I was watching television a few nights ago and a commercial was on. In that time, a commercial for the upcoming 10 o’clock news appeared. Lin Sue Cooney (yes, I know all their names) rattled off what reports were coming up and at the end said, “A drunken transient steals a fire truck. Coming up at 10 o’clock.”

I thought to myself….

“drunken……

…transient……

…fire truck…..”

At that point it was rather imperative that I watch the 10 o’clock news. Lin Sue knew exactly what she was doing when those words were muttered in that particular order.

In the report, they said that in Prescott, Arizona a drunken transient stole a fire truck on Whiskey Row (the historic manstreet), got inside it and flipped on the lights and siren (strictly natural instinct for any male sitting in a fire truck for his first time). The drunken transient then did what his mother had probably warned him a million times not to do when growing up: he began to jump up and down on the seats of the fire truck as the town’s people just watched. Some in horror… some in amusement.

At that point I had about a million pictures running through my head. As most likely do you…

Man, it would have been one sight to see…

Alright, in the last few weeks we’ve strayed from the bike talk here at AKingsLife.com…and rightfully so. It’s the off-season for me and non-bike talk is rather desirable at the moment. But, now that we’re quickly coming up on November, my training’s about to pick back up and I promise a post very soon as to my winter thoughts and plans as I get ready to step back into the office. Look for it soon… as well as the debut of The Soul Ride.

Take care…

and do as your mother says and don’t jump on the seats.
