Progress?
We've waited and waited, getting a glimpse of it here and there only to have it
dashed by snow and ice but I think it's finally arrived... I'm talkin' 'bout
SPRING, TA-DA, It's here!! "Get your motor runnin', Head out on the highway,
Lookin' for Adventure, and Whatever comes our way! I'm sumthun, sumthun, sumthun,
Take the world in a Love Embrace, Fire all of your Guns at once an' Explode into
Space, You're a True Natures Child, You were BORN, BORN TO BE WILD!!!!"
RRUUMMM,RRUUMMM!! Take that watch and throw it away. Yeah right, Like I said I'm
sooo old school, I'm pre-school, Somehow a biker and a cell phone just don't
seem to go together in my book. Although I too have been seduced and corrupted
into always having one within arms reach, GOD what has happened to me, have I
turned into what I most despised...A YUPPIE BIKER!!! SHOOT ME NOW!!! Next thing
you know I'll be wearing new designer leathers, having the Harley shop put on my
"Live to Ride" mirrors, derby and points covers, etc. @ $90. per hour shop time,
and then hauling my Full dress bagger with stereo and GPS to Sturgis behind my
motorhome. The Freedom of throwing caution to the wind, accepting anything that
comes to us in this adventure of the open road, be it the weather, breakdowns,
accidents, blood, and death and not caring because if that's the price I must
pay so be it. FREEDOM ISN'T FREE, it comes with a cost. Just you and your
scooter, alone, wow, now that's freedom. The more baggage we have the less free
we are. We create our own prisons in our plush, comfortable, expensive, cells.
Look at Nature's creations, the birds, animals, the creatures of the oceans,
they don't carry a bunch of stuff with them to survive and aren't we allegedly
one of those creatures also? We are the only one's that need [or so we were led
to believe] MONEY to survive. Let's look at our needs, really; First off, what
we can't be without for more than a few minutes, is air. Ta-Da it's free!
Secondly, what we can't live without for more than a few days, is water. Ta-Do,
it's free too, falls out of the sky on us! Thirdly, what we can't live without
for more than a few months is food, Ta-De, it's all around us like a tree. We
have flat teeth in back for chewing the bark off and fangs for eating the
squirrel that lives in it. So our actual needs are taken care of naturally
[anybody notice what that word is made from "nature"]. It's this society and
it's spokesperson named television telling us "You NEED a new car, a BIGGER
house, a SEXY,GORGEOUS mate, etc." HORSECRAP I say!! Seems like they are
continually weaving us thicker and thicker into the web of debt. The more you
are into it the more you are saying "Bye, Bye" to freedom. I'm as guilty as the
next. I try to say "Live for Today, 'cause that's all we ever got", but an old
boy reminded me one time by asking "You buy more than one roll of toilet paper
at a time don't you?" Ya got me on that one. I sure don't got the answers, just
observations. Oh well at least we are striving for freedom more than most so you
got to give us credit for that, and that kind of credit is FREE!!!
I finally got some Zzen news to report, HALLEYUYUH!! They tracked me down [well
actually they called that Freebird goomer's wife and she relayed the message,
she's a pretty good gal, smart, attractive, he's a lucky son of a gun] and gave
me sumthun' to say about the chapter, go figure. Here we go; John reported the
State Rep minutes, also John "Slack" Addy is the State ABATE historian so if you
have any interesting tidbits about our history of freedom fighting in this state
contact him. The Meeting of the Minds is Sept. 24-27 in Bloomington, MN. A Zzen
member suggested we take a bus and doing the Rennasance Festival on the way
back, that would be fun, let me get my armour and broadsword and kick some butt!
50/50 was won by Ed Barr, SOL of $35. went to Patrick O'Sullivan [Luck 'O the
Irish] but he wasn't there [not so Luck 'O the Irish (potato famin)], next SOL
will be 54 bucks [were talkin' sum big money now, boy]. No May meeting, Whew,
I'm getting tired of havin' to go to all these meetings! Next official assembly
of us dregs of society is June 6th, at The Backwoods Bar in Marion [you know, Ed
and Dea's place, they're good people too] @ 1:00 pm. We want to thank all the
buisnesses that did the Ham boards for us, and all those who bought squares to
help us raise some dough for our chapter. Congratulations to the winners, enjoy
your meat! Wow, I'm glad to have some acual ABATE news to convey for a change.
Till next time, HOOTIE-HOOT!!! Wiz
