So tonight I went to the video store after my lungs were influenced by the box on the coffee table. As I came in I made some quick small talk with my regular guy at the counter and then I really settled into the $2.00 vhs for sale section. As the titles all started to blur together a warn and faded copy of "On Golden Pond" jumped out at me in perfect focus. About half way through the printed plot a couple of rambunctious young twenty somethings came in with all sorts of volume and an episode of the look at me show.
Now I believe that the video store is like the library, soft whispers and no sudden movements. I stood there stewing with a blank page in front of me until the two knuckleheads agreed on a movie. Batman, the original. Are you fucking serious, "Batman, of all the movies you picked fucking Batman, the original". Anyhow they left and Jane Fonda looks fantastic on a swim raft, but I just felt that I needed to air my opinion on what I believe is proper video store etiquette. I understand that their are lots of acquaintance run-ins and "hey, whats up man" moments but you don't need to echo your stories of "man, did I tell you what happened that night I ran into you", cause I really don't give two shits. Please people, use your god given right of human respect and general intelligence when you are in your local video store, if not for me do it for Henry and Jane Fonda as they struggle to connect and rekindle their lost father daughter relationship.
and Lions in 3D rule.
I didn’t think about you once in the UP cause I think you’d hate it up there. The roads have long and perfect curves, the sun does that flickering thing behind the soldier pines in the evening when you’re driving by, it smells like the crisp and wet flora and fauna only Michigan has, it’s full of super interesting people and it’s right next to Lake Superior. Basically everything you can’t stand. Anyway, right at the trail head out to little presque isle, I saw this map. There is also a “Freedom” gas station and food mart in town. 
Free Beer for all!

Mike D over at the Born Loser and Grant with The Shame of it all are putting together a real neat event in Southern California. Tons of prizes and good bikes along with food and fun drinks. We're gonna do our best to get their and we hope to see you all. September is filling up quick with a ton of goodness. Davenport, Secret mission, NYC Dice party and the Brooklyn Invitational and now the Born Free event. Coast to coast. Lets hope for an Indian Summer.
But Louis L'amour novels are real nice in the fall. It has been feeling like October here all week. Highs of 65 degrees with a firm breeze, the motors are loving it but it's too soon to be bundling up for a ride. Gonna be some cold nights in the Upper Penninsula!
EDR was very much fun. I went two times. You guys have a very nice party in Mexico. Sometimes I remember how much fun it was. Mr. Biltwell can we please go again. Thank you very much.
