Must be some hidden context in there somewhere for tdw only. Whilst you set out your position on "truth, justice, and holy Jesus weed for all", it doesn't seem to say much about the PM's you & tdw were discussing.

You are so much like the Cpt, I thought you were him. Only, today whilst he was visiting me, you were responding...
Curious as a cat! I read some things to him you wrote, and he actually agrees with you!! I said See!!

Just make sure the bike is in good shape, ensure you have good rain gear and a big, empty credit card and don't be afraid to take lots of breaks until you find your personal rhythm. You'll be fine. When we were at Rushmore a couple of months back, we met people from Montreal & Nova Scotia that had ridden there on big metric cruisers. They were doing fine & having fun.

Long distance cruising is only a lot of regular rides strung together in a long line. It's probably somewhat like sailboat cruising in the sense that rigid goals & schedules tend to cause most of the problems. Just make sure nothing interferes with it being fun. If you're a day late somewhere, so what?

I do get upset, guess that's the human in me like anyone else. But basically, I love God, and people. And I will always be a seeker of the truth. And the exposer of lies to the best of my ability.
I will always point to Jesus as King of the Universe, and Saviour of Mankind. Love the Cross of Christ.

This, and this alone, makes me bad, and good at the same time.

Brenda,

First you accuse me of being "mean" in PMs I have sent you and then in response to my denial of your accusation you post that blather. Why ? Perhaps because you will not find any evidence to support your claim that I sent you "mean" PMs.

I neither like you nor dislike you, though yes I do think you are crazy. Possibly crazy in a nice way , probably not crazy in a clinically insane way, but still crazy. I admire your stance of legalising dope though I wonder how someone on such a crusade seems to be unable to distinguish between Cannabis and Hemp which are very different critters, albeit from the same original plant species. Reality is they have as much in common as does an Opium Poppy with the Poppy you can find in your local florist.

So there you go, hell yes I laugh at your posted gumph cos that is what it is in the main, a complete and utter load of old tat. Your thread publicising the quite obviously deluded Lindauer woman is an obvious case in point.

The Cpt and I debate and agree and disagree on many things. We disagree on almost everything political, and also about God. (I'm always trying to pursuade him to the truth about God, I have a right cuz I have a relationship with God.)

I love the Cpt. He's my friend. Good hugger.
