In contrast to the obnoxious money grabbing exercise that the Men's World Cup has become, with it's Infantile corruption and fake promises of peace, I invite you to take some time to peruse the Street Child World Cup. For kids that have nothing.

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

Pam Bondi’s portrait was taken down at DOJ and tossed in a trash bin soon after her firing. MS NOW obtained the photo. The move reflects how deeply unpopular she was among career officials. Ken Dilanian & Carol Leonnig scoop www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

The motorcycle industry would have us believe that to ride beyond perfect road surfaces, we need an adventure bike. I was chatting on another thread about the fact that any bike can be an adventure bike, and here's proof from a few years ago.

A belated update on the Guzzi T3 project. I replaced the existing barrels and pistons with new 850cc Gilardioni items from MG Cycle. Everything's back together, though one oil feed banjo decided to break with minimum effort, so new banjos are on order. Meanwhile, I'm starting on the tank and seat.

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.
