Hey, you might get lucky. Things might be exactly as you planned them. Or, ?

Today I went for a 105 mile motorcycle road trip with my co-worker Garry. He has a really nice BMW R1200, and I’ve still got my trusty (uncomfortable) Yamaha Maxim. The trip was on the curviest roads I’ve ever ridden, through some rural areas south of Livermore. Most of the road was one lane. The weather was super nice; somewhere in the mid-seventies.

We stopped at the world-famous Mt. Hamilton Observatory and stretched. Very fun ride.

The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. You might as well expect the rivers to run backwards as that any man who was born a free man should be contented when penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases.
