2017 December Trip to Vietnam
I saw a great deal on flights to Vietnam in October of 2017 for around $500 RT so I knew I had to finally head to Asia and not always back to Europe…get a little out of my comfort zone. When I posted the good fare on social media I had a good friend ask…
Movember is HERE!
I’ve been raising money for Movember for nine years now and it means so much more now. Please help.
Good ride along the Apache Trail
This site can’t always be me bitching about Trump and his shitty people…yes, if you still support Trump you likely a racist or very ignorant person. If you think you are a religious person, then it makes it worse…how can you support a guy (and his administration) who are so hurtful to those who your…
Where from here?
Trump isn’t going away anytime soon, Pence may seem more mentally stable, but his ideal America is similar to the “Handmaids Tale” series on Hulu. Even if those to go away, we’ve got the rest of the Republican “leadership” trying to take our country into the toilet. What can be done? I can’t accept that…
Trump’s moral compass?
This how the president thinks. Is this how you think? If you still support Trump and consider yourself a religious person, please think about the message of peace taught by religious (mainstream) founders and look at what this president is doing. How does this match up? How can his actions be justified by any peace…
Trump Tweets
If you are a fan of Trump, you really need to read his Tweets. If you are still a fan of Trump after reading them, please do some soul searching on how you think a president should be and how the president should act. How are his tweets helping anyone? Inflaming tensions with another unstable…
The correct response
This Governor says exactly what should have been said if we had a decent human being as our president. We do not.
2017 Ride Route
Finally have my ride routed (mostly), but as with any year it is subject to change a bit as I go. I’ll start a ride notes page as always and keep that updated almost daily. Click here to see the route page with daily notes…coming as soon as I head out!

Dear VA Beneficiary, Did you know that you may be eligible for an annual clothing allowance if you use a prosthetic or orthopedic appliance and/or medication for a service…
Help “One in Ten”
Hey all, the Phoenix non-profit, “One in Ten” that supports homeless LGBTQ youth had their facility burn down yesterday and they need help. I’m not sure if Lager of Love is starting up again, but this group of kids could certainly use some help. Joanne Please consider donating any of the items below or…
Reunion with old friends from Germany
I was stationed in Darmstadt, Germany during a portion of my time in the military. This past weekend was a long overdue reunion! Another bonus to my visit was to see my cousins, sister-in-law, and a great friend from Arizona who is now living in Annapolis. My cousin’s friend gave us a behind the scenes…
Even the Russians Think Trump’s Administration is a Joke
Lavrov on Comey: Was he fired? You’re kidding Secretary of State Rex Tillerson welcomes Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov for a meeting in Washington. Source: CNN
Politically Correct
What’s wrong with being “politically correct”? Doesn’t it just mean that we should treat each other with the respect and dignity we all deserve? I see many people who slam the term, but also know many of those same people to use ethnic slurs when referring to some people. Are these the same…
Golf and The Cheeto
From CNN: Donald Trump’s golf problem – CNN https://apple.news/AbyKiJgPhQlOFZrigRIo07A Updated 1:02 PM EDT April 10, 2017 Let’s start here: Presidents — all of them — are entitled to some leisure time. For the last two presidents, their preferred leisure time has been spent primarily playing golf. Which, again, is totally fine! Being president, in…
Woken up yet?
Your cheeto does not care for you. I know you were hoping someone would listen to you, but this orange asshole wasn’t it. Next time think a little bit about your vote and what impact it might have. Here is just one example: In Ohio County That Backed Trump, Word of Housing Cuts Stirs Fear…
Trump failed! Hooray.
Good to see the biggest loser lose along with Ryan and all of the other poor and needy hating Republicans on the far right. Thanks to all that is good that there are enough moderate republicans (or super far right … not really thankful for them) who felt this wasn’t the right plan to support.…
Voted for Trump? Still happy about that?
Do you still think think Trump was worth your vote? A new scandal almost every day, spending more on golf and travel in 50+ days than President Obama spent in a year. He used to tweet constantly about how much he hated that Obama was wasting tax payer money on vacations…and now he’s wasting more…
Northwest Ski Fun
Late in February 2017 I was able to visit my cousins in Spokane, WA for some skiing in WhiteWater BC and on Mount Spokane. Both mountains provided great winter fun. The photos below are from Whitewater BC: The images below are from Mount Spokane: A fun video from the day with help from…
One of the costs of Trump
Haven’t verified this, but if it is true…what a waste of our money. This idiot and his family are going to destroy us all.
