Shameless Plug
I am open to anyone who would love to let me ride their motorcyle. Nice day like today makes me long for the road, but my wonderful bride will not allow me to own one. Anyone got two and would like to have a riding buddy for a day?
Steve, I have those same thoughts sometimes. So frequently that I have been Seriously thinking about getting one here the last few months. Alas, I always come back to one overwellming piece of logic. I am not home very often to ride it, "So why?" I also would need a place to park it, so again "Why?"
We may have to talk. But since I am down to only one bike of my own, in order to ride together, I would have to talk to my wife about riding one of her THREE. Don't laugh, only one of them is bigger than mine.
My most recent "second bike" was for sale about three years ago, when my short afternoon ride was halted by a van. I continued on to an unscheduled destination by helicopter for an extended stay, but made it home eventually. In a wheelchair. The insurance company offered my more than I was advertising for the bike, so I sold it to them and made out like a bandit. A permanently disfigured, titanium plated, limping bandit, that is.
(dont tell carole)
I am big on poetic justice, though, and I take comfort in the fact that, later that day, the guy probably threw up when he had to wash me off his van - serves him right!
Apple makes some neat stuff, no doubt, but their arrogance annoys me. They have a pretty big ASIC group, and as ASIC designers go (and I am one), I'm sure they'd love to use their MACs to make the chips that make their products so wiz-bang. Alas, they can't - they have to use Linux on servers with that good old PC-ish architecture. I have that bit of satisfaction over those snooty Cupertino boys.
