Progressive rock is good for our health
May 14th, 2025 · No Comments

BMW GS 1250 review
November 3rd, 2019 · No Comments
Just spent an hour test riding the GS1250. That is one awesome motorcycle and a fine machine :). Surprisingly the bike didn’t feel heavier than my Wee (Suzuki Vstrom 650, 2014), and it even felt more agile and not less maneuverable, even in traffic. Could be due to the low center of gravity and the […]

June 2nd, 2016 · No Comments
The other day I was making a Yemen pepper paste (“Zhug”) and the garlic I used left my hands smelling awful. The odur gets stuck and water and soap didn’t really help.
