It says the video is private.

When the Martians find your camera? Just kind of funny, as the reaction is recorded by some people finding it.

I've resisted getting something like a quad copter, because flying it around the neighborhood doesn't seem like enough to justify having one. But I could see taking it on trips, when you're off visiting someplace anyway.

I just added a new bike trail video. They extended the Western Beltway Trail up to Alexander Road. This video is the section north of Charleston Blvd.

Looks like the surface of the moon
with short scruffy trees here and
there. At least when you're the Wiz
of the PacNW it will be more scenic.

Didn't you say that about one of my previous bike trail videos? Remember that Harley was nuked for saying the same thing twice.

I think I said it was a desolate landscape or
something, but I didn't mention trees because
there weren't any. Of course the moon is
very cold, and it was very hot when you were
riding, so the moonscape analogy probably
never crossed your mind. I'd be thinking about
cold beer the whole time.

I did mention the moon once, but not the
same way. I guess my creativity is drying
up. Here are better comments, some of my
best work.

No shade at all. Anywhere. Is this known as the suicide
trail in July-August?

I see shade and hardly any dead bodies, I vote
for this one.

Ever see any snakes on these trails? I hate them, I didn't
even like typing the word.

Thanks for removing the skeletons of the riders
still clinging to the handlebars of their bikes
alongside the trail, before you took the pics.
Looks more touristy without them..

You sure you weren't on the face of the moon? This
thread has cemented for me that I'll never move to Vegas.
It's a desert wasteland.

The best parts are where we can see your shadow
on the roadway. These are like videos you show
to political prisoners of where they'll be sent to
live if they don't cooperate. It always works, they
spill everything they know. Just don't send us there!

Best trail you've shown. Lots of trees and green grass
and landscaping. Lots of live humans, no dead bodies
kicked into the sagebrush like the other trails you
showed. You might survive in July on this trail if you
break down, unlike the other ones.

1000% better with music. It adds a whole new dimension.
Makes it feel like you're going much faster and there's
almost something exciting about it. I'm really surprised it
improved it as much as it did.

Actually the parts of the moon facing the sun are quite hot.

During the day the temperature on the Moon can reach 253 Fahrenheit (123 Celsius), while at night it can drop to -387 Fahrenheit (-233 Celsius). -- source: moonzoo.org.

Thanks for the recap of your previous comments. Some of your best work!

New video of me climbing a long rope at the Santa Monica beach yesterday. I was taken with my little Canon camera.
