It was defnly a Tintin and Snowy vibe kind of day for the ride today.
I wish that I could bring Ruffers on the motorcycle rides with me… maybe someday when he gets a bit older and some of the rascalliness wears off a bit

Hey Atlanta & GA, did you know that George Washington Carver Park at Lake Allatoona was established in 1950 as the first “Georgia State Park for Negroes.” Apparently it was quite popular, lots of history. It is still open to the public and managed by Bartow County.
Today I observed Juneteenth by riding up there. I was disappointed, but not surprised, to find the gate closed. This place should be hopping on days like today.

Cobb Chamber will host a fireside chat between police chiefs Jesse Evans of the Acworth PD and Bill Westenberger of the Kennesaw PD #Acworth #Kennesaw #CobbChamber https://cobbcountycourier.com/2023/06/police-chiefs-of-acworth-and-kennesaw-to-hold-fireside-chat-at-cobb-chamber-event/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

1/ Stoked to see that both #Kennesaw & #Acworth are having Juneteenth celebrations today at times that don’t overlap meaning that I can hit up both because I am literally equidistant from both locations that make for pleasant #motorcycle excursions.
But it’s telling, I think, to see that Kennesaw’s event is midday noon hosted by the Police Citizens Advisory Board (whatever the heck that is?) while Acworth’s is at 6pm evening into the night hosted by the city’s Parks and Rec dept

I found a sweet ridge road between Acworth and Canton for the motorcycle and now having lunch at the aptly named Bizarre Coffee cafe. Old town Canton is quite photogenic

Oh she didn’t but she’s all about blissfully loving all animals both cute and dangerous.
Here’s a small snake she found at our front door last year. She said it was not venomous… I personally have no idea but would figure its fangs would be too small if it was. We live in the southeastern United States

Well this was super cool. Walking Ruffers this evening as the sun was setting I heard a bunch of geese squawking over a green space creek next to a neighbor’s house and was surprised to see it was actually a ginormous and majestic flying formation of them coming in from the south and then they flew directly over us heading dead nuts due north! There was probably a hundred of them :mindblown:

I think my new hobby is finding photogenic spots for my motorcycle like this old vintage Texaco sign just outside of old town Acworth.

Well I think the sunset forecast was a bust tonight because I’ve seen prettier sunsets. But it was still a beautiful evening, and the light was good for snapping pics of the bike by the lake at Red Top Mountain State Park

Woot! I finally got out on the bike for a short ride today after a 6+ month hiatus recovering from a broken shoulder.
Here’s some obligatory how-it-started and how-it’s-going pics

While chaos ensued down in Brasilia this afternoon, I made a quick trip to my local big box hardware store and was surprised to see this row of gas powered minibikes for sale with a few electric ebikes in the mix too.
The minibikes have fake plastic gas tanks that are storage compartment had me thinking that they would be so much cooler if they were electric tho

Note to self: after paying attention to the Speaker of the House chaos for the first time last night, I gotta start calling my Representative and Senators on a regular basis.

The goal is to call at least once per month, but ideally, weekly.
The best resource for this is https://5calls.org/

Easiest way is to call at night or weekends and just leave a voicemail to avoid awkwardness of speaking to an actual human clerk 🥲

We got out after the rain in the early evening and got to see the fog forming over the lake at twilight.
It was pretty magical and a great way to kick off New Year’s Eve

@larryfeltonj no worries! Yea Acworth is really small and not very newsworthy. Although their downtown revitalization and focus on the “other side of the tracks” has been really good over the past few years. I’m thinking tax money well spent.
I like riding the longboard with Ruffers at Logan Farm Park in #Acworth
