I won't call you if you won't call me. Have you ever had a job making cold calls? I did it for a day and told them I wasn't doing it anymore. I've known salespeople that live for it, and actually think it's fun. I would rather pour salt in my eyes. I knew a guy years ago that worked for the same little computer company I worked for.

This Week

Want to ride it? Years ago I walked into my motorcycle dealer's store, and while I was waiting for them to do something to my bike I was walking around looking at other bikes. I could do this for hours. They had just gotten 2 new bikes in the showroom. They were both Motus MST motorcycles. The first thing I noticed was the "Don't sit on this bike" sign.
