Secret America

Seems there is a new trend, the collection of intelligence on everybody so that we can be watched, categorized, and classified. It is a disturbing trend as people exercising their First Amendment rights are placed on watch lists. This site gives a good view into this secret world. Read it and think of how the government has taken technology and turned it into a weapon against freedom.

This picture was taken from a turn out on SR 74 above Palm Desert. The mountains were approximately 40 miles away.

bike stuff

My new mountain bike on the roof of my Nissan Versa. Got a bit of mud on the tires, and on my sweatshirt and face from the leftovers from the rain.



This is the rear hub, 9 speeds, SRAM derailleurs, and disk brakes.




This is a shot of the front disk caliper.. they stop great even when the wheel is wet.
