Thursday's suggestion started as a press event of sorts.

It ended up as a ride for Tiffany and photographer Arnell Hamilton too!

In our month-long series that prevents me from buying gasoline, I had an offer I couldn't refuse.

Bikers from the Patriot Guard Riders, HOG, Shriners, Marine Corps League and Southern Cruisers, to name a few, were headed to Memphis, Tennessee.

One of the bikers sent me an email and thought we could incorporate their ride into mine!

Day 10 of Putting It In Park is riding Harley Davidsons to work.

Dale Hewitt is the ride captain. "We're going there to deliver an 18-thousand dollar check to the St. Jude's Children Hospital. We stop in Hattiesburg. We stop in Jackson and we stop North of Jackson. We usually stop about every 100 miles. It's not for gas purposes, it's for old butt purposes."

These Harley riders say they get about 45-50 miles to a gallon depending on how fast they ride.

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin’ with the wind
And the feelin’ that I’m under
Yeah Darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
—
Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
—
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

I think I like the Picasso on crack look better, Say do you suppose that accounts for a lot of his paintings ?

I know when a skinny woman has a small bird tattoo and she gains a lot of weight it turns into a condor trying to rip the heart out of some guy, but I never gave much thought to the opposite. Would the tattoo shrink into a freckle, or would it look like Picasso on crack? :GRIN:

Well it would depend on what the tattoo was. If it was a large bird it would look like the bird was flying when she walked.

Ever wonder what happens if a large woman gets a tattoo and then loses a whole lot of weight? Sorry for the O/T. Just one of those things I think about from time to time….... lol
