That's a cool shot Cal. I can't believe how clean that curb is. You must live in a nice area.

The parking lot is older, but the train was moved there during the last year or so. At one time I believe that they were restoring this for use. It appears now that it is just going to sit here now and not be used.

This is our version of Old Glory. This gigantic flag flies over Surrey, BC, and gets changed periodically. I once saw it flying at half mast when Princess Diana died.

Thats a boat?

God bless you guys but you need to chip in to get a new flag.

You're totally correct. I didn't even think about it; "half mast" is a hangover from Navy cadets.

It's really rare that it gets that bad before it's changed. It once became detached from the pole and landed on my buddy's windshield. It covered the whole car.

Is it me or is that building leaning?

I think it's an optical illustration.

Canada leans to the left. The building is straight.

Not to one up ya, but.....

November of last year on my 95 F150. At 357,000 miles now. I had Mrs. Cheesy take the pic while I was driving.

SpudRider · 12-03-2010, 10:05 PM

That's a lot of miles, Cheesy!

In early October, I rode my Zong on a two-day trip to Montana. I will soon be posting photographs from this trip in the Ride Reports Forum.

While riding home, approaching Howe, Idaho, I swerved to avoid a low-flying object crossing the road in front of me! Taking advantage of the Zongâ€™s dual sport capabilities, I rode into the brush and avoided a crash. 8O The pilot on the broomstick was not so fortunate. :twisted:

Final Score: Zong 1 â€“ Witch 0. :P
