Wanna go for a ride?

I went for a ride on my motorcycle in north Seattle this past spring and decided to put on my helmet cam to show my POV when riding. This is one of my favorite spots when riding because of all the trees, the little brook by the side of the road, etc - nice and relaxing.

I meant to use this same cam during Pride when riding with the Dykes on Bikes but I forgot my memory card!

This year I'll remember to put the damn card in the cam so I can take a video of this rider's POV during the DoB ride.

That would be awesome Scoobs

I have a friend down in Richland who went with her hubby to Sturgis a few years ago - bought herself a trike. She came up once to be a "dyke for a day" and ride with us during Pride - she would probably love to join a group ride.

The first things that draw my attention to a woman arent what one might think. It's not the sexy outfit, the perfect hair, the legs that go for miles, or even the tits and ass. It's the little things. The parts of a woman that some take for granted and most never see ........

It always starts with the mouth.
The kind of mouth you can stare at for hours
While she tells you about her day,
Or a story from her life experience.
The kind of mouth that draws you in.

Then it moves on to the eyes.
The kind of eyes you can get lost in.
Deep pools of any color
Encompassing the soul behind them.
The kind of eyes that see right through
All of your bullshit.

Finally, it's on to the hands.
The kind of hands that show her strength
Of character.
Feminine and strong, with nails that are painted
Or left untouched.
The kind of hands that tell her life's story.

Before DADT was repealed, I was thinking of working on a spoken word piece about it.
A few minutes ago, I decided to put those thoughts down on paper.

Don’t ask don’t tell
March 7, 2012

Don’t ask me who I am
And I wont show you the real me

Ask me to volunteer
To stand beside my sisters and brothers
In battle
To watch them die
To carry them home
In a box

Ask me to defend your right
To take away my rights
To bash me
To oppress me
To vote against me
To keep me from the ones that I love

Ask me to protect and defend
The Constitution
Of the United States
While you change it
To make sure
I am no longer represented
By it

But don’t ask me who I am
Beneath this uniform
Pinned to these medals

If you don’t ask
I won't tell.

A friend of a friend passed away today ....

Life's crazy - one minute you're playing racquetball and the next, you're lying dead on the court from a massive coronary.

He was a good man, always had a kind word for and to me, and he will be missed by me and the rest of his community here in Seattle.

RIP Charles.
