PEOPLE--CT WOMEN LOOKING FOR A CURE

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH AND NONE CAN BRING THIS AWARENESS TO THE FOREFRONT AS DRAMATICALLY AND AS COLORFULLY AS THE MOTORCYCLE CLUB I HOOKED UP WITH ON SUNDAY OCT 23..


 I RODE DOWN TO NORTH HAVEN TO MEET UP WITH THE 'CONNECTICUT WOMEN LOOKING FOR A CURE' MOTORCYCLE CLUB..AT THE CLUB HOUSE PINK WIGS WERE PASSED OUT BEFORE A LONG LINE OF MOTORCYCLES LEFT ON WHAT WAS TO BE A  RIDE DOWN ONE OF THE MAIN STREETS IN NORTH HAVEN..A GOOD FUN RIDE, WELL THOUGHT OUT WITH ROAD GUARDS AND REAR GUARD CARS..


BACK AT THE CLUB HOUSE CHICKEN AND BURGERS WERE BEING DONE UP ON THE GRILL, (GOOD JOB ANNIE) WHILE INSIDE CLUB MEMBERS AND GUESTS HELPED THEMSELVES TO A BUFFET STYLE CHOW LINE..I HAD A GREAT TIME CHECKING OUT THE BIKES AND MEETING NEW PEOPLE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME KNOWING THAT ALL WAS FOR A GREAT CAUSE..

 WANTED TO GET A GROUP PHOTO OF THE 42 CLUB MEMBERS, BUT WITH ALL THE STUFF GOING ON I REALIZED THAT IT WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN..AND THEN WHEN THE BALLOON RELEASE HAPPENED, I WAS TAKING PHOTOS OF THE BEAUTIFUL 'FLAMING HARLEY' PICTURED BELOW (HAD TO SHOW YOU THIS BIKE)..AWESOME PAINT JOB,, INCREDIBLE TO SEE IN PERSON...

WITH ALL THE GOOD TIMES THAT WERE GOING ON I FORGOT THAT I DIDN'T MAKE A DONATION..HONEST MISTAKE.. DEBBIE,  ANNIE OR MONICA, SOMEBODY CALL ME AND I'LL MAKE IT RIGHT..BESIDES, IT'S A GOOD EXCUSE FOR ME TO RIDE DOWN AGAIN AND HOOK UP WITH YOU GIRLS..   



LOTS OF AWESOME BIKES THERE BUT THIS ONE RULED!!

LOTS OF DIFFERENT CLUBS AND FREE RIDERS ALL COMING TOGETHER TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR THESE LADIES AND THEIR CAUSE..A RAFFLE AND A 50/50 DRAWING ADDED TO THE ATMOSPHERE AND A PINK BALLOON RELEASE WAS PRETTY COOL..IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO, YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE POST I DID ON THE CLUB BACK IN THE JULY ARCHIVES..THERE YOU WILL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE CLUB AND HOW TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THESE WOMEN..THEY ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING GOING ON..TOYS FOR CONNECTICUT KIDS--COAT DRIVE FOR THE HOMELESS--AND ALWAYS SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER-EXP.-PUTTING TOGETHER CARE PACKAGES FOR HALLOWEEN..I LOVE THESE LADIES--JUST SUPER PEOPLE!!

THINGS--39TH ANNUAL ROCK AND GEM SHOW--BRISTOL CT..

 

WE ALL HAVE MEMORIES THAT STAY WITH US AS WE GO THROUGH LIFE, SOME PLEASANT - SOME NOT SO PLEASANT.. I HAVE SEVERAL THAT HAVE REMAINED RATHER VIVID IN MY POWERS OF RECALL. .AMONG MY MORE PLEASANT RECOLLECTIONS--AS A GRADE SCHOOL CHILD MANY OF US THAT LIVED IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD OFTEN WALK TO AND FROM SCHOOL TOGETHER..BACK AT THAT TIME THERE WAS A SHORT-CUT THAT LED THROUGH A SMALL PATCH OF WOODS THEN THROUGH A CONSTRUCTION SITE WHERE A NUMBER OF NEW HOUSES WERE BEING BUILT..WE WERE FORBIDDEN TO USE THIS SHORT-CUT BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT BOYS BEING BOYS, WE FOUND ADVENTURE IN BREAKING THE RULES AND TESTING THE LIMITS OF OUR COURAGE AS WELL AS NURTURING OUR REBELLIOUS NATURES.. SO, ON OCCASION, WE WOULD VENTURE FORTH INTO THE FORBIDDEN GROUNDS, SOMETIMES AFTER SCHOOL AND SOMETIMES DURING THE WEEKENDS..

