When my husband and I rode together on one bike, nobody saw us and it was as if we were invisible. Now that we each ride our own bikes we have become more visible and I feel safer. Maybe it's because people think the two headlights approaching are one car and take notice.<BR/><BR/>love,<BR/>SandySandy Hatcher-Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011307599473627922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-86758327808302994242008-08-29T21:24:00.000+10:002008-08-29T21:24:00.000+10:00Dear Merle,I'm glad you are having pleasant weathe...Dear Merle,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you are having pleasant weather and I know you are looking forward to spring. I am looking forward to fall, but August has been a wonderful month for the most part. <BR/><BR/>I like your biker post. We must always respect people's choices, and not look down on them or be afraid of them just because they chose a different mode of living and look different . <BR/><BR/>The blond jokes are always funny. And yes, being a parent is a permanent job sometimes with many complications but with great rewards as well! <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed my visit as always, dear Merle. I hope your weather continues on the nice side, and that you have a lovely and enjoyable weekend. It is Labor Day weekend here, and we'll be having cookouts at the cabin.<BR/><BR/>Take care and stay well, my friend.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>RenieRenie Burghardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660484248593903002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-53871245619923184452008-08-29T17:20:00.000+10:002008-08-29T17:20:00.000+10:00Hi Merle,That bike story kind of hit home for me. ...Hi Merle,<BR/><BR/>That bike story kind of hit home for me. My husband use to ride a bike but back high school. When he was just seventeen he rode home after work in the fog, and someone went down an off ramp and realized they had went the wrong way turned around and headed back. Now they were heading the wrong way on a one way off ramp in pea soup fog. He hit my husband head on. Quite honestly if he didn't have a full face helment he would have died. As it was he broke or fractured all four limbs. And the guy who hit him? He blamed my husband, and when that didn't work he fled town.<BR/><BR/>My husband is fine now but he has occational problems with his knees.<BR/><BR/>Janice~Janice Seagraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576031935823587485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-19294706278532138952008-08-29T08:32:00.000+10:002008-08-29T08:32:00.000+10:00Hi Merle,I hope all is well in your part of the wo...Hi Merle,<BR/><BR/>I hope all is well in your part of the world. <BR/><BR/>I have met some bikers who were very nice. They looked like sweathogs, but they were kind and friendly. Never met them before or after...<BR/><BR/>Some times bikers are in our blind spot when we are driving and we just don't see them. I always try to keep track of where they are when I am driving and they are on the road at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed your jokes. Until the next time have a nice week-end.

That's for elder bikers. But when they're in their leathers and helmets on their big bikes, it's hard to know who they are. A lot of bikers do a lot of good for the community.

You always had a little space, now it has matured and like rabbits has multiplied. :-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the two short blonde jokes, they were new to me. I used to ride a bike, I put it up when Karen was born because I was taking too many chance with it.<BR/><BR/>We are Adi's grandparents, she isn't a real cheap dog.
