Motorman Speaks
This post is a guest blog from a friend
Hi, call me “Motorman.” I am a motor officer who serves on the local PD where BHD lives. He has been on my case for months to write something for his blog about what I feel like when citizens ask me questions.
Here goes. What is the most frequent question I am asked?

Biker: Not!
I joined a charity motorcycle ride last Sunday. The ride is open to all — not just for Harley riders. But most of the motorcycles ridden to the event were Harleys. Anyway, I can’t say that some of these people will ever learn:
Boots are for Bikes
Shorts and Sneakers are for the gym
and flip-flops are for the trash.
Sheesh… see for yourself. Idiocy reigns supreme!

Escorted Ride
Went on a fundraising ride for a police charity today. The ride was escorted by our county’s finest. They stopped traffic on cross streets and at ramps on interstate highways so that our ride could proceed unimpeded. It is quite something to have the Capital Beltway to yourself!
Here are a few photos… great ride!
Our escorts… local motor officers:
Ready to ride. I am fourth back after the officers leading us.
Several of the professionals who led us took a moment for a photo with me at the staging area.
Some of the boots on the cops:
Are these gaiters or puttees?
He takes care of his dress instep Dehners:
Life is short: support your local cops and enjoy the ride!
It’s Pride in DC — Oops, Forgot Again
As I was driving (my cage) to work on Friday morning, I was listening to the news. There was a report about events in DC this weekend. One of the events listed was Capital Pride — the annual concentrated series of events and activities for gay, lesbian, and assorted and sundry related folk held in Washington, DC. Events around this year’s Capital Pride have winnowed to three days — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with the largest event on Sunday — the “Pride Festival.”
Obviously, since I forgot about it, you may wonder what my spouse and I think.

The Spouse On His Recovery
I have been hesitant to post anything on this blog about my spouse’s ongoing health condition as he continues the fight to recover from the serious long-term infection he had all last year… mild recovery… relapse, and now… in his own words,

“Can” Questions About Boots and Leather
Every now and then, I look at questions in my logs which indicate what people are entering into search engines and then produce a page or two from my website or this blog for answers.
Here are the latest “can” questions — as in “can I” or “can you” … well, you “can” but the real question is, “do you want to?”

Social Expectations — and how this gay couple doesn’t meet them
My spouse and I are often invited to various parties, events, and activities. People in general enjoy socializing. I like it too. My spouse, however, does not.
For years now the “we” part of “me” will not attend social events. I should be accustomed to it, but it still is difficult to politely but routinely turn down invitation after invitation. Yep, as a gay couple, my spouse and I do not meet any form of expectations for socializing.
Examples–
