It's all Al Gore's fault. Him and his Global Warming hoax. We even saw a bit of white in the Houston area this winter. Have faith, it has to warm up soon; or this may be the new ice age that was predicted for the late 70's, just a bit behind schedule... tp dd50

I like your Snow Glide. tp

Nothing special, just took the old Electra Glide out for a 50 mile jaunt. Temp in the low 80's, blue skys and the air is filled with the sweet blossoms of spring. Every mile is a different taste for the sensations as I chug along the old country roads at a leisurely 55. This is the last of the carb baggers and I feel a throwback to my youth, without a care, the breeze in my face, and all alone on the road as my mind is constantly stimulated by different scents in the air. Even the horse farms smell pleasant today. How glad I am that I live in the South!

Once, while taking the family to the beach in California, I stopped at the Love's north of Vegas. I was in full Griswold mode and tried to strike up a conversation with a biker at the pump across from me.

Me: "Where you headed?"

Surly guy: "Nowhere."

Me: "Oh, just out for a jaunt?"

Surly guy: "I don't know what a jaunt is."

Ok then.

Anyway, I'm glad you had an enjoyable jaunt.