BECAUSE OF ALL THE FOUNDATIONS BEING CONSTRUCTED, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF VERY LARGE DIRT PILES THROUGHOUT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE..WE TOOK A CERTAIN DELIGHT IN DISLODGING THE LARGER STONES AND ROLLING THEM DOWN THE PILES..I REMEMBER ONE STONE IN PARTICULAR. I POSITIONED MYSELF FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD REQUIRE A VERY HARD PUSH.. THEN, TO MY SURPRISE, THE STONE ROLLED AND BOUNCED AWAY AS IF IT WERE MADE OF PAPER-MA CHE..

OUR CURIOSITY WAS NATURALLY AROUSED AND IT WAS A SIMPLE MATTER TO PICK THE STONE UP AND DROP IT ATOP ANOTHER..INSIDE WE FOUND A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF REDDISH-PURPLE CRYSTALS..AND THERE IS WERE MY POWERS OF RECALL FAIL ME..WHAT WE DID WITH OUR FIND I DO NOT RECALL..OTHER THAN OUR MUTUAL EXCITEMENT THINKING THAT WE HAD FOUND DIAMONDS, NOTHING ELSE REMAINS IN MY MEMORY OF THAT EVENT..

I DO APPRECIATE NATURE’S BEAUTY..A FLOCK OF GEESE, A FLOWING RIVER, SNOW COVERED TREES, A LATE AFTERNOON HATCH OF PALE EVENING DUNS, STAR-FILLED NIGHT SKIES, ROLLING HILLS AND GREEN MEADOWS, THE ETERNAL DARKNESS OF CAVERNS AND THEIR MYSTERIOUS MAGNIFICENCE—AND YES, EVEN ROCKS CAN HAVE A DELICATE BEAUTY THAT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED BY EVEN THE MOST DELICATE AND EXPERIENCED STONE CARVERS..  

 I LEARNED A LOT OF INTERESTING NATURAL PROCESSES JUST BY TALKING TO THE VENDORS AT THE SHOW AND I HAD TAKEN NOTES ON SOME OF THESE BEAUTIFUL PIECES--BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE I PUT MY PAD DOWN AND FORGOT TO PICK IT BACK UP..SORRY


THE STONE WE FOUND WAS SIMILAR TO THIS EXAMPLE..

SOME INTERESTING SMALL FOSSILS FOR SALE



A BEAUTIFUL FOSSIL OF SOME ANCIENT AQUATIC PLANTS
FOR SALE!!   $800.

WELL, I REPEATED THE STORY I TOLD YOU TO A COUPLE OF THE VENDORS AT THIS SHOW AND THE USUAL RESPONSE WAS A WINCE WHEN I DESCRIBED OUR METHOD OF OPENING OUR GEODE (THE PROPER NAME FOR THE TYPE OF ROCK WE HAD FOUND)..THE PRICE OF SUCH A PIECE THAT I DESCRIBED TO THEM WAS VARIABLE..ANYWHERE FROM $500 TO $800 DEPENDING ON CRYSTAL STRUCTURE, MINERAL CONTENT, COLOR, EYE APPEAL ETC..EVERY TIME I SEE A PILE OF DIRT NEXT TO WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BECOME SOME FAMILY'S FUTURE HOME, MY MIND  WANDERS BACK TO THAT DAY WHEN WE LOOKED DOWN IN AWE AT THE ROCK WE HAD BROKEN APART..AFTER THE SHOW I COULDN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHATEVER BECAME OF THAT BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF NATURE'S WORK..MAYBE SOMEDAY I'LL STOP AND POKE AROUND SOME STONES AND ROCKS AT SOME CONSTRUCTION SITE AND SEE WHAT I FIND..WHY NOT??  I HAVE CERTAINLY DONE MUCH MORE BRAINLESS THINGS....
                                                            *************************
NEXT WEEK I HOPE TO HOOK UP WITH THE "CONNECTICUT WOMEN IN SEARCH OF A CURE  MOTORCYCLE CLUB." UNTIL THEN CHECK OUT THEIR STORY IN THE JULY ARCHIVES--GREAT BUNCH OF GIRLS......

BACK TO BARKHAMPSTED--HOOKED UP WITH OTHERS WHO WERE 'JUST CRUISIN'



I’M NOT ONE OF THOSE WHO CAN PUT THE BIKE AWAY FOR FIVE OR SIX MONTHS..SO AS LONG AS THE ROADS ARE PRETTY CLEAR, I’LL GET OUT AND PUT A FEW MILES ON THE BIKE JUST TO GET MY MIND RIGHT..OF COURSE I DON’T ENJOY THE SAME LEVEL OF COMFORT THAT SUMMER RIDING BRINGS, BUT LIKE I SAID, IT’S BETTER THAN NOT RIDING FOR FIVE OR SIX MONTHS, AND I HAVE FOUND SOME PLACES THAT MAKE GREAT HOT CHOCOLATES..

