Harley's ;)

Harley's have been around as early as the early 1900's, my boyfriend still has his first Harley. He actually has 4 Harley's in his dining room and one that is a 2001 Harley out in his garage. We keep them polished up in the house and is a great conversation topic. My boyfriend is 18 years older then me, so he has experienced a lot of Harley's in his days, and he has told me a lot of stories. Below I posted some random pictures for you to enjoy.






Your kids have to have a Harley.



Then your pets get involved into Harley's.


First Harley ever invented was similar to a bicycle.
This bike was sold in 1905 to Henry Meyer. This Photograph was made in 1912 by H-D-Photographer L.C. Rosenkrans.
The bike showed several modifications:
later style fenders, replacement fork, different wheels, handle bar and battery box.
During 1912-1913 the bike was publicized
in H-D literature as being the first Harley-Davidson Motorcycle ever built,
and up to that point had been ridden
nearly 100.000 miles.

This Bike was built in 1915.




The Harley has always been most everyone's desire to experience, its just plain romantic to me.


This is the new Harley that just came out, it looks simple and small for me to ride and actually hold the bike up.

Cave homes

Did you know that millions of people worldwide live underground? In fact, over twenty million people live in caves in China alone. These numbers don’t count the numbers of individuals who work in underground laboratories, urban cities, and on construction sites as more and more underground facilities are being built.Some individuals live underground or in caves because they’re simply following the paths of their ancestors. Others, like Gerald Fitzpatrick, have taken on the task of refurbishing underground facilities like this missile silo located in Champion, New York. Still others desire a move beneath the ground in order to avoid overcrowded cities and ground surface pollution. Some of these individuals are minimalists, and others live high on the hog. Finally, there are the survivalists - individuals who want to hunker down in some flat space in Middle America.


You can find troglodytes (cave dwellers) in desert villages spread around North Africa; however, Matmata and Bulla Regia, both in Tunisia, serve as prime examples of this type of dwelling. Troglodytes are believed to be a relatively recent invention in Saharan architecture, dating from about 1200 AD. While the structures proved to be a success, their uses are limited. This area is also popular for nomads and their Bedouin tents and for ‘regular’ housing. Matmata is home to Sidi Driss, the only troglodyte hotel.



Gamirasu Cave House Hotel - Gamirasu is the name of an exquisitely restored eleven-room cave house, in Ayvali Village near Ürgüp in the heart of Cappadocia, Turkey. The hotel is located in a restored one thousand year old Byzantine monastic retreat which offers modern conveniences without distracting from the historic ambiance of the area which has been known to be inhabited for more than five thousand years. The hotel is open all year-round. There is an Early Christian Byzantine Cave Church, containing some frescoes right within the hotel complex itself. There is also an underground city just across from the Hotel waiting to be excavated.


In southern Spain, cave houses naturally maintain a steady temperature of around 19-20 degrees centigrade year round. This is quite exceptional in a montane climate like Granada City where summertime temperatures surpass 40 degrees and where it occasionally snows in winter. Building a cave dwelling is relatively inexpensive (though not necessarily cheap), cave houses can have all the amenities of a regular house (and more), electricity, plumbing, and HVAC are easy to install, and cave houses remain dry and habitable with normal ventilation, unlike many stone caves that can store dampness. Even those with claustrophobia find modern cave houses quite comfortable.


We would strongly recommend using a professional builder for any cave creation or renovation. Finding a cave builder is not always easy, though in areas with large concentrations of cave dwellings it is not hard. Anyone considering building an earthen cave dwelling themselves should spend some time in Granada or elsewhere studying cave construction. Cave hotels, apartment rentals, and flamenco night clubs (tablaos) are common in most areas.


Family multiple in these caves and have lived in them for centuries.

Currently Homeless

Me and my youngest daughter Michellie are currently homeless. I stay with my boyfriends house and his house is like camping out because of cost of fuel he cant afford to run the gas heater. My daughter has been staying at Alex's apartment, my other daughters place and her boyfriend from time to time but their relationship is on the rocks.
I became homeless due to the fact of workers compensation, they were paying me on a regular basis but then decided to stop payments because its coming to the end of my case. We have been homeless for a few months. My computer is set up at Alex's apartment and she pays for the phone here. I am going to try and raise money to get a home of our own and make money blogging. Anyone interested in donation may email me and I can set up my pay pal to do that when I find out how.
I have been depressed off and on with my condition, of chronic pain due to the bulging disks in my neck I got through an injury at work. I've been injured for 3 yrs without working, and my income was 2,300 a month and has dropped to nothing. Has anyone experienced this happening to them? Its difficult for me to type for long periods of time and even sit at the computer for a long length of time. I appreciate all that all of you have done in building my communities up. I have excelled a lot in the last week. Thanks again for listening to be bark...have a great day..
