So, I would have been approaching the Arch from the north. I loved the way the sun light was hitting the Arch and got lucky.<br /><br />By the way, I never miss a post on your blog. I seldom comment. But I'm always there. <br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-38159377236996931542011-08-08T16:21:22.042-05:002011-08-08T16:21:22.042-05:00Keith, I love your masthead picture.

We were in Seattle just a couple of weeks ago, and got lost on our way to a friend's place. We found a courier on a dual sport and asked directions at a stop light. No sooner was that conversation over than at the next stoplight did another guy pull up next to us on an 1150 BMW and chat us up. He offered to drive us through town to the neighborhood we were looking for. <br /><br />Brady<br />Behind Bars - Motorcycles and Life<br />http://www.behindbarsmotorcycle.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424120592303852860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-57420620477030002352011-08-04T19:12:12.832-05:002011-08-04T19:12:12.832-05:00Lori,

It was tied together as a "Tour." I definitely have this on my radar. <br /><br />By the way, I really liked the "Swimmers" series.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-50195902977079634092011-08-02T22:38:34.737-05:002011-08-02T22:38:34.737-05:00Great post.

Have you thought of setting up a grid, using your bike and a map, and meeting all of the artists with galleries within a certain area of St. Louis? It might make an interestig article for either a motorcycle magazine, or the art section of your local paper.<br /><br />I went to Catol Carter's site and took my time looking at her paintings.<br />Some were rather soothing, and others had a way of takimg me to "someplace else." <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-34511934117828074542011-08-02T21:03:42.713-05:002011-08-02T21:03:42.713-05:00bob,

I've not skated yet. I've recovered enough, but I'm still replacing my gear. I've a new helmet and new skates. I'm waiting on the knee guards and elbow pads. The wrist guards held up okay. While I came out great, my gear didn't. I guess that is the way it is supposed to work. I wasn't surprised when I went back to work at the number of people who assumed I was on my bike when I got hit. Sadly, I think a few of them were disappointed I wasn't. No surprise -- here are some who think I shouldn't be riding.<br /><br />Again, that's for the comment.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-57629077303654026552011-08-02T20:49:53.721-05:002011-08-02T20:49:53.721-05:00Trobairitz,

Most given the choice seem to lean toward warm. That said, today it was dangerously warm. I was grateful to have the "Cool Vest" to wear.

There is a participation with my surroundings that I can seem to find when I'm driving a car. With this in mind I'm trying to learn to drive a car all over again. I'm suspecting there is too much history to undo, but I'm trying none-the-less.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-87155471855807244462011-08-02T20:41:55.656-05:002011-08-02T20:41:55.656-05:00bluekat,
