LITTLE RAWK

This is a little delayed, but on the drive back from Amarillo I made a stop in Little Rock to see Blaine, Lexia, and their dog Brodie.

Without going into any detail, this detour made driving instead of flying worthwhile. Seriously, how could it not when we went to places with names like "Damn Good Pizza" and "Flying Fish Grill".

Below are some pics of my hosts... (Blaine&Lexia). And no, that isn't a sheep I killed in the woods, that is Brodie, an 80 pound labradoodle, and to be honest i'm still not sure if he has eyes.

what a MadAss!

no really, it is called a MadAss

this is a 50cc skooter... it is still a considered a moped by DMV standard and it gets about 85 mpg. Not bad for a MadAss. I dream of having one of these to skoot around town in. Maybe next year.

This is a portrait of my dad taken in Amarillo, TX a couple of weeks ago.

chicago, oh puma bike

Just a couple of days ago I went to visit one of my buddies Larry Hutton who was in Chicago for some job training. They put Larry up in a posh hotel called The W, right on lake shore downtown. The hotel had a couple of nice Puma concept bikes for their guests and we were lucky enough to grab them.

We took a nice little ride from downtown to Wrigley Field and back... I ran into a few celebrities while I was there on the velodrome type track along the lake. Who am I speaking of? well lance of course he trains there in the off season and has a habit of of yelling ON YOUR LEFT!!! ON YOUR LEFT!!! He was a little more than pissed that I was kicking his ass up and down the lake shore on my puma.


CRUSIN' THE PUMA
no, you aren't mistaken... this is art that is why you like it

I was pretending to do tricks on the puma, all i could do was stand there... no really, i am terrified of heights and right after this picture was taken i peed my pants
Larry is a monkey and likes to hold things over his head while his pants are falling down. I had to photoshop out his crack... for the women and children's sake.
Trying not to crash while taking a picture of myself while riding with one hand going 25 miles an hour. hence the look of severe constipation.... i mean concentration. right after this a bus stopped in front of me and four people piled out and hopped on my puma for a ride to wrigley.
we finally made it to wrigley
i have to poop
larry go a hat to replace the one he lost, don't you like the dramatic lighting on the 1914 cubby
back at the hotel... we were chillin and i was so hungry i ate my arm off. After this we went to mike ditka's steak house and had 22 oz. paddle steaks with dennis from jersy... Probably one of the best steaks i have ever had i my life. Thanks larry, for a memorable trip.
