RW> That's what I thought Texas would be like, but it wasn't. I was so used   
   RW> to   
   RW> the very strict dmv rules in California, being in Texas was like being   
   RW> given your freedom after 39 years of living in a dictatorship.   
      
   It is reassuring to know there are states that still have freedoms left.   
   Maryland is rapidly turning into California, but I still hold out hope for   
   better days ahead.   
      
   Myself and others that have stayed here to fight, will help reverse the damage   
   one day.  At least that is my wishful thinking.    
   RW> I make it a point to look out for the bikers. They're unseen by most   
   RW> motorists.   
      
   Same with me.  Since we have had next to no snow this winter, I'm ready for   
   spring to start riding again.   
      
   RW> That's what it's like here too. The difference is that we know there's a   
   RW> dead somthing on the side of the road by the presence of vultures flying   
   RW> over head. If it's a squirrel, there may be one or two, but a deer calls   
   RW> for 5 to 10 vultures.   
      
   We have vultures, but they live in Annapolis and Washington D.C.  :)   
      
   RW> We had one other person from the town where I live; he wanted to ride   
   RW> with   
   RW> me and a friend of mine, but I never heard from him after the class   
   RW> ended.   
      
   I used to ride with a group of friends, but it is tough to get our schedules   
   together these days.
