I'm as safe as I can be Jessica and ride very defensively. I rarely even speed and many a car, suv, van and truck speed past me.
Riding only in dry weather, mild days, daytime between rush hours, back roads ... and yet dumb car drivers are still about.
I found a good way to meet people in a variety of open groups.
I use an app called "Meetup" with hundreds of my city's open groups. I've mainly been and still am in face to face discussion groups, dinner and sundowner groups for over 50's, ... cards group once.
It's Australia wide and once I...
My first job was with my father who ran a pub just south of Belfast. Dad paid me on an hourly basis and encouraged me to save. I did all sorts of jobs around the pub from stocking the bars, washing and collecting glasses, washing dishes in the restaurant's kitchen and at thirteen I was serving...
I heard about that Thomas and other freezes of Russian monies held abroad, and using that money to aid Ukraine I think? Something like that.
No doubt the Oiligarch mob bosses are not happy. 😄
Good to hear Germany's got clout Thomas. 😊 Stay warm.
This is a horror read of Trump's pick of Bobby Kennedy as chief of US health.
President-elect Donald Trump 's plan to appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to lead the Health and Human Services Department will put a prominent vaccine skeptic at the helm of the nation's sprawling public health...
Australia found many alternative markets for our exports when China put all those huge tarriffs on us, thanks to ex PM Morrison's big mouth.
Regardless, diversifying has ended up making us more secure without the need for China's trade on many goods.
Eventually China realised it had shot itself...
As expected Trump is currently constructing his cabinet of henchmen and women.
Some like Rubio are happy and nicely deserving. Likewise others, but not all. How about his pick for Attorney General Matt Watts who was once up on child sex trafficking charges, led by the department/s he's now in...
He might be lucky aged 40. I'm not sure.
I was too young for Vietnam and felt awful thinking what those guys went through. As you know, these poor shell shocked return soldiers got spat on by ignorant twerps.
Despite that, our Diggers performed superbly well in that stupid war.
Even in recent...
Hi Thomas,
My grandfather, father and uncle were military officers in the British army, navy and air force.
Party to avoid my mother's wish for me to enter the priesthood I was happy for my father to push me into the armed forces. I applied for officer training in Australia's Army and Navy at...
The new age of Trump is unfolding with "You're Hired" going on now frantically with supplicants milling on Consumptive Potty Potus TRump's garish veranda. Here's some old and new picks.

Canine dental work is expensive indeed Craig. I too clean my dogs teeth for the cost involved. I have doggy toothpaste, little brushes and two finger gloves that work the best.
This below is my dogs dental kit. Note the electric toothbrush. 🤗
The epiotic fluid is for cleaning his ears.
Hi Jessica,
I'm not in any Biker community group, and never ever a bikie nor affiliate.
I looked on line and there's not much. I saw one Biker group in a far flung suburb, so too far. I helped run a Uni Biker group once.
My two ageing biker mates are procrastinators .. truly. All talk..
I...
Bribery and breaking laws seem common practice in the US Craig.
Hush money payments, starting riots, lobbyists paying bribes to senators, ... all seem ok for the Muga rich in the US, threats, stand over tactics of Electoral officials, ... it's like a third world country.
I don't have a leather jacket for my motorbike Jessica. Leather is very expensive so my jacket is a Drider made from polyester and nylon but with tough carbon fibre armour inserts for shoulders, back, elbows and forearms. I wear thick jeans, tough boots, knee pads, tough gloves and a good helmet.
It is a calculated risk not to have private health insurance Thomas but with Australia's Medicare major operations and procedures like Heart, Cancer, ... are provided free to public patients like me. It's more the elective surgery one has to pay for. One can even get hip and knee replacements on...
