In the beginning, men became fed up with walking.
Then they realized that horses left horseshoes, nails, and piles of manure in the roads
Soon, the marvelous elixir of gasoline was concocted, Firestone discovered the method of vulcanizing rubber.... and the birth of the internal combustion engine happened, roughly about the same time, and Voila! Some smart guy put it all together, and the human race began rolling around with engines powering wagons and the horse became obsolete
The automobile was on it's way to changing human culture, art, and transportation.

Jesse, I'm good with words, but cannot express how much I appreciate your blog every day. May you and your blog outlive me.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Kim
Thank you! I may outlive you, but if I do the world will be the worse without you in it going on cross country rides on bikes barely able to make the distance! The blog certainly won't make it as long as I do, I'm certain to stop doing this in the coming years, when I get to working on the two books I'm getting ready to do. When are you going up Pikes Peak?
DeleteThanks for all you do.
ReplyDeleteGet that tip jar up, I'm in...
PS Don't change a friggin' thing!
Checking this blog couple of times became my everyday routine, great pics, great posts. So I raise a toast, for 12 years that have passed and 12 that will come!
ReplyDeleteCongrats. It's certainly entertaining reading your blog. I'll be emailing you for a mailing address soon, I've got some stuff to send you I think you'll like.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

DeleteTwelve years? I'm wearing socks older than that!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, congratulations. Keep 'em coming.
Time to put those in the laundry, don't you agree? 10 years is even too much to keep wearing a pair of socks, please sir, think of the children!
DeleteKidding aside, thank you!
Always a bright spot in my day, Jesse. Thanks for the pleasure you bring.
ReplyDeletethe tip cup is up! Thanks to those who can, and thanks to those who have enjoyed the content of the blog enough to compliment it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Thanks for a great read and compelling photos. I want to say an extra thanks for the SEMA coverage for we who will never get there.
ReplyDeletethank you! And you're welcome! I feel the same way about people who get to Goodwood and do great coverage, as I've got very little chance of getting to England and seeing it myself
DeleteI am a day late, but congrats.
ReplyDeleteyou're not late at all, you're right on time! Thanks!
