I’ll be getting back to posting on NOITV more consistently once I get some technical issues taken care of with that, which will happen this week. There are also other types of projects that are away from the computer that I’m working on too.
I just saw this article that says Biden flew 33,000 migrants into NYC and 326,000 into Florida! The article mentions the fact that the Texas governor Gregg Abbot was previously doing to same thing, and I remember some conservatives were ridiculous saying at the time, “That’ll teach those liberals!”— as if they thought it won’t eventually effect them also.
The fasting is going well, I’m more than halfway through it. I’m drinking coffee though which is actually not really appropriate for fasting.
I mentioned recently that I haven’t really experienced any hostility, but a few times people have somewhat swerved at me with cars— not actually to hit me but to apparently try to give me a “scare” or something. It happened once when I was on my bike some months ago, but it also happened yesterday when I was on my motorcycle, and I “grabbed the brakes” and I almost toppled which would have been horrible. I was going in the 30’s and I would have been very injured. Apparently he wanted to scare me or he thought it would be a funny joke or something, but he probably didn’t realize the danger of doing that, especially because I don’t have ABS brakes so if you brake too abruptly the motorcycle will tumble onto the pavement. I want to get a motorcycle that has such brakes, especially because there is a bit of a heightened danger in my case.
At least it was interesting to experience what happens when I grab the brakes at such as speed. I did grab them pretty abruptly and I didn’t topple, however the front wheel “skipped” on the pavement once, meaning I was close to that happening.
Some months ago was was riding through an almost empty parking lot at a slow speed in the evening and I was being rather reckless by not riding in the lanes, and suddenly I found myself in front of a car that was coming down a lane, where I grabbed the brakes which caused the motorcycle to topple over landing on top of me. I wasn’t really injured but I was scraped up.
In a related matter, I should warn people not to ride bikes down the wrong side of the street because traffic isn’t looking in your direction when they pull out. I was almost creamed by a car once because of that a few months ago and I was lucky that I just made it past the car as it pulled out. It came to a rolling stop and it quickly accelerated to make sure it got out before an oncoming car was too close. It missed me by only inches. I also saw that almost happen to someone who was coming down street toward me.
I’m going to get a GoPro camera soon also, so I can record my rides for safety but also for fun.
