Probably saved some fool a lot of hurt yesterday.

There's a guy who rides a BMW touring thing to work, even in bad weather. I was walking by it, and noticed the front tire was worn down to the CORD! I left a note tucked under his (shorty, useless) helmet, and I didn't see the thing today.

Guys, if you ride, every morning, walk around and look at the gear. Tires up and OK? Cable ends fraying? Odds and ends starting to vibrate off? Taillight shiny bright? Little things mean a lot.

Takes maybe a minute, while you're warming up and letting the oil pressure get to the top end.

I play mediocre blues on:

A Guild (westerly RI) 12 string dread
A beat-up Japanese (Conrad) dread with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides,
An Epiphone Riviera Deluxe with GFS pickups, through a weird modified Guild amp I got from Champlifer, here.

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why.
