[A.T. RockDriller]

Depression is a big part of the problem this time of the year in the Northwest..
Sometimes...in the middle of the winter...rainin' like hell, with road-spray blowing twenty feet in the air and curling up under every body panel and coating the chrome and carefully placed paint with with scum....you see the victim behind the tinted glass (or slumped behind the ape-hangers) sometimes with the throttle mashed through the floor mats...just takin' his medicine, tryin to pull his head out of his @$$ so he (or she) can make it 'till the sun shines again.
Most folks in other parts wouldn't think of pullin' their pride and joy out from under cover in that kind of weather, knowing what it takes to get it to sparkle again. Sometimes you'll see the fella on his custom bike....soakin' wet and sufferin' terrible wind-chill and all frost-bit up
Don't be sellin' your medicine, evo... Your head's just goin' through that seasonal assault. That's just one of the wicked symptoms that you deal with every year....Ya' just needed someone to talk ya' down off that perverbial bridge.
Us folks here at the west end of the Gorge got a dry day yesterday and the sun is actually shining fairly strong through the clouds this mornin'...
