Norman Rockwell Busted My Clutch Cable
I discovered that in an emergency, you can shift a Royal Enfield without using the clutch... if you can avoid coming to a complete stop.
This weekend was the last day for the Norman Rockwell Exhibit at the local museum of art. As an artist myself, I've admired Rockwell's idyllic take on happy childhoods and commonplace adult life. I got a little emotional feeling a reverence for seeing these treasures in person. In a sea of cardigan sweaters and polyester slacks, the only guy in a leather jacket, rigid Levis and engineer boots quickly composed himself and moved on.
I rode the 45 minutes to the museum in sunny, Rockwellian weather (60 degrees is nice for January), but on the way home my clutch cable snapped. I guess after 6000 miles of commuting it was time. Turns out, if I could keep rolling I could shift up and down without the clutch. Just goose the gas to shift up, hold on when shifting down, pray for no intersecting traffic, and be prepared to roll through stop signs and lane-split. On Enfields, a clutch cable is a cheap and easy fix.
Rockwell once said,
"When I go to farms or little towns, I am always surprised at the discontent I find. And New York, too often, has looked across the sea toward Europe. And all of us who turn our eyes away from what we have are missing life."
This was my family's 2010 Christmas card, which features our 1961 Ford pickup. You could say the card was inspired by the above Rockwell painting titled "Going and Coming."

Berlin
A few weeks ago I was in Berlin and was fortunate to be invited by Christian Boros to visit his museum which located in a bunker from WWII which was a civilian bunker that could hold up to 2000 people.
It's one of the most amazing buildings I have seen lately .
We first wondered around in the museum which has 5 floor and an amazing art collection on display, and then afterwards we went up to his penthouse that is build on top of that bunker.
Which is also full of art & some amazing furniture.
A truly wonderful experience, thank you Christian for your hospitality.
