I've been considering a long post about some things I've been thinking about but I don't know that I will. Ultimately though, the younger generation, myself included as far as age, finances everything and finds themselves in debt. They do little to no research and simply don't seem to care. I research everything, save the money, buy it then. The younger still generation is even worse and they think that electric is zero emission and ultimately free., it's not. They are voting in more officials that push the boundaries on emissions, based on the false premise of "global warming" and without researching anything, believe the BS they're being force fed. Meanwhile, companies have our business and are targeting the younger generations. We are no longer part of their focus so we perceive everything they're doing as crap. when in reality, they are just trying to appeal to a different demographic. The irony of it is this though; they are out priced for the demographic they are targeting and are suffering for it.

I'll be back, playing with my daughter.

Sometimes I agree Chris but on the other hand I see some amazing young adults that really have their head screwed on straight. Probably about 50/50. But it is the blind to the world ones that always stand out.

That’s because those little tarts make the most noise.

I don't mean to say they all are, but from what I'm seeing it appears that way. I see a lot of bad, and sometimes it's hard to remember there are good people. But Russ, you're right, they are definitely the loud ones that stand out.

I'm going to bed guys. Might squeeze a ride in in the morning.

Okay, now I'm out. This was a cool shot I got while in Kansas a couple years back.

I've heard people say Linux doesn't need anti virus programs, but when I see some of the crap some websites have when their addresses are run through one of those on line analyzers, makes me wonder if those are really windoze only.

Granddaughter got a year's supply of clothes and toys on her 3rd today. I wasn't going to get any toys, but on a hamburger and tomato run (mine are crap so far this year) at Sam's Club, there was this package of six 5-6" dinosaurs for 14 bucks and I did a rare impulse grab (not counting motorcycles of course)...

Evening Woods. Made it to BCBPv1.0. Weather looks good, a bit chilly for tomorrow. Will be a fun ride with Pauler on the mountains. Have the stereo set up in the sxs, playing with the suspension to get a smoother ride. Looking forward to exploring.
