It’s so common these days for people to say they’ve never seen a clear, bright starry night. Never seen the Milky Way, a shooting star, a vast black canvas lit up by billions of stars. How sad is that? Over-population of cities and light pollution make it next to impossible for many people to see […]
They say riding a motorcycle is one of the most exhilarating experiences a person can have.
