Gramps Gets A Gift

A lot of my co-workers have been having a lot of fun over the last two weeks calling me "Gramps" since the birth of my first granddaughter. Well, it seems as though some of my suppliers can't resist giving me a little ribbing as well. I received the "No Parking" sign in the mail today from one of them. He thought it was pretty funny. I told him that I would display the sign proudly in my garage.

Biker Baby

As some of you already know, I became a Grandpa this week. So, I just wanted to introduce my internet family to my new granddaughter, Jazmine. She was born on February 10th at 10:23 AM. She and mom are doing well and I'm looking forward to making the trip to visit as soon as I can.

Nude Biker Leads Trooper On Chase

SEARCY, Ark. (AP) — A naked man on a motorcycle who crashed with an Arkansas state trooper's cruiser on a night when it was sleeting faces misdemeanor charges. A police report said a 35-year-old man kept riding when a trooper tried to pull him over during the Jan. 26 incident.

The man stopped abruptly several times in the street and then sped up quickly, until the trooper bumped him on one of the stops.

The report didn't indicate any injuries but both vehicles were damaged.

A witness quoted in the police report said the man was "naked as a jaybird."

Searcy police cited the man for indecent exposure, fleeing and not having a vehicle license. State police are still investigating.

Harley Hits Million Mark

Despite all the recent financial problems, Harley-Davidson still had a reason to celebrate as their one millionth motorcycle rolled off the line at their Kansas City plant. The bike garnering all the attention was a Red Hot Sunglo Sportster 883L. Probably fitting since the Sportster was the bike that saved Harley's backside when sales were at an all-time low and the company needed an affordable bike to appeal to a wider customer base.
