Midknight Review -- new and revised: Still on the rode. Nothing went as planned .

Update: OMG. While it is true that I rode the road, still, my headline should have read: "Still on the road." . . . . . and I am "still on the road," in Seattle this Saturday, the 24th.

Did 600 miles today. Stayed out of trouble.

When riding cross country, always reserve a room in advance. I did. Bad news . . . they got confused somehow and when I pulled into the motel, no room. Took me two hours to find a place to stay.

Best Western. $101 including a full breakfast prepared by a real chef (value: $23 including tip) which brings the cost down to $78 for the room and $23 for breakfast.

Good news: I over inflated my tires (motorcycle tires are different from automobile tires). The bike weighs 1100 pounds with me and my gear on board. Inflated from 32 /36 front and rear to 38/40. Mileage improved by 3 miles per gallon !!!

Also, if you are a biker and have problems with "cupping," it is because you are breaking too hard, coming to a stop. Trust me on this. I had the problem. Some old Harley biker told me the truth. I changed how I came to a stop and the cupping disappeared.

Anyway, enough of my free advice. Love the ride, but it is hard on this old man.

I will probably publish in earnest early Friday (early means around 3 or 4 am west cost time. Pictures are coming

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
