I've been on other forums, either motorcycle related, or drumming, etc... And what always amazes me is... everyone here look up the real names of posters, not just their handle (avatar) and reply in a personal way. In my time on the net, this is the only place it has been so. This is what makes a family of people sharing to what they think are close friends. And it is why I love ba.com so much. Thank you all for being family... well, you know.. like that weird uncle every family has!  Truly, ba.com forever! My sincere thanks to all of you. Group hug!

Sometimes we're dysfunctional like a real family.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I remember when the first time someone did that to me (not sure who, but it might have been Dwight), it really made me feel like I belonged

Hmmm... that's be great but...
Well, we are all staying close together lately around here because in the last 7 days, we've had:
- half of the island under floods from heavy rain.
- over 30 earthquakes (ranging from 3 to 5.5) in 24 hours
- 2 typhoons (hurricanes)
Nature's been busy around here lately (trying to tell us something?)

Guess we go for a virtual hug then - always best to leave Mother alone when she is upset.

Ha! Of course you're welcome to drop by!
But I don't get a lot of visitors around here... maybe because I'm a bit farther away then most family members!
Too bad, 'cos there's some really nice spots on this island.
Check out my buddies' website for some nice pics of around here:

Yup, this place IS family. I've been on the road for a week now and each day I check in to see how everyone's doing. I am very grateful for being a part of ba.com... and I sure miss our brother.
Live to love, love to live.
