New Motorcycle
I sold my 2001 Honda Gold Wing, and bought a 2006 Harley-Davidson Softail. I can’t tell you how excited I am to finally own my own HD. I have wanted one as far back as I can remember.
So why such a drastic change? Why go from a bike with everything but the kitchen sink (which may also ba available somewhere) to a bare bones cruiser? Because, cruising is what I mostly do. The Gold Wing was and is a fantastic motorcycle, but heaving that monster through the city or in rush hour sucks. I need something smaller and more nimble for the driving that I mostly do.
Of course, now the endless adding of chrome and accessories for the HD can begin!
They don’t die of old age
Most people probably realize that the meat products they consume are slaughtered, rather than harvested as they drop dead. But still, I thought they had metal detectors at processing plants these days.

What were they thinking
From CNN:
Mary Neubauer, spokeswoman for the Iowa Lottery, said hundreds of ticket buyers had played a set of numbers from the ABC drama “Lost,” which featured a character who won $156 million by playing a string of digits obtained from a patient in a mental institution: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42.
Why would you do this? Do people think that they were the only ones to think of this?
Here’s a tip, not only are you hoping to match all the numbers correctly, but also to pick numbers that no one else picks so you don’t have to split the winnings. I wouldn’t mind splitting that much money, as there is certainly enough to go around, but not by a factor of more than 100!
Insurance companies sink to a new low
It seems that if you live in Washington State, and you are the victim of an accident that was caused by an individual that meant to cause the accident, your insurance company does not have to pay you for the treatment you might require.
I don’t know how wide spread this is, but I think that you should check with your insurance company today.
