Ping DFC: Howz the spill cleanup? How are they doing recovering the million gallons of crude oil that got loose? Whatta mess, eh? No wonder you could smell it from I-69. And what an awful way to have your town memorialized, the site of Michigan's worst oil spill. Don't those pipelines have sensors so that a sudden, unexplained pressure drop cau... 13 Aug 2010 14:43
Watching for meteors It was around 4 am and I couldn't sleep so I went outside to watch for shooting stars. Apparently we're passing through the Perseids meteor shower at the moment. http://stardate.org/nightsky/meteors/ I took a blanket and pillow, lay down on the hood of the car and watched the sky for an hour... and saw a total... 13 Aug 2010 13:38
Labor costs killing HOG Talked to a friend living near Milwaukee and the Harley situation came up. He stated that in the 1990's the entry wage at Harley, even floor sweeper-types, was $22.50 an hour. HOG must move or go under. ... 13 Aug 2010 20:12
Kali Yuga ends Dec 21, 2012 My usual reliable sources (ie, hysterical, alarmist blogs) predict that the Hindu Age of Kali Yuga ends on the Winter Solstice, 2012. Well it's a long way from India to Mexico where the Mayans also predicted some kind of Big Deal on the same date. Mere coincidence...? Or did these ancients know something we don... 13 Aug 2010 13:38

Riding gear - boots I'm thinking of these for riding boots; http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-boots/falco-boots/falco-305-eso-tt-boots/ I'm guessing many, if not most, will think these overkill for road/street riding but it would seem inconsistent to armor up everywhere else on the body but not the feet. I know the only ti... 12 Aug 2010 01:46
Two million Alaskan lunatics Anyone got the scuttlebutt on these so-called "FEMA camps" that the US govt is supposedly building? Apparently they're to house offenders who top post, play loud obnoxious rap music in self-storage depots and tailgate motorcyclists.

320 miles and one drug bust later... Interesting ride today. Went south 120 miles on the I-15 to Sandy Eggo and then turned left into the hills and did another 50 to the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum along some *great* twisties right next to the Mexican border. The locals know about those twisties, too, as I passed circa 50 sportbikes going the o... 10 Aug 2010 14:46
