After living with a True Native Moldovan practically for 5 years I have been givin honorary Moldovan status, and here is a list of Holidays I am commiting myself into celebrating this year along with the normal American/Christian Holidays.
Im forwarding this list to my boss not asking or requesting but demanding these days off to celebrate properly.
1 Jan - New Year's Day.
7-8 - Jan Moldovan Christmas.
8 Mar - International Women's Day.
20 Apr - Easter Monday (Orthodox).
1 May - Labour Day.
9 May - Victory and Commemoration Day.
27 Aug - Independence Day.
31 Aug - Limba Noastra (National Language Day).
American Above all, but Honorary Moldovan after at least a 6 pack!

Happy Boxing Day!
Boxing Day dates back to past centuries when it was the custom for the wealthy to give gifts to employees or to people in a lower social class, most especially to household servants and other service personnel. Boxing day is a public holiday now known as the Day of Goodwill. It is based on the tradition of giving gifts to the less fortunate members of society. Contemporary Boxing Day in many countries is for many a "shopping holiday" associated with post-Christmas sales and early starts to 'January sales'.

Pondering...
If God dwells inside us, like some people say, I sure hope He like enchiladas, because that's what He's getting!
I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.
It's funny that pirates were always going around searching for treasure, and they never realized that the real treasure was the fond memories they were creating.
If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward.
Children need encouragement. If a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way he develops a good, lucky feeling.
If you ever reach total enlightenment while drinking beer, I bet you could shoot beer out of you nose.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

You can only buy AWESOME in 12 packs!
Well it's been a very exciting past couple of days. It started off with a sweet group ride at the 24 course with the felllows from the shop, we thrashed and ripped in all kinds of ways inbetween waiting for Brain to fix his flats.
BRAIN flat!
Everyone took turns scredding especially Richard the Tokin ripped a few on the cross bike. Very impressive...
TOKIN Richard!
Chris Ramathorn won the award for the most carnage, from both pilling it up on the 7 bitches and being attacked by the killer cholla. Hats off to him because it really takes a man to break down and cry out in pain infront of his friends, although sobbing for as long as he did was considered excessive...heck i had one stick on me that night and I was completly fine and took it - no pain style!
Ramathorn + Cholla = baby....
After a great night ride I followed up the next day with another awesome shred at the chutes with Free Jibbin Kyle. We ripped on the street bikes hardcore style!
Get Some Kyle!
The Motor
Chutes and Ladders
Gatling Gun got lots of good riding this week America just to follow it up with an explosive Halloween. A shop policy we have at Fair Wheel Bikes is that we don't service electric motored bikes, and for a good reason. Well Ralph decided against this the other day, and so being the owner we said nothing. Friday before lunch we were charging the battery for the electric powered bike when, in the words of Coach Louter, BOOM! The dang ole engine battery blew up in the shop. Well to keep the short story short, after knocking over an old lady and two children and throwing a puppy on the fire to smoother it I was the first out the door. We had a few fire trucks, who were not as responsiver as a NC volunteer fire department member, but none the less took care of the fire and we were back to work in about and hour and a half! Hell yea...
Living the dream and shenanigans!
PS - no one was hurt in the fire at the shop except for the old lady and the two children i pushed out of the way to escape the fire, and we are not sure what happened to the puppy!
