Yet more brilliance out of Jefferson City
There's an article in today's edition about what's called "novelty" helmets motorcycle riders are wearing and to their peril:
From the article:
Even as more than 800,000 novelty helmets are sold in the U.S. every year, and as motorcycle crash deaths mount, federal regulators have never acted with urgency to crack down on the popular but flawed headgear. Proposals to limit sales of novelty helmets have been delayed over and over.
So here's an article pointing out the hazards of wearing these cheap, "pretend" helmets and the damage or death they can cause, yet what is the Missouri legislature considering lately?
Brilliant.

New blog (to me) in town
Here it is:
Dodge's Motorcycle Adventures
And he's on YouTube, too:
I was walking into the Quik Trip at I-35 and Lamar today and this guy with a matching motorcycle helmet and jacket was walking out. The jacket and helmt were both bright, bright yellow and that would have made me notice but what really got me was that he clearly had a camera on the side of his helmet.
I went on to the register and made my brief, quick purchase, all the while thinking about this guy with a camera on the side of his head. I'd kept my eye on him and saw he was still in the parking lot. I had to go ask him about it.
In a short conversation, he told me he liked to videotape his rides and did it frequently. He also told me he had a blog--that mentioned above--he also had, as well as his videos on YouTube.
I had to check it out.
