Of course, I passed making any comments on helmets, but Doc sent me this last night and I couldn’t resist. I While I bristle at such things as wearing a helmet being the law (I except those not of age) and support free choice, I must always advocate for them. Here is a fascinating tale on the development and history of the helmet. BTW L.O.A. is my all time favorite movie. Enjoy Ram
