Richard will be sorely missed for months into years […]

Happy Easter, I mentioned in the news about a story I told, and how I wasn’t sure how my listener would respond. All is well and she got the joke. I dodged another bullet. This next week will be interesting. We have a serious line-up of striking content. And Richard is working on his second

Happy New Years, I spilled my guts about some of our 2014 moves, and I realized some were not strictly within the carefully outlined and strict Bikernet Code of the West.

Hey, It seems quiet today. Hopefully it’s not the lull before the storm. Actually, two days ago it was 90 degrees, today it will hit 68, and 66 and rain tomorrow, so the storm is coming. I rode the Mudflap Girl to my mountain to say a prayer for my first wife. She’s dying of

Here we go, I’m not sure where to start this morning. The industry is still in Cincy, although many are trying to find a way to watch the Super Bowl. We will have several reports from the front, most were good, but some spelled doom and gloom. That’s always the case. I looked up a

Hey, Never a dull moment. It rained last night so I spent an hour this morning drying off the Bikernet Van and the glass tables in the rarely used Bikernet patio. Of course Sin Wu sticks her head into my office to report more rain in the next couple of days. Last night, I rolled

AMAZING SUNDAY DIGITAL DISCOVERY–That’s George Hood’s hands holding the photo. The image of Eddie Ryan’s shop in San Pedro was taken right before the city tore the building down. A guy approached the city of San Pedro to buy the wall and keep it intact, but the city said “No”… Ultimately the wall was destroyed.

Hey, Well it’s never a dull moment around the Bikernet Headquarters.
