  1. I agree with your comments. I just remember when I took my beginners riding course many years ago, the instructor was an older gentleman probably about as old as I am now. He said that he had been riding for about 50 years and had never had an accident. He said that all accidents were preventable as long as you watch out for yourself. I understand that all accidents are preventable if EVERYBODY does their part but that's not what he said. Sometimes you can do everything right and still be involved in an accident. Hey, that's just the way life is. We can only do all that we can and hope for the best. I've read a number of stories where people were sitting in their living room or sleeping in their bed when a car crashed through their house or even an airplane crashed into their house. Not ALL accidents are preventable by YOU or me.
  2. That is what I'm always told. I've taken several safety courses for the beginners motorcycle course, advanced riders course, and a couple of company managed courses when I worked for companies and was provided company cars. Every one of then have stated that "all accidents are preventable". I've always called BS on that. I've had a couple of accidents, in cars, that I see no way that I could have prevented. Here is a video of a motorcycle accident that I honestly don't see how it could have been prevented. Sorry, I suppose that those of you who do not have a Facebook account won't be able to see it. The fact is, not all accidents are preventable short of staying home in bed and wrapped in bubble wrap. Even then, things could happen. https://www.facebook.com/reel/872221967477962?mibextid=0NULKw&fs=e&s=TIeQ9V

  10. OK....watched both those videos and found them very interesting. I am far from a conspiracy theorist but I also believe that there is a lot out there that most of us don't know about. I will have to watch more of his videos. At the very least, they are entertaining.

  17. Naw, we will likely stay around here. I kind of like it here and my wife is from here. Winters get old but they aren't that bad and summers are great. No hurricanes and very few tornados. No flooding problems where I live. So.....not likely to move very far,.
  18. Eileen and I have lived in this house for almost 25 years. We love it here but as we get older, it is a lot to take care of. Therefore, we have started thinking about downsizing and buying a smaller place. Mainly a MUCH smaller yard. We knew that this day would likely come but really had no plans to do it anytime soon. Probably won't do anything until at least the spring or summer but I think the time has come. We are going to start looking around a bit to see what is available in the price range that we plan to be in. It will be hard to leave though.
