Blog of note

Wow…what a difference a day can make. Yesterday when I got home from work, I went online to check my blog and I noticed that my web site counter had gone mad. It had gone from a little over 3000 viewers to around 5800 in one day…what gives? I asked myself. Then I noticed that the comments from my last post had jumped to 21 comments…I started reading the comments and got my first clue to what was going on. Some of the people were saying things like congratulations on being the blog of note; I have to admit I had no idea of what they were talking about. So I did a little investigation…

looks like the “Blog of note” is kind of an honor given out by, I think, the creators of Blogger. This,in turn, kind of makes your blog the star of Blogger for the day and this brings in a lot of extra readers; and I mean a lot. I’m somewhere around 10,000 now.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all the new readers (AND OLD) and for the honor of “blog of note” oh yea I forgot to mention my followers doubled too. What a great day to blog…

I posted the YouTube link below to give you an idea how I really feel…just use your imagination and in vision me in the role of speech giver, less the dress, the hair, and most of the makeup…ha-ha.

Where are the motorcycles???

Where are the motorcycles, this is a question I keep asking myself every day as I ride my bike to work. Everyday I pull up on my bike and scan the parking lot…never do I see a single bike. What gives??? I know that there are several people that work in my building that own them, but for some reason they never (and I mean never) ride them. I’ve been riding my bike to work now for around 8 months and in that time I have only seen four bikes at work…each bike I have only seen at the office one time each, in 8 months.

Another guy stopped by my office about a week ago he drives a Harley; he was in his company truck at the time…he works for the same company but in a different building about a mile down the road. After seeing my helmet on my desk he asked if that was my bike outside…then of course we started talking about motorcycles. During our talk I asked him if he drove his bike to work are not. His answer was NO, that one; it was too much trouble and two; that he did not like putting the extra miles on the bike, due to the expense of oil changes.

Am I the only one out there that likes to ride everyday??? I have to admit I have a 30% rule…every morning I get up I check weather.com http://www.weather.com/

and if there is more than 30% chance of rain I’m taking my truck to work. If it’s fewer than 30% I’m on my bike and heading to work. Cold weather does not bother me much but truth is I live where there are very rarely days under low 30’s and almost never any snow.

I guess my question to everyone is…do you ride your bike everyday or do you hold off ridding for that perfect sunny day??? I’m beginning to think I’m the odd one here; maybe motorcycles are just for weekends…Hmm???
