Welcome to November!
- It always seems to snow on Halloween, or so I was told when we moved here. Yesterday it proved true. Miserable day.
- Today I start teaching riders how to ride Harleys. This will be the first class I teach with just one other coach, not six others. Should be fun.
- Class starts @ 5:30 and runs to about 8:00, both this evening and tomorrow evening. Saturday & Sunday are range days or days the class actually rides Harleys.
- Days are colder now, so riding requires more clothing. Nice thing about New Mexico, we have a year-round riding season, if you’re hardy enough.
- November 11th is Veteran’s Day. The HOG chapter has a service every year to remember our vets. This year, I am the one leading the ceremony. Two of our members will do readings and reflect and then we all head to lunch.
- That’s it for now. No jokes, no memes, just me.
Never a dull moment here!
One of the guards @ Santa Fe County Jail carpools with our son-in-law and he passes that boulder every day. Today, he must have decided to try and jump it. He failed!
Muslim Tolerance
Jiggs McDonald, NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster speaking in Ontario, says:
“I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in Toronto. I think it should be the goal of every Canadian to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.”
“That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque; thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, “The Turban Cowboy,” and the other, a topless bar, would be called “You Mecca Me Hot.”
“Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called “Iraq of Ribs.”
Across the street, there could be a lingerie store called “Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret,” with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods, and on the other side, a liquor store called ” Morehammered.”
“All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us.”
Yes we should promote tolerance, and you can do your part by passing this on.
And if you are not laughing or smiling at this point, it is midnight at the oasis and time to put your camel to bed.
Teaching others to ride motorcycles
I start RDP (rider coach prep) on Monday. Classes are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for 7 days in Albuquerque. I’ll be staying at the Residence Inn down there for the entire 7 days.
Why am I doing this? I find riding a passion that I’d like to share and teaching others to ride will be my way of sharing. Pretty simple really. Several of my friends have done this for many years and have encouraged me to join their ranks, and I am.
This site may have very few entries this coming week, but I’ll be back posting the following week. My first class will be Nov. 1 of this year.
Peace!
