SOMETIMES YOU EAT THE BEAR;

SOMETIMES THE BEAR EATS YOU;

BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN,

THE BEAR JUST HOLDS YOU DOWN,

AND SHITS ON YOU.

Well, I got the motorcycle back.  I haven't wrecked a second time (yet).  I drove around for a while yesterday, and I will do it again today.  Found a few nice roads nearby with little traffic and good twists.  The advantage here is the lack of traffic.  I can practice stops, starts, u-turns, figure eights, etc, without any traffic to try to kill me!!  At any given moment I can pull out of a turn and stop with relative safety.

In the advertisements tacked onto this site they started showing BODY ARMOR adds today, the day after I first mention it.  My mission for the rest of the evening is to think of a great phrase that advertisers will hit upon.  They also hit me with baby adds.  The software sees children, but does not know how much I am slamming kids.  Ditto with SUV ads.  Pretty funny.

I obviously did not think of anything, instead I went away and fell asleep!  Now I have thought of some thing, though!  About three days after I got my new motorcycle, I crashed it.  Really stupid, completely my fault.  The bike is fairly mangled, but they are fixing it.  I was not very mangled, so I fixed myself.  If you buy a motorcycle, buy a lot of thick leather and crash gear.  My head was slammed to the ground, my ankle pinned under 500 pounds of sliding metal, and my elbow dragged along the ground.  I have scrapes and bruises (my leathers do too).  Body armor inside the jackets elbow probably saved me the most serious injuries, and that $25 investment probably saved over a thousand dollars in bills plus a month of lost work with a broken elbow.

I have nothing interesting to say, but if I stay here long enough, it will come to me.
