Bill’s daughter-in-law ran in the Baltimore Marathon on October 10th, she signed up for the half marathon which is 13 miles. Normally that would be no big deal because she’s in great shape and has been practicing every Saturday running 10 miles, but the kicker here is she’s 5 months pregnant. They had one fatality, a young man 23 collapsed around the 25 mile mark and later died, that’s the second death in the history of the 9 year Baltimore Marathon races.

I love Ethan’s face in the photo below, he hates the camera just like his Nana, but at least we got one of him on the trike because he wasn’t here when we took the one above. Look at that face it cracked me up.
My spam comments seem to go through phases. I always receive the half page ones with a gazillion links along with the usual drug and sex ones and for a couple of months I was receiving the words of wisdom ones. Now I’m getting the ones asking for my help on certain things that are just weird plus they tell me they are looking for something and then leave the link to the thing they are looking for. My blog may sound like a stupid person is behind it, but I’m not that gullible.
I’m also getting the ones that praise my blog and myself highly over diddly squat and they are actually making me crack a smile like the comment that was left when I posted the weird painted house with one paragraph. comment: “Wow, what a lengthy and in depth article but full of useful information.” now that was funny. Plus the spammers that act like my blog is a forum, introducing themselves and leaving un-pertinent information that means nothing to anyone.
Finally my spam comments have come to the following one line jokes with a link of course to something they are pushing:
1.Wanna joke?) Where does a bird go when it loses its tail? The retail store.
2.Why is a square meal served on round plates?
3.Wanna very nice joke?)) What’s green and red and goes 1000 miles an hour? A frog in a blender.
4.Wanna joke?) How do they put out fires at the post office? They stamp them out.
5.Wanna very nice joke?)) What did the sailor say when he saw a boat loaded with ewes? Sheep ahoy!
6.I have a nice joke for you people! 
Did you hear about the butcher who accidentally backed into the meat grinder? He got a little behind in his work.
I can hardly wait to see what I get next week. Have a great Sunday night see you on Monday.
As far as I know the following are the states that have a full helmet law, meaning everyone must wear one. So if your traveling by motorcycle and you’re use to not wearing a helmet in your state make sure you are wearing one in any of the following: Alabama, California, DC, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia.
Of course like everything else the above list is subject to change so most people to be on the safe side always wear their helmets. There are pros and cons that many people argue over when it comes to the individual having the right to choose for themselves. I personally hate helmets they give me a headache and I was glad when PA passed the no helmet law for people over the age of 20. Of course I have people preach at me all the time, but they are just wasting their breath, for now it’s my choice.
Over the years I’ve seen many accidents involving motorcycles and some were wearing helmets and some weren’t, I’ve seen them die with and without. My Son always referred to a helmet as a bucket to carry your head in which sounds gross, but that’s the way many riders feel. As far as I know there are 3 states that have no law what so ever for any age and those are: Iowa, Illinois, and New Hampshire. I’m sure everyone has their own idea about these helmet laws, but personally I like having the choice to decide for myself however if I had a young child I might rethink my choice.
I get so use to seeing things that I don’t see them any more especially if I live around them and see them all the time, but when I go somewhere else then things tend to pop out more. Recently I started paying more attention to signs and emblems or objects that companies use to set their businesses apart and identify with them.
Below are 3 such places around our area and I’m sure you guys have many unique businesses that do the same. We’re all familiar with the Golden Arches of McDonald’s or Shoney’s Big Boy and I know there’s many others, thanks for stopping and sharing.
San Carlos “The Hop”
That old car sits on top of the patio-deck bar built onto San Carlos which is like an old barn, it’s a restaurant and nightclub. We use to refer to it as the “meat market” because the clientele sat around drinking and it was like they were all waiting to pounce on fresh meat that walked through the door.
A group of us would go over after work on the weekends to dance and it was kind of creepy, the decor is 50′s and 60′s and cool though. They use to have like half a car that looked like it was protruding from the building until they built on. The only time we stop by there any more is when they have motorcycle events.
That Fish Place
Above is the pet store we like to frequent and it’s really neat, they have everything. I love that place they have a really great fish aquarium and pond and it’s fun to check out the reptiles and all the pet goodies they stock.
York Barbell
That big guy up there is huge and revolves above the York Barbell business. You can see him right off I-83, I remember years ago when they were located in the city of York my girlfriends and I use to hang around outside and ogle all those muscle guys wow what fun, didn’t take much to make us happy way back then. Have a great weekend.
