The Crash of my Suzuki photo 27617 769 0 right A view of the cracked radiator and broken handlebars from my crash photo I ve been getting asked by lots of people so I thought I d just add a little note about my recent incident As it happened yes I was in a motorcycle accident on Wednesday night I suppose fortunately depending on your POV the worst part of the crash was the damage to my bike I was only about 1 2 miles from my house headed up to Fry s and fortunately wearing my boots jeans jacket and as always my helmet I was probably traveling at about 40 45 mph the speed limit is 45 and there were three cars in front of me Two of them evidently slammed on their brakes to make a left hand turn into an apartment complex Technically you re not supposed to turn there but there is no sign and admittedly everyone uses the turn myself included Regardless the Ford Explorer in front of me was forced to slam on his brakes sending his car into a screeching halt smoke off of the wheels and that whole show I had been keeping a pretty reasonable distance behind him and as soon as I heard saw his tired screeching to a halt I immediately started applying pressure the brakes bear in mind this next part all happens in a few brief seconds I applied gentle pressure at first but quickly realized I just wouldn t stop in time Likely a little panicked I squeezed harder on the brakes something you really shouldn t do on a motorcycle but my options were pretty limited This threw the bike into a tail skid and pretty much sealed my fate Evasive as I could be I turned the wheel hard left to minimize impact but still wound up smashing into the back left part of his Ford Explorer turns out that steel is very hard It s a bit of a blur but part of me hit the side of his Explorer I flipped over the handle bars the bike crashed to the ground and I landed on the pavement more or less in the fetal position with engine coolant pouring all over my legs I was laying there for awhile possibly knocked out briefly until I started hearing people screaming to call 911 and all of that I m sure nobody could tell since it was already dark out but I opened my eyes and saw some people standing over me Even though I knew they were there for whatever reason I just closed my eyes and laid there a little while longer I was surprisingly comfortable laying against the pavement It was the sound of sirens that eventually got me moving After what seemed like minutes but was likely seconds I stood up to the contrary recommendation of most onlookers and observed the scene I hated that I was blocking traffic and didn t want to get a ticket and so I picked up my motorcycle and walked it off of the street and sat it against the sidewalk There was a grass field there and I hobbled over and sat down There were four women helping me and they were all very nice All in all there were 6 police cars 2 firetrucks and 1 ambulance It took me a few minutes but I was able to get them all to go away I just had to actively refuse treatment Turns out that telling them you re uninsured is a GREAT way to do this Tracy came over and took me to the ER about an hour later but ultimately had to refuse treatment for the price Clearly battered bruised and a little bloody the nurses were angry that I would rather save what I was told would be upwards of 5000 00 than be treated for a serious motorcycle accident I very calmly and politely explained to them I didn t need an emergency room and all of that I just needed a caring doctor to take some X Rays of my leg wrist shoulder back and neck They said this just wouldn t be possible and that I d have to pay the full price of admission I looked at them took a deep breath and said ok well thanks anyways as I hobbled my bloody body out of the intake room Instead Tracy drove me around looking for all night clinics until about 1 30 in the morning when I finally decided to give up We just went to Kirby Lane and had a late night meal my leg dragging off behind me Finally I got up in the morning woken by my brother and a friend insisting I go to the hospital and Mike took me to a regular clinic The full exam and 11 X Rays wound up costing me just 252 and it turns out there isn t a single thing wrong with me serious anyways My right knee is pretty swollen but should be okay and I m otherwise just sore as all could be Thanks for the well wishes and I m looking forward to fixing my bike

