Cliffs Riffs - Stuph n Nonsense

My fellow Lowell citizens, please forgive me for presenting this most unpleasant dose of truth to you. If you love a good mystery like I do, then you must appreciate how sometimes the most serendipitous of events can lead the clever person down the path of discovery. Just such an event happened at the last meeting of the Lowell City Council. Being in my usual semi-concious state, something over my left shoulder struck me as out of place. To the best of my knowledge of geology, Lowell is located in America - what on earth was the Canadian flag doing there?

I like to tell people that the only motorcycle that makes less noise than a Beemer is my Zero. Now comes the fun part. According to my Zero App - the cost to fuel my DSR is about .01 per mile. The app lets you plug in your cost of electricity in order to figure such things. So, according to the App, my expense to travel 9,700 miles has been $97.00. My Rockster averaged 38 mpg, which works out to 255.26 gallons to cover the same miles. It burned premium fuel...

Anyway I now have blue, tan, and two pair of black jeans from Chicago. Could not be happier with them. I like to buy things made in the US when ever it is possible. Is it going to change the world? Nah. Is it going to save American jobs - well, it sure can't hurt. Like just about everyone else on Facebook, I had seen tons of ads for Dearborn Denim , a jean company in Chicago. One day I figured I might as well try a pair. Clicked on the link, read about the company , bought a pair of the Tailored Fit Dark Wash - they look like this: They arrived a few days later and at first I was a bit put off because they ...
