This is supposed to be for any original work I go, but it is the default category so plenty of items will have this category mis-applied to them.
I want to start my own little column. Part movie review, part film history, and part stroll down memory lane. The "Chopper Opera" — a slang term for the straight-to-the-drive-in-movies that define the exploitation film genre — is probably my favorite sub-genre. While it is defined by hits like "The Wild One" and "Easy Rider," … Continue reading Biker B Movies: Masters of Menace
Updates on the last week of battle against the motorcycle maintenance gods, and a look forward at the next few weeks.

The final Canadian leg of this year's journey had trees attacking, power failures, fires, and yet a serenity instead of calamity. Stay calm and carry on: Road Trip 2024 continues...
"The historical cycle seems to be: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to apathy; from apathy to dependency; and from dependency back to bondage once more."
