just praying that the people who lost everything find themselves better off after it's all said and done. It's a niavé hope, but you never know.
