I've met some of them. On the other hand my step dad, at age 70, bought one and rode from Georgia to California and back after my mom died. It was his way of processing.

It's an ethnic thing in the US. A few other countries celebrate it like Fathers Day.

I had a Cossack 650 with a sidecar (on the wrong side) for a while as my only transportation to and from work. FUN TIMES. Might as well have been on a tractor.

We do some kind of strange looking (if you don't grow up with it) things in the Catholic Church. Like the Blessing of the Throats. This is a real thing.

I may have been on that tour. I opted to starve. The juice was incredible but the only potato salad I eat is German potato salad.

In some towns this is a Very Big Deal. As in I courted controversy by hosting an Easter Egg hunt for my kids.

And don't even get them started on Halloween. You'd think I was shoving crack down my kids throats or sending Satan an engraved invitation.

it was here.

and it was not 45 min hike in, it was a lot longer, about 2-3 hours iirc. also, i guess its a 45 drive from belmopan, but we didn't stay there. i attached one of my pics. and the lack of capitals is not due to my tweeness, but rather, my shift keys are broken after i spilled wine on the keyboard.

You might know my mom. Seriously, this is the first time I've seen anyone use "jerkweed" except for her in reference to my dad. I thought she made it up.
