So, you bought a brand new shiny bike and you don't want to get it dirty. You've decided that taking it to the rally at Sturgis by trailer should protect it. Get real! The whole idea of the Sturgis Bike rally is not just to meet people at the rally but the adventure and experience of the ride there. Maybe you don't want to ride there because it might rain or your butt might get sore. Well, boo-hoo, what are you a big sissy? You're supposed to get sore, you're suppose to get wet, you're suppose to get dirty; you're a biker! Okay, if you're over 75 and want to be with the guys one more time, you're forgiven, otherwise buck up, spray some "Old Fart Spray" on those achy muscles and use the bike for what it was made, the freedom of the road.

How did the iconic Rice-A-Roni become "The San Francisco Treat"? In 1946 a Canadian woman married an Italian immigrant, who worked in his father's, San Francisco, pasta factory. Because housing was scarce after WWII, the couple rented a room from an Armenian woman, who taught the Canadian woman how to make Armenian pilaf. When the couple had their own home, the Canadian woman made the pilaf for her brother-in-law. Inspired by the 1950's interest in convenience food, the brother-in-law suggested putting the pilaf in a box. After four years of experimenting in the pasta factory's test kitchen, the pilaf was turned into a one-pot, convenience food. Rice plus macaroni became Rice-A-Roni, the (made in) San Francisco treat.

Bargains come in all shapes and sizes. When I was in junior high, a boy gave me a going-steady ring, which I euphemistically called a friendship ring so my mother would let me wear it.

Drink the champagne provided, however cheap, try out all the seats, use the champagne bucket for throwing up in, wind the privacy partition up and down, up and down, up and down, hang out of the window being loud and obnoxious and squeeze as many of your mates in as possible.

It is estimated that over 90% of Illinois residents use their seatbelts. This has been the case for the last two years. Yet, apparently 90% isn't good enough for Governor Rod R. Blagojevich. For some reason, he feels that the state needs 100% compliance with the laws requiring people to use seatbelts. He wants to use his resources to make sure that during the 2008 holiday season everyone wears a seatbelt. Many would argue this is their own decision. Why should they be required to wear a seatbelt? They aren't hurting anyone else if they get in a wreck, aren't wearing a seatbelt, and die. They have the resources to make an informed decision about whether or not to wear a seatbelt.
