Be careful today too. Hung over drivers are almost as bad as drunks.

Merry Solstice
11:22 AM

Believe what you wish, but there's no denying that this time of year has always been linked to many traditions, ceremonies, and celebrations which were connected to the sun's rebirth. Decorated evergreen trees and the 12 festival days of Yule are just a couple examples of those old celebrations.
This art shows why we have seasons. The globe to the right is where we are now.
Christians did not always celebrate the birth of Jesus as the original focus had been on his resurrection. It's interesting how the birth of the "Son of God" is celebrated at the time of year that many ancient (and not so ancient), cultures celebrated the return or rebirth of the "Sun" which they worshiped as God.
Talk about alignment. It was rained out here on the west coast (bummed I couldn't see it), but a rare lunar eclipse that coincided with this year's solstice happened early this morning. It's been centuries since and will not happen again until 2094. Most people alive today won't see it. Makes you stop and think... and wonder what the world will be like then?
I have to admit, I like the ancients, have always been a bit relieved and happy when the days get longer each day.

Pete Millar's High Flying Santa

Pete Millar's cover art for the Jan. 1963 CAR toons. Millar did CAR toons for Peterson Publications before he started his own comic Drag cartoons.
It's not motorcycle related, but Pete is an Art Hero. Taken at an exhibition of his art the summer of 2008.

I admit it, I cheat. It's very time consuming to start from scratch, so I recycle images whenever I can.
This art was originally done in 1990 for an Art department Christmas display when I worked at Hughes Aircraft Company Space and Communications Group.
Ink up a chopper riding Santa and a few bikes, then work some Photoshop magic.
P.S. Sorry for the lack of post. I've been out of town for two weeks and it takes me awhile to get back in the blog groove.
