OMG - you are well a homophobist!!
Green tea isn't gayist. They're my work teabags so I don't have to take milk.
Peppermint tea is left over from January when I had flu. It turned into gastric flu and peppermint is supposed to settle your guts. Didn't really work though.

Fresh ground ginger in hot water is very good for upset stomachs, it certainly works for me . I think you are better off eating fresh mint rather than mint tea although it can apparently set off acid reflux .

I'm posting this for self-accountability in a public forum to hopefully manipulate myself to stick with it -sadly, I need this to do this kinda shit to keep me on track, will it work? Who knows, I hope it does.

The current legal status of my nephew's fatal accident this past May is a shit-show. Not going to get into details, basically, the intoxicated driver was released the following day and as of recently has a warrant for a DUI. The investigation into the event is closed and he was not charged for the fatality.

Looking into the details of the accident has prompted me to think about how dangerous it is to ride here in the US despite our awesome roads. Fortunately, thanks to some of you fine fellows and my time in Belgium, I've been afforded the opportunity to experience what an incredible experience riding is in the UK and EU. Doing very little research, it is safer for you mates, despite a significant higher volume of motorcycles and smaller roads in your region, motorcycle riders in the US have a 5X higher rate of injury or death in comparison. There are several reasons for this which I am actively researching and I want to do something about it.

It will be a long arduous effort, but I've decided wtf, why not? For now, I am collecting data, analyzing, researching legislation, and developing a plan on how I can use this information to foster change that saves lives, increases competency in the riding community and brings awareness and responsibility to the other people on the roads we all share here.

More to come hopefully, or I will be distracted by something else and fuck off. Right now though, this is an important issue for me and I want to share with you lot.

Entirely based on Youtube clips and videos, you tend to see a lot of riders in the US who aren't safely kitted out - riders in UK and EU on the whole, get fully wrapped up before getting on a bike.

And on multi-lane roads where you can overtake on either side must be a nightmare; must spend more time looking in your mirrors than ahead.

There seems to be a lot more motorway accidents (cars) in the past few years (this is my perception based on local motorway closures) and I wonder how many are caused by immigrants from countries that have very low standards of driving: my cousin was crashed into by 2 Iraqis about 20 years ago - they didn't have a license so obviously no insurance....and fuck all happened to them.
 
All power to your elbow.
I find it incredible that you have "a higher rate of injury or death" over there. Only the other day there were 2 separate motorcycle fatalities in Weymouth; I could take you to 6 sites within a 3 mile radius of my hose where M/C's have met their fete. I'm sure we've all lost friends as a result of motorcycle accidents. I lost one to a deer. and a married couple to a drugged and drunken driver.
