Wherever my husband goes, he has eagles following him or hawks. We took a trip once to Washington D C area (Kensington MD. to be exact) from up here in New England - several hundred miles. All the way down we kept seeing a pair of Eagles circling over us and we could never figure out if it was the same pair or not. I assume it was different one. I know it's him as I've never even seen an eagle or a hawk until I met him, being a city girl. However, if we're going to get into specifics about this, it may be safer to move this conversation to net-mail if you know how, as it's not precisely on topic - fascinating, but not on topic.

No idea what the Fifth OK...Fifth Chapter MC is a Nationwide Recovering group of motorcyclists . They started in Manhattan Beach. And have branched out. I am surprised you have not at least seen some of them at few meetings. > at least it's nice to be included in a bunch of nice folks even if I Well maybe you wish you were not included now . Depends on your feelings about bikers. If you spent some time with any of these folks you would find them to be great people. But like any group you go to there will always be a few that seem to struggle more than others . I wanted to say they are not affiliated with AA or NA. They are just a group of recovering Bikers that have found a common ground and interest.
