Evenin!
~hic~
I am so sorry! Do you still have the freedom to tell em to stick it [delete expletives]?
Good eeeevenin'.... :-)
I was so confoosed! I can legally ride without a helmut here! But, I got that from my former sister-in-law up there. Hence my search on helmut laws. To make sense of the text!
Uh, did you notice that there was text with that email? :-)
Hi there!
He's being obstinate of course... We have more freedom than them Texans that have to take some mamby shmamby training class to be deemed safe to carry a weapon. in public.
This is the Soviet of Washington. Where the Seattle city council votes to openly support hate and terrorist groups, and the Olympia city council votes to refuse a visit by the USS Olympia, a submarine that bears its name. It is also home to the Evergreen State College, where Rachel Corrie is a beloved martyr.
[sigh] This place is *so* in need of a good disinfectant.
Yah, OK... we got that. You gotta have sumthin.
Heh... I ain't taken no class!
Course, I ain't got caught either. yikes!
But gees Louise! I went and read ya'll's helmut laws! Ya'll are downright hateful to bikers!
We got a lot of things.... We get a bad rap because a lot of the free expression 'round here is so deplorable... But I havent heard of a place yet that was as purdy or had better gun law. So tell me.... How can we ask for more?
LOL I'll see what I can do next month! Good grief though, ya'll have such gorgeous territory to ride! I can't imagine being forced to wear headgear to ride there! Terrible waste! Criminal!
I even noticed that the little halfshell that I keep just to conform with most of the nearby states where I have to wear a helmut would not be legal there. Shame that. The worst of it is that you can't *hear* anything with those fuller kind of helmuts and there is no peripheral vision. Truly makes it much more dangerous to ride.
To be able to view the purdy while I ride my bike!
"Free Expression" on the part of government organs doesn't count.
Carry a "Bush/Cheney" sign over to Evergreen and see how free it is. I'm sure they would be "tolerant".
So, what *are* ya'll doin' on the beach house this weekend? Or do you have it all done?
Good night, everyone.
