Mushrooms to Motorcycles
http://rogersgeorge.blogspot.com
This is a collection of essays about many topics, mainly related in some way to my activities and hobbies. It includes book reviews, motorcycle-event-related items, occasional links to interesting sites, photography (particularly of mushrooms), stuff about our geese and our two acres, progress reports on the addition to our house, and anything else I find interesting. Think of the Andy Griffith show theme as its background music. One person said the blog was "disturbingly fascinating."

A Scam I Am
Recently I put two ads on Craigslist DE. I'm offering some furniture for sale. So far the only responses I've gotten are scam artists. One fellow, "Alvin Brown," sent identical messages regarding my two ads:Still available ? Lovely picture...If it st...
Of clothes dryer and hornets

The East end of Town
I've lived in Newark for longer than a decade. I like the town; Main street is collegey, reminding me of Dinkytown near the U of MN. I've walked from one end to the other several times over the years, and visited practically every store. But I never...
My hobby turns creepy
Sigh. Back to normal life. No more long-distance bike rides. Unless I land a job in some exotic location such as Chicago. (Phone interview tomorrow.) Besides, I'm about to do a carb rebuild. All those miles of gasohol seem to have made the carbs rath...
