Indeed... :laugh: :grin: :wink:

No white Christmas in Vortex-Land this year...mild temperatures throughout the Verde Valley and Yavapai County...so more riding sooner rather than later! :thumb: :cool: :smiley:

 Might have been electric but it looked like steam punk.

Hi everyone...and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!!

My poor Vision...(aka, "Moby Dick - The Great White Whale")...verbally abused...often made fun of...and now extinct! :laugh: :grin: :wink: Oh well...she's a highway cruiser, however! :wink:

Not much going on in Vortex-Land!  No white Christmas this year again, 2nd year in a row, and the weather is mild... (60's during the day, 40's at night) :cool:  Good for riding, though! :wink:

Looking forward to the 2019 riding season...would like to branch out and do some different rides / rallies this year (?) :thumb: :smiley:

 Nowhere in the book does it say that Moby Dick was dead.  He just lives on with many harpoons stuck in him.  Most of them from before the Peaquod attacked him.
 I Quote the last line of the book.
 "Now small fowls flew screaming over the yet yawning gulf; a sullen white surf beat against it's
steep sides; then all collapsed, and thereat shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled  five thousand years ago."
