Today is the Million Mile Monday ride.
H.O.G. members around the world ride together for the purpose of logging 5 million miles in a 24 hour period.

Sixty-five million years ago, the Earth went through a deep cycle of climate change, extinction and adjustment. The cause (somewhat disputed) was an asteroid impact that blocked sunlight on the Earth.
It now appears that humans are causing the same kind of “climate change,” but is it inevitable? On […]

[?]Submitted by Stars Over Washington Blog

If you’re anything like me, I tend not to go for double legs because I’m always getting sprawled on. However, avoiding such an effective move altogether is not the best of ideas. Just like how you have to be good at the guard to have an […]

Is right wing extremism in the US on the rise?

No, it doesn’t require glue sniffing or kool-aid swigging to imagine the GOP’s slowly forming strategy when McCain was so obviously past his prime in the 2008 presidential run and Republicans saw Barack Obama attracting millions of people with his orating abilities and winning personality.

Branson Auto Museum Post #7

Rating 3.00 out of 5

[?]Submitted by Suede and Chrome Blog

By far the koolest and most unexpected car in the Branson Auto Museum was the Lil’ Coffin II.

This 1949 Chevrolet was of interest to me because the ‘49 is almost identical in styling to my Nifty Fifty. If memory serves me, this car could be had […]

Not much “chatter” today. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Since the Nifty Fifty was at a friend’s house getting pinstriped while I was in Missouri, I couldn’t help but snap a couple of shots of this Mercury’s stripes.

Well, still posting pictures from my visit to the Branson Auto Museum in Branson, MO. I snapped a photograph of this kool looking 4-door Mercury (I think it’s a ‘56) because it reminded me of “one that got away”. A few years ago my buddy “Trader” Don […]
