Mapping Rides

No classwork for a week, so I'm enjoying some time listening to Pandora and surfing all over. Started off with looking at the Raider Forum at MyBikeForums, which lead me to a site called MotoWhere. Very groovy site, it is. I was able to map out some of the rides I've done, and look at some other ones that folks have posted.

The Maryland rides can be found here and Pennsylvania rides here. Fellow Keystone Staters need to get on the ball! Hey Dave - here's the Florida rides. There's plenty to choose from.

Also found a Facebook group called "Fort Meade and surrounding areas Motorcycle Riders". If you're a rider in the area - and on Facebook - look it up. Doesn't look like the group's been around long; only 10 members. But hey - gotta start somewhere. Thinking about starting a Facebook for the CMA (Christian Motorcyclists Association) chapter I'm a member of, Bayside Believers. Hopefully I can get that kicked off soon, before classes start again in a week.

Obviously a Slacker Blogger

Well I had a run of articles for our CMA newsletter that I figured I could blog with - but that was about the extent of my blogging. That was in January..

... of 2009.

Every so often I see something, or think of something that I think is blog-worthy, but I never get around to making the online commentary. Not that I have a large following.. or any following.. but sometimes it's fun to just put thoughts down on "paper" (as it were) and put them out there for anybody who cares.

Random thoughts.. like this past weekend, for instance. Driving back up to Columbia from my cousin's wedding in Richmond (which was a great time, incidentally), I couldn't help but notice a couple different places that were flying ginormous American flags over their businesses. What businesses? Car dealerships. FOREIGN car dealerships. Kia and Toyota, to be specific. After seeing the second flag, I decide to keep an eye out for the flags over American car dealerships. A Ford dealership around Waldorf had a modestly-sized flag flying, and a nearby GM (Government Motors) dealership's flag pole was empty. Granted, I didn't decide to begin my flag survey until late in the trip. I'm going to pay more attention the next time I'm out and about.
