What an handsome beast. BMW sure pulled the stops for the r9t. I believe it was used in one of the Mission Impossible movies?

Reagan must be spinning like a top in his coffin

Not just the low vaccination rate, but also high median age plus cultural resistance to vaccines. And they rely heavily on public transport, which can be very crowded. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/26/asia/japan-covid-vaccination-program-intl-hnk-dst/index.html It is true the number of cases in...

Bought a Honda 250 2 years ago and was all gung ho about learning BUT lost my nerve. So now I have to sell it. Don't google search motorcycle deglove - it's nightmare fuel.

Meet Lola!

Long haul truck driver might be your ticket - spend lots of time alone, drive from point A to point B, paid decently. Advantages: view changes all the time.

The problem of populations living in wildfire prone towns may eventually solve itself through the free market - a lot of insurers may just decide not to sell any insurance in those towns since the risk of loss may be too high. If people can't get insured, then they can't renew their mortgage. Or...