PEOPLE--PETIT FAMILY FOUNDATION--RIDE FOR JUSTICE

ON NOVEMBER 8 OF 2010 A JURY RECOMMENDED EXECUTION FOR A LIVING, BREATHING PILE OF FECAL MATTER NAMED STEVEN HAYES..AN ON-GOING TRIAL WILL DECIDE THE FATE OF HIS ACCOMPLICE, ANOTHER PILE OF EQUALLY DISGUSTING GARBAGE NAMED JOSHUA KOMISARJEVSKY.. TO ADD A BIT OF INSULT TO INJURY, READ THE FOLLOWING WHICH IS FROM AN NBC NEWS WEBSITE (OLD NEWS)..   
                                                                                                      ***                                                                                                                            

STEVEN HAYES HAS BEEN IN STATE CUSTODY FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, AWAITING TRIAL FOR WHAT POLICE SAY WAS HIS PART IN THE  JULY 2007 MURDERS OF JENNIFER HAWKE-PETIT AND HER TWO DAUGHTERS HAYLEY AND MICHAELA. DURING MOST OF THE TIME HE’S BEEN INCARCERATED, HE HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN ON SUICIDE WATCH.

“FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, STEVEN HAYES WAS GIVEN ONE TO ONE SUPERVISION BY CORRECTIONS OFFICERS, IN OTHER WORDS, TYPICALLY THEY WOULD BRING IN AN EXTRA DUTY, OVERTIME CORRECTIONS OFFICER TO SIT OUTSIDE THE CELL OF THIS INMATE AND JUST WATCH HIM 24 HOURS A DAY,” SAID STATE REPRESENTATIVE MIKE LAWLOR OF EAST HAVEN.

LAWLOR SAID THE ONE-TO-ONE SUPERVISION IS COSTING THE STATE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

“THE COST OF DOING THAT IS THREE, FOUR, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND I THINK WHEN PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT THAT, KNOWING THE TREMENDOUS BUDGET CRISIS WE FACE, KNOWING HOW SHORT-STAFFED THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS IS TO START WITH, PEOPLE START SAYING IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG HERE,” HE SAID.
                                                                              ***

CHECK OUT THOSE LAST FIVE WORDS OF THE QUOTE== ‘IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG HERE,’….YEA!!  THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE.. IDIOCY RULES SUPREME AND COMMON SENSE HAS BEEN SLAPPED INTO SUBMISSIVE SILENCE..WE HAVE GOOD OLD FOLKS THAT HAVE WORKED HARD ALL THEIR LIVES AND NOW CAN’T AFFORD TO HEAT THEIR HOUSES, MANY STRUGGLE TO AFFORD THEIR MEDICINES AND MEDICARE EXPENSES..IT ELUDES ME HOW THE STATE CAN JUSTIFY LAYING OFF STATE POLICE WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE DAILY PROTECTING THE PUBLIC AND COME TO THE AID OF THOSE IN NEED, AND YET SPEND LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS ENSURING THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF STEPHEN HAYES..LAY OFF THE GOOD GUYS—SO WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THE BAD GUYS (?)...

NEVER MIND WHAT THEY SAY THEIR RULES ARE-LET US VOTE ON IT..MORE STATE POLICE-OR TAKE CARE OF POOR STEVIE?  MORE TEACHERS OR STEVIE?  SOME RESEARCH MONEY FOR PLACES LIKE SAINT JUDE’S CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, VETERANS’ HOSPITALS, CANCER RESEARCH, BREAST CANCER, LEUKEMIA OR TAKING CARE OF STEVIE? BET YOU CAN ADD TO THIS LIST..LET US TELL THEM HOW TO SPEND OUR MONEY..

STEVEN HAYES WAS SENTENCED TO DEATH WITH AN EXECUTION DATE SET FOR MAY 27 2011...OBVIOUSLY IT HAS COME AND GONE BUT HAYES STILL LIVES AND BREATHES..IT WILL MOST LIKELY BE DECADES BEFORE HE IS ACTUALLY PUT TO DEATH..HOW MUCH WILL HE COST THE STATE (YOU AND ME)? WHO KNOWS, BUT THAT MONEY COULD EASILY SEND A GOOD NUMBER OF UNDER PRIVILEGED CHILDREN TO SOME IVY LEAGUE COLLEGES (WITH PLENTY LEFT OVER) RATHER THAN BEING WASTED ON A ENEMY OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, ALL THAT IS DECENT..STEVE AND HIS PARTNER JOSHUA ARE NOT NATURAL MEN, THEY ARE SUB-HUMAN  EMBODIMENTS OF SADISTIC EVIL..

