You really should visit the South. I’d be happy to give you a tour of or flag displays. I pass several Confederate flags on my way to training hikes. And along the highway heading towards the mountains is a Confederate flag the size of a two story house. Freedom of speech has an ugly underbelly doesn’t it ?

Shiny new TLD helmet showed up today. It fits really well and is making me comfortable with spending the coin to get a new helmet. Looking forward to being the old guy riding my Enduro with a fancy helmet and my sunglasses come snow melt.

That's not an uplifting story. A bullet would have been way cheaper. A kid from my community did himself in at boot camp a couple months ago. The parents were pissed the army was hanging onto the body during the investigation. Just a bad deal all the way around.
