A Motorcycle Ride To Remember
A Motorcycle Ride To Remember
By Bob Schwartz
It was a week before Thanksgiving and the wife and I were staying in the Scottsdale area of Phoenix, Arizona. We had gone there for a couple days to relax and take in the sights. Unfortunately, the forecast was for a couple days of rain, and because of job commitments, we just couldn’t change our itinerary.
On the drive out from San Diego, there were just a couple of areas of rain and within about 45 min. the rest of the 6 1/2 hour trip was basically under cloudy skies. I had taken my helmet, motorcycle jacket and boots because I was planning on taking a look at a motorcycle that was offered for sale that was about an hour and a half north of Phoenix. I thought that if the bike looked good and I could reach an acceptable price with the seller, I would just ride it back to San Diego.
Unfortunately, as things turned out, for the four days that we were in Scottsdale it rained every day. We still managed to take in a couple of the sites and my wife went on a three hour tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright residence and school located on the eastern end of town.
I was planning on taking a look at the motorcycle for sale while my wife was on her tour, but, the weather was so bad I just had to call and cancel because I did not relish the fact that I would have to ride about three hours round-trip in rainy thunderstorm conditions. Read more

P.C. THANKSGIVING DAY 2022
Julia yelled to her husband, “Winston, come into the dining room, it’s time to eat,”
“In a minute, honey, it’s a tie score,” he answered. Actually Winston wasn’t very interested in the traditional holiday football game between the Detroit Pussy Cats and the Washington Original Natives.
Ever since the government passed the Civility in Sports Statute of 2017, outlawing tackle football for its “unseemly violence” and the “bad example it sets for the rest of the world,” Winston was far less of a football fan than he used to be. Two-hand touch wasn’t nearly as exciting. Read more