I WANT TO THANK GWEN O'DONNELL FOR THE THREE PHOTOS OF
THE CROWD AT THE RALLY--GOOGLE HER NAME UP--SHE HAS QUITE
AN INTERESTING BACKGROUND--AND A REAL PLEASANT PERSON TO TALK WITH

EXECUTION IS AT BEST AN UGLY ENDING TO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS BROUGHT SOCIETY’S HARSHEST JUDGMENT UPON HIM OR HERSELF..NOT A CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION..A SEVERE RETRIBUTION FOR A COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND HORRIBLE CRIME..SOME CRY OUT ABOUT ‘CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.’ COME ON, NOTHING UNUSUAL THERE—WE ALL DIE..CRUEL AND UNUSUAL WOULD BE HOW STEVIE AND HIS PARTNER ENDED THE LIVES OF THE THREE WONDERFUL WOMEN OF THE PETIT FAMILY..

ONE OF MANY OLD FRIENDS I RAN INTO
JERRY DIONNE-JERRY CAME BACK INTO THE BIKE SCENE
IN REAL NICE STYLE WITH AN 05 HARLEY-CLASSIC DELUXE

THERE IS NO QUESTION OF GUILT HERE, NO TROUBLING DOUBTS, SEND HIM TO HIS MAKER FOR HIS FINAL JUDGMENT—PUT OUR HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS TO WORK DOING GOOD FOR THOSE WHO NEED A HELPING HAND—HELP THOSE WHO NEED HELP—NOT THOSE WHO HAVE SHOWN THEMSELVES TO BE COMPLETELY LACKING IN RESPECT FOR HUMAN DIGNITY AND LIFE, CONTEMPTUOUS OF THE HIGHEST VALUES OF OUR SOCIETY..

                                                

                   A QUOTE FROM NOVELIST LOIS McMASTER BUJOLD, “THE DEAD CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE; IT IS A DUTY OF
                                                                   

                                                                    THE LIVING TO DO SO FOR THEM”           

                                                 ****************************************************

 ON OCTOBER 2^ND THE SECOND ANNUAL ‘RIDE FOR JUSTICE’ TOOK PLACE..THE EVENT WAS SPONSORED BY—TRANTOLO  &

 TRANTOLO—OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE—BOZZUTO’S INC.  AND YANKEE HARLEY DAVIDSON..AN UNOFFICIAL COUNT PUTS THE NUMBER OF MOTORCYCLES PRESENT AT 2000..EACH MOTORCYCLE PAID $25.00 ( AND $15.00 FOR A PASSENGER) TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RIDE FROM SAINT PAUL HIGH SCHOOL, THROUGH BRISTOL, BURLINGTON, HARWINGTON, TERRYVILLE, WOLCOTT AND PLANTSVILLE BEFORE ARRIVING AT BOZZUTO’S FOOD DISTRIBUTION CENTER IN CHESHIRE FOR AN OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE BBQ,, LIVE MUSIC AND JUST A GREAT TIME HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS AND MEETING NEW ONES..IT’S A GREAT TIME FOR A GREAT CAUSE, AND BEING A SOMEWHAT RELIGIOUS TYPE OF GUY, I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE PETIT WOMEN WERE WATCHING AND SMILING WITH APPROVAL..



CROWD WAS BREAKING UP AND STARTING TO HEAD HOME.
SAW THIS ONE OF A KIND BEAUTY.
AWESOME-SLEEK
HAD TO SHARE IT WITH YOU..

 THE PETIT FOUNDATION HAS A WEB-SITE WHERE YOU CAN CHECK OUT MORE  ABOUT PAST AND UPCOMING EVENTS..THIS WAS A GREAT TIME FOR ALL..THE SAD TRUTH IS THAT IT TOOK SUCH A HORRIBLE EVENT TO BRING ABOUT SUCH A GATHERING OF GIVING AND CARING GOOD PEOPLE...
                                                                       **************
                                                                        
P.S.-STARTED OUT THIS POST BY REVIEWING THE CHESHIRE HOME INVASION.. BUT 97% OF THE U.S. HAS PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT IT AND IT FIRES ME UP JUST TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT HAPPY HOME.. FIGURED I WOULD BRING MY FEELINGS ABOUT OUR STATE'S PRIORITIES TO THE FRONT THIS WEEK..STEVIE DESERVES NOTHING MORE THAN A 75 CENT BULLET--THE PETIT WOMEN DESERVE
                                                                          JUSTICE..
