From the Poser thread. Nice & warm again today, and just too much ice to really do anything out there, sucks. Be a nice riding day, but melting ice and salt kind of spoil that for me. Another day in the house, but at least today have bright sunshine warming the place up. Makes a huge difference in how you feel, having windows and sunshine, versus the old drive to werk in the dark, and already getting dim out on the way home, only seeing sunlight on weekends for a few hours this far north.

I love stories like this, country took a while to get there, but showing appreciation to these youngsters was due.

Maybe a few days, not many. As often, anyway. Funny how even a sound or smell brings it back. Been years since little Asian people chased me in my sleep. Not complaining about that...
