Bullied by Teens
I had just started down my street to go get my doggie pal Echo for a walk when some idiot kids in a passing vehicle tossed a full pop can at me, narrowly missing me, and spraying me with ginger ale. The can struck the sidewalk as I fixed my eyes on the speeding car (and heard the cackling from within) and repeated the license plate number out loud, over and over, until I could get my Blackberry out of its holster and write the number down. …

A drop of golden sun lured four of us to ride motorcycles out to Arkona to conduct a bit of business on Thursday. Three bikes, four people, beautiful conditions. It’s what riding is all about. …

Personal Responsibility
Oh this is rich. But let me first say that this is not a rant against men. It’s a rant against two men. Two rich, egomaniacal, self-centred and overly pampered men who believe they do no wrong. Now that that’s on the record…. …