3rd Challenge to Dawnna Dukes State Income Tax For three weeks in a row now I have been creating videos challenging Ms Dawnna Dukes to a debate I ve even offered to pay all expenses related to it Not only has she ignored my requests but she has even gone so far as to block me from her Facebook page I can t even view my State Representative s social media posts It seems that she has risen high enough in the political ranks whereby civil discourse is no longer a necessity for her version of democracy Last week I referred to a href http www ludlow2014 com blog 514 2nd debate challenge to dawnna dukes Dawnna s support of corporal punishment a I was very surprised to see her take this position given her credentials of working with children The week before that I discussed her a href http www ludlow2014 com blog 509 challenging dawnna dukes to a local debate apparent support of the War on Drugs a Despite my efforts she continues to ignore me In this third video I focus on Ms Dukes desire to see Texas a href http votesmart org candidate political courage test 5448 dawnna dukes VBvMp fvV9k adopt a state income tax a I m genuinely curious to hear her defend this position but make the assumption that she is trying to protect people from being displaced with rising costs I state three different counter arguments to this assumption and briefly contrast income tax and property taxes I truly believe that many of our greatest problems could be solved if only we would hold politicians accountable to their words and actions So long as I am competing for a seat in the legislature I will certainly do just that I would strongly encourage you to a href a href https www facebook com dawnna dukes2 contact Ms Dukes office a and request that she comment on these positions iframe width 520 height 293 src www youtube com embed sxtaC 5d0jM frameborder 0 allowfullscreen iframe

Wall Socket Sex This is what I spent my post Christmas dinner with the family working on I saw a hand drawn version sort of like it on Reddit and thought I could run with the concept and practice some Photoshop The red Fedora was indeed a tribute to my OS photo 35946 740 520 left photo

The Duval Car Chase One day I came down the staircase and into my condo s parking garage over at 32nd and Duval just north of UT Austin s campus It was late probably between 2am and 3am I only took a couple of steps into the garage when I noticed two guys near the corner trying to break into one of my neighbors cars I looked in their general direction and one of them made eye contact with me He was like a deer in headlights He signaled to his buddy and they very slowly and casually started walking away from the car they were attempting to rob I started walking faster towards my truck and they did the same towards the exit I finally ran to my truck and they ran out of the parking garage A small white car was waiting for them and they jumped into it I started up my F 150 in record time and hauled out of the garage in pursuit of them Since my car was still equipped with an external sound system I thought it was far time that I use my siren for a good purpose and proceeded to chase them towards campus My lights were flashing and my police siren was at full volume I pursued them south down Duval street all the way to 26th street They ran the light and turned west on 26th I followed We hit upwards of 60mph as we traveled westerly through campus They took a hard right onto Guadalupe and I was still in close pursuit Finally as we neared 29th street they did a 180 through traffic I couldn t safely make the same turn especially in my truck By the time I did turn around probably just a few seconds later they had gotten far enough away from me that I lost them If only cell phones had been available I typed up an indecent report and posted it in the elevator at my condo complex in case anybody had been burglarized Fortunately I was able to run them out before they actually did any damage It sure would have been nice to catch them

The First Zima photo 269663 740 150 right Standard issue Zima photo At the start of the high school football season in 1995 I had the pleasure of being openly intoxicated for the very first time in my life It was also the first time that I d ever tasted a Zima In hindsight I m sure the evening wasn t one of the most graceful of appearances I ve ever made but it was indeed first of many similar ones The first game of this particular year was against Clear Lake a good football program well out of our district In fact Clear Lake was and remains a good hours drive from Katy I had been planning to go to the game with a good friend of mine at the time Johnny Smith A few hours before we were going to leave for the game Johnny got word that someone could make a beer run for us I m not certain who actually picked up the alcohol but I think it may have been another friend of ours named Jason Schrodi possibly with the help of Bert Gentles I do know that Johnny and I went over to Bert s house to pick it up Since I was uncertain of what to get Bert recommended to me that I get a 6 pack of Zima Zima had only been around for a year or two at the time and though it was labeled a ladies drink it was a pretty good introduction to drinking So like any good high school kids we got two cases of beer Miller and Zima got in Johnny s ugly brown Thunderbird and illegally drove to Clear Lake merrily drinking along the way The car ride also taught me just how badly alcohol requires one to pee a legitimate issue when on the highway To the best of my recollection I drank three Zimas before that game one at Johnny s house and two more in the car By the time we got to the game I definitely remember being pretty hammered Other than have a great time in the bleachers there really wasn t anything of great significance that happened I ran into dozens of my friends at the game most of whom were amused and surprised at me being intoxicated Our team wasn t very good and so it s pretty likely that we didn t win but I have a funny feeling that was not of great importance to me I could really only stand the taste of Zima for a few more weeks It was sometime around then that I was introduced to the various flavored malts like MD 20 20 Purple Passion and Boone s Strawberry Wine Those were the days
