Nashville, TN – This year, more than ever, families are likely eager to bring some holiday cheer to their lives. This could mean shopping (and doing so early) for a real Christmas tree.

Real Christmas trees can become dangerous projectiles if not properly secured. (AAA)

National Christmas Tree’s rich History
US Capitol Christmas Tree and Other Forerunners to the National (Community) Christmas Tree
Washington, D.C. – The first community Christmas celebration in Washington, D.C. was on December 24th, 1913. The Christmas tree and related pageantry occurred on the East Plaza of the US Capitol on Christmas Eve. It was meant as a celebration for all of Washington, rich and poor, young and old, although a special emphasis was placed on the children.1
The forty-five minute program, replete with angel figures in white robes, nativity tableaux, carols, and Boy Scouts waving American flags, was modeled largely on community celebrations in other cities.

Dodging the Roadkill: Awareness
Clarksville, TN – Bikers spend hundreds and THOUSANDS of dollars making sure they’re seen AND heard. We realize that it’s important to “stand tall” in traffic because, well, motorists are just TOO DAMNED DISTRACTED!. It’s a problem that I think is getting worse with no prospects of getting better.
Now, I hate to be so pessimistic, but I’ve put a lot of miles on the road over these last three and a half years, and I see a LOT of strange stuff going on behind the wheel of a car. It’s frustrating and damn right criminal!
I’ve taken all of the safety courses, I’ve bought all of the gear, and I’m as responsible as it gets, so I’ve done my part.
May is Motorcycle Awareness Month

I never expected to make so many new friends through this blog and all while traveling on the back of a motorcycle. I’ve heard some incredible stories, and learned some valuable lessons from all of you and I thank you!
