Make Courtesy Awesome Again

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Courtesy should be
a continuous action,
not something to be
turned on and off
like a faucet.
   Anonymous










These wild chickens have laid their egg atop a utility box!
Courtesies of a small
and trivial character
are the ones which
strike deepest in the
grateful and
appreciating heart.
  Henry Clay




I often painted
fragments of things
because it seemed to
make my statement
as well as or better
than the whole could.....
When you take a
flower in your hand
and really look at it,
it’s your world
for the moment.
I want to give that
world to someone else....



...Most people in the city
rush around so,
they have no time
to look at a flower.
I want them
to see it
whether they
want to or not.
     Georgia O'Keeffe




When music and courtesy
are better understood
and appreciated,
there will be no war.
   Confucius




I wish people
were all trees...
I think I could
enjoy them then.
 Georgia O'Keeffe

Courtesy Rider

A L O H A !



" You're only given
a little spark of madness.
You mustn't lose it.

Robin Williams












" Thanks
are the highest form
of thought. "

G.K. Chesterton













I like this shot
because it accidentally captured a plane 
and a bird;
but the bird is higher.

I'm playing a new game
on my scooter.

It's SO much fun to be on two wheels-
just like that anonymous quote:
"Riding a horse is like riding the sky."

It feels like flying close to the ground.
A twist of the wrist 
propels, elates,
elevates!

Cars are driven, but you
RIDE a motorcycle.
Bikers call cars:
"cages."
4 Wheels get you there;
2 wheels make it
FUN.

 " RIDE TO LIVE-
-LIVE TO RIDE! "

This holiday season
I am playing a NEW game called:
"Courtesy Rider."

It was indirectly suggested to me
by the angry Honolulu Police Officer
who gave me a stern talking-to
last week.


He threatened to write me a ticket
but didn't.
Too much fun
can look reckless
I suppose. . .


So I now I am:
COURTESY RIDER!


No more zipping around through traffic
like a UFO.
Legitimate acceleration,
feels better
than playing hound & hare
with ME as the hare.


Thanks Officer.

Maybe you even saved
my life.

Nice early Holiday gift!

Now YOU be safe, my friend.
& Thank YOU for your visit!
