    Does no one carpool or bicycle?

    Yes by all means, be safe. I we don't need to see photos of members doing stupid things...

    THe other day ! saw a buzzard grab a crow that was standing on the lane next to mine, less than 1 yard away from my seat. After a short struggle the buzzard flew off with the crow in its claws. I have never before seen a bird of prey actually catch a prey.

    Living in the desert southwest, probably the two funniest things I've seen while driving involves coyotes. The first one, while driving up a slow and winding road, a coyote comes out of the brush, stops in the middle of the road and begins to hunch over. I came to a stop and I swear the thing look me right in the eyes with the thought, "when you got to go..." and proceeded to answer nature's call. When it was done, the coyote wandered back into the bushes. The second one was one of the most mangy and skinny coyotes I've seen, but in its jaws was a big fat hen it had just snatched from a nearby farm. He ate like a king that day.


    As for moronic drivers, I try to keep a safe distance always watchful for the distracted motorist.

    Something else I see all the time that absolutely pisses me off is when people don't yield for funeral processions. We just had a motorcyclist hit and killed by someone in a hurry to turn left before the procession got to him.

    I have not personally eye-witnessed such events but know people who have with the addition of the funeral being that of a motorcyclist! The first few years a motorcyclist begins to think he or she rides with a huge target on his body somehwere but after a while and too many close calls to remember we just begin to chalk it up as part of the experience.
