Prohibition Today

I find it interesting that America hasn't learned that Prohibition doesn't work.

I heard about this on CNN this morning, the only thing I have to say is that it won't work, it didn't work in the past and it won't work now. Back when Prohibition was in effect, we had bootleggers, mobsters, and such running illegal booze all over the country, very little good came from it, only a lot of strife and problems. Now it seems everybody wants the same for smoking, it's just going to start all over again. People are going to smoke, no matter what the government says, all the government is going to do is create a blackmarket environment for cigarettes. They've already show us that they can't control smoking pot, what makes them think they can control smoking cigarettes which are more generally accepted. I think they should just back off and leave the American people alone, we all know the danger, we all know the health risks, if someone doesnt' want to be around smoke, then they should stay out of areas that are know to have smokers.

Stupid people

I ran over to Smokey's today to pick up lunch for Sweets and me, going down Pine St. there is about a two block stretch that, due to the road construction has been a one way for the last couple of months. Kinda hard to miss all the road signs posted everywhere about it. Anyway, as I'm driving along Pine St. I notice something, a Ford Explorer coming down the road at me, this nut job is driving the wrong way on the road. I think the idiot realized it when I didn't move over into the other lane and I continued to drive straight at him, granted I was keeping an eye on the other lane just in case I had to bale over there. He finally turned off onto one of the side streets. And everybody wonders why I get pissed off when I drive around this town.

Back at it.

Yep, it's been awhile since I've been here. Not much has happened since I was last here either. LOL It's finally gotten decient enough that I can get out in the garage and work, and I've finally gotten enough of Sweet's yard projects done that I can actually do some work in the garage. :) It being Easter weekend I got friday off as well, so I was able to run around all day picking up bits and pieces for some bike projects today. I did a couple of mods to the V-Star and re-sync'ed the carbs, tommorow I'm going to finish up a partial gut to the exhaust pipes that I actually started over a year ago, talk about procrastanation. LOL After I get that done, I'll recheck the sync again and make sure all is good. And just for all of you that think, "OMG, he's making a annoying loud bike." No, I'm not, I'm only removing one of the four baffle plates in the exhaust, according to the guys I've talked to about this, it should give the bike a bit of a rumble, but not be earshattering, all I'm trying to get away from is the sewing maching sound it currently has.

Well, asta for now, and more later.
