    Tammy got me some Fish Fry.   Of course the only kind she can make which is guppy fry.   That is the only kind a female guppy can make.

    I do have a complaint but I don't want to interrupt the current conversation this weekend.  Maybe I'll come back on Monday if I remember to complain.

    Be careful out there, some motorists have a deep seeded disdain for motorcycles.

    I was okay until tonight.  Pulling in to a Wawa, some dork on a dirt bike pulls a wheelie right in front of my car.  I didn't see him until he was about 2 feet from my bumper, and since he was in full-wheelie, there's no way he could have seen me or steered out of the way.  He almost died tonight and I'm sure he doesn't even know that.

    My biker days are over, but I've had my share of close calls and minor injuries from slide outs, sudden stops, and stupid carelessness.  It was great fun for many years but I survived it by heeding the lesson each incident provided. enlightenedNow as I cruise the streets in my tank of an automobile I see wannabe bikers way too often.  You know, the ones who keep their brains between their legs, and the ones who are addicted to speed (either drug or velocity), the ones who think it's the other driver's responsibility to look out for them, the ones who overestimate their biking skills, and the ones who believe they are immortal. 

    This is what I've learned:  There are two types of bikers.  The ones who have never gone down, and the ones who will.  Heads crack like eggshells and skin is a poor subtitute for leather.  Radio and phone come on after motorcycle is off.  Pay attention to the #$^%&#$  road! yes

    ...yeah close calls like that are very hard on the person behind tje wheel as well.  Motorists for the most part really don't want to hurt someone else no matter how stupid the other person is.

    Wawa.  you must be in the Eastern PA Jersey area. Used to see those when I went to Cape May for the Wildwood Kite Festival every year.  Actually had a Wawa travel mug like the one below for several years until if fell off a counter and the handle broke off.

    I use to live in Jersey and I have to say, Wawa coffee is the best coffee I have ever tasted in my short life. It's so customizable, and you get to mix it as much and pretty much any way you want. Their food is great too, and not to expensive. If you're ever in the Jersey-south NY-east PA area, find a Wawa and try it. You won't regret it. It puts 7-11, Circle K, Turkey Hill, Sheetz, and Starbucks to shame.

     I miss Wawa.crying

    My brother found a way of keeping up his membership of an MC (fully back patched)    This is an early photo,  the machine was tarted up several times, engine changed etc. Automatic gear change, all hand controls,  Space to file walking sticks (or crutches) under the back seat.  Photo taken outside the care home for disabled people where he lived for the last few years of his life.

    Yeah.   The Renegades auctioned it for Charity after he went. Macmillan Cancer support,  who looked after bothj his Wife, 9 years earlier and Dave during their last weeks.     He was accompanied by over 100 bikers from various clubs when he went on his last ride.

    I've often wondered what the other residents at Kelly House thought when they saw this funeral cortege

    Morning. The first colourful fingers of dawn casting a white glow on looming grey night-time clouds, painting our sky purple, red and white over green and gold treetops while the morning sun clambers up into a luminous cerulean sky :)

    Imagine you're living peacefully on your planet then one day your scientists see a supermassive black hole barreling down on your solar system at 4 million miles an hour devouring every star system it passes.  You know that when it arrives, that day will suck! frown

    This is exactly the possibility that may have happened 8 billion years ago to at least one galaxy far far away. http://hubblesite.org/news_release/news/2017-12

    Consider that a supermassive black hole is the heaviest object in the universe, with a mass of hundreds of thousands or millions or even billions of stars.  They exist in the center of almost every well formed galaxy because that's where they are formed and where they belong.  A supermassive blackhole is the proverbial "immoveable object" yet something has given it a walloping kick and sent it flying out of the center of its galaxy at 4 million miles an hour, in a feeding frenzy, feasting on everything in its path.

    Is this an example of the ultimate victory of the irresistable force over the immoveable object? surprise

    Now consider that if we see that this has happened at least once, then it could have happened many times and there may be orphaned, rogue, supermassive black holes whizzing in the empty space between galaxies, not feeding, not glowing with the scraps of any star meals, almost undetectable and able to all of a sudden show up as it rams into our galaxy!  Just another thing to keep you up at night. devil

    Perhaps we need a DAZ picture to illustrate the view from a doomed planet?

    ...I plan to as I got a notice from my bank of a transaction, which scared me at first as I usually only get balance alerts and there was no amount listed (which made me fear my account was overdrawn).  When I went to view my account online, I saw there was a nice big deposit from the SSA (supplemental income) to cover me until my first disability cheque arrives later this month.  Didn't expect that.

    Going to get one decent drink to celebrate.
