ride on, baby

A smile on your face / But not in your eyes / You're looking through me / You don't feel it inside / Get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby

geez a few weeks ago it was warm and sunny, I was sitting at the beach and girls were stripping in front me...
but things change.....

ooooh, it's cold outside! I went to check some cut trees around Santa Claus Lane and then realized it was the annual toy run today Sunday...Christmas is all about good tidings and good will so no wonder this toy run is so popular... even though Dr. Laura tried to destroy it one year, it remains a fun thing..oh I know it's for the Unity Shoppe and the celebrities, but the motorcylists do it for the kids...

but while  I waited for the run to start, I checked out what Caltrans did..they chopped down a few big beautiful pine trees and pulled out some cattails from the ditch, or little wetlands as the enviros may call it....whatever, the damage is done by the clodheads at Caltrans...cattails I've loved since a wee boy..they are just cool...so why destroy them? especially since they can clean or purify water in the ditches..."Many people consider cattails an undesirable weed that needs to be exterminated but the plant is actually a very beneficial one that can clean water naturally just by growing in it. Besides being a beautiful swamp plant the cattail can purify water of toxins. It is used in water treatment plants to treat and purify water naturally without any chemicals or expensive water cleaning systems.

Many communities have started using cattails to clean their waste water naturally. They are purposely planted in areas of water that solid waste has been removed from. After waste is removed the cattail plant detoxifies the remaining toxins like nitrates, mercury, ammonia's and bad bacteria that is left in the water after it has been filtered."

Thanks Caltrans!!

but anyway, I don't think Caltrans will ever win the battle against cattails which makes me happy...but why cut down the pines? they looked beautiful esp around Christmas time...pines and eucalyptus..my favorites trees now  threatened by Caltrans....damn fools

so the motorcyclists rode from Santa Claus Lane and they were a very friendly group, a little smaller this year but good nonetheless...

keep on riding!!!
