I was just thinking of a few funny stories of waiting for the ferry to NFLD.   On one trip home, N 84 YEAR old man pulled up next to me on a gold wing with  reverse, and he backed up with his beeper perfectly next to me and I told him if I was still riding at 70 I would be happy.

The next guy to pull up had jsut bought a shadow 750 from a neighbour and hadn't rode in 30 years but he was riding from brampton ONT to nfld, LOL, he said he bought the bike , started it up , then did a cat walk across the neigbours lawn on his way down the street-

ha you meet the nice-est people on a honda.
we both had to race ahead of the storm once we hit the NFLD side

when I went to NL a couple of years ago [driving not riding] I couldn't believe how many bikes made the trip across -- one guy I talked to said "[riding across the province is]  just something you have to do".

maybe another year -- this summer I'm heading west.

I worked for a winter in Newfoundland a few years back.  Wretched cold, lots of snow, drizzle, fog.  But I hear summertime is quite nice with beautiful scenery and nice roads. I could definitely see riding a bike all over that province. Going to have to go back one of these days. Just not in winter, which I hear goes from October to May. :-)

lived in another two-season city a few years back: Winnipeg [also known as Winterpeg]. for those that don't know, the two seasons are winter [obviously] . . . and mosquito.

Place X's all the way across, and if he asks, either tell him it means you're indecisive, or you're moody, or you have OCD and couldn't just put one X somewhere (even in the middle) without it looking uneven. LOL

I have heard that routine before. The comedian also said something like "men are the only creatures on the planet you can ask "what are you thinking" and "nothing" is an accurate answer" There is truly NOTHING going on in the brain other than the brain minimally processing visual information to maintain an image of what the eyes are looking at, but there is no thought, comprehension, or dialogue regarding the image. LOL
 
Subsequently, I have read a discussion online somewhere (don't remember where, link long gone) where a study was actually done to look into this exact difference between men and women. It was found that observing women's brain waves, they actually do not stop thinking at all...there really is no empty box for them....EXCEPT during orgasm! That's right, just after they're done thinking about "getting there" and it's actually happening, they actually get to experience the joy of the nothing box in that moment (or moments, if they're lucky) Fascinating stuff, the human brain.
