Ain't that the truth.

Group rides on long trips are more fun for me. It’s more of an adventure than anything. Ahhh, the things you see in small towns.....

No BS,

that crown Vic belongs to my former biology teacher. Jobie Irving. The guy is nuts, but hilarious. He was always a little quirky but went off the deep end when his wife (computer teacher) left him for another teacher in the same school (who I'm strangely enough related too by marriage) that car gets brush painted every couple months, and something new for every holiday. It's always fun to see it rolling around town.

Can I ask where you spotted the nut case? Im assuming by the paint, it was somewhere around July 4??

Actually, 10,000 per state, not 1000, but who's counting?

All of my group have said that we're not going this year. Then I found out yesterday that a band I want to see is at the Iron Horse for two nights. Who knows, I may go by myself this year. If I do, I'll probably do the backyard camping thing in town. I always wanted to try that.
