Exploring Zagreb: the sun finally came out yesterd

Exploring Zagreb: the sun finally came out yesterday - I hadn't seen it for days now; when I woke up, it took me a while to figure out what that weird fireball in the (blue!) sky was - and instead of doing a Google search of what to see, I chose random locations on the GPS. The first one was the "Piece of a Berlin Wall", which I located without much trouble, but then got yelled at by a mean-looking German security guard as the fragment of the Wall was right in front of the German embassy and it turns out, they don't like random moto hobos showing up to take photos; the guard did wish me a nice day in the end, but even that sounded like a threat, so I made myself scarce; next up was the Well of Life in front of a very Viennese - looking National Theatre, and I'd also spotted a Hemingway Bar right next to it, which brought about a memory from Cuba, Hemingway's marina, and the Old Man and the Sea hotel, and I was very tempted to go in and see if they do daiquiris, except it was still barely 11am and while it's always 5pm somewhere in the world I figured I wasn't quite there yet; then, I got carried away looking for green tea kombucha, Colombian coffee, and a hardware store to get some bolts and nuts; and so towards the end of the day, I decided that Zagreb is equal parts Gotham City, Vienna, and Havana all at once, and as long as you avoid shouty German security dudes and go easy on the rakia, it's a pretty neat place to be.

Note to self: 11am in Croatia is 5pm somewhere else in the world, so technically, it's always daiquiri time.

Let's talk motorcycle content. Ever since #rona h

Let's talk motorcycle content.

Ever since #rona hit, everyone started hanging out online more, then promptly got sick of hanging out online, but as #winteriscoming and COVID is staying, it feels like we've gone full circle - and it's back to digital campfires and online storytelling once again. Yet, while there's no shortage of moto media, blogs, and tons of social media content out there, why does it feel like something's missing?

Where's the up close and personal stuff? Where's the poetry? Where's the in-depth stuff and the hilarious stuff and the stuff that matters? We're so concerned about what The Audience might or might not like that at this point, it feels like it's Google's bots and social networks' algorithms that dictate what we post, how we post it, and even when we post it; The Audience is everything, analytics data is sacred, Traffic Volume and Engagement have become more important than connection, and SEO matters more than storytelling - which makes sense in a lot of ways - even book publishers want to see your Social Media Presence first, your ideas second - you've got to play ball in this brave new world; and I do, just like everyone else, hashtag this, keyword that, but, dear Audience, tell me this:

don't you think we all deserve more than this?

"Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mou

"Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses... and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea". - H. M.

Or road, as it were?
