Reason for helmet laws in CA might just be as easy as ONE NAME!

LOL - yes thank God for Mommy's good looks. They really enjoy getting out and bowling. I have a rule with my son - no bumpers. He's starting to pick it up a bit. He even tries a little bit of a hook sometimes. I'm going to keep him at it so when he gets a little older I can get him a finger tipped ball, etc. My daughter is a little firecracker, if you couldn't tell.
Thank God for that. After making the list for JAnderson…the East Coast SUCKS for making those lists…because the states are so close together you have to spend about 3-5x the effort. Especially DC.so no need to go through lists of DC alleys for me next month
Wildfires- Yeah, if you live in a forest.
Earthquakes- I've experienced about 5-6 in the 3 years I've been here…worst thats happened is a small knick knack fell off a shelf and it's arm broke off and I had to glue it. Greatly over-rated.
Cost of Living- True. But I make 32-52% more in salary than I did in the Midwest to cover it.
Smog- Actually SoCal has lost 1st place in smog to Houston/Dallas area. Apparently Texas's pro-business climate has a small drawback.
Helmet Laws- If you ride a motorcycle without a helmet…you deserve to live on a feeding tube the rest of your life. We shouldn't need seatbelt and helmet laws to make people use/wear them. It should be a self preservation instinct.
Seasons- I spent 30 years with rain all spring, 80 degree 100% humidity summers, nice falls, and 30 degree winters. I'll trade the nice falls and occasional white Christmas for never having to scrape ice off my windshield ever again.

Ok, my scores have been sent to Aslan, and in case anybody wants a preview Game 1 was crap so for Game 2 I went ahead and bowled my highest score ever. Not a 300 by any means, but I'm slowly inching closer.
I've ridden motorcycles since I was about 9. Suzuki 80, Kawasaki 100, Honda 250, Honda 1100/1200, and now a Honda 750V4. And yes…it is sometimes nice to ride without a helmet…especially in 106 degree weather or when you have your hair all combed nice for a date and you don't want the helmet to smash it.
BUT…many, many things are "nice"…but we don't do them because they carry too much risk. I don't have a problem with people not wearing helmets…but unfortunately in this country our medical system has an inherent duty to provide care for people even if those people get hurt by doing completely stupid things. If people want to ride without helmets…they should simply be forced to sign a waiver that if they are severely hurt they will get no life saving treatment and their useable organs given to smarter people that need them. If that were the case…I'd say ride without a helmet…ride without a jacket…ride without pants…who cares?

Updated.
Thus far, of the posted scores…VDub grabs another 3 points to give him 6 thus far and Bunny only has 2 after two months. Still plenty of time left though with 4 more months before the finals. And after Mudpuppy got off to a torrid start last month…ZDawg put the hammer down in month 2 taking all 4 points. And Aslan takes advantage of an off-night by Jeral to get even getting all 4 points.
Also…CLOSEST MATCH YET as Stormed and TCC dual in games that were each decided by 3 or less pins and a 4-pin difference in totals!
Also….as we wait to see if tr33frog is still alive and to see if J-Dilly might actually participate this month…after finding out JAnderson has bowed out this month…noeymc added to his tour leading point total with a devastating defeat of classy granny.
Of reported scores (where both parties reported):
noeymc: 8 points (6) and takes (most improved average)
Stormed1: 6 points (3)
VDub: 6 points (3) and still the (overall scratch pin fall lead)
zdawg: 5 points (5)
Aslan: 4 points (3)
tccstudent: 4 points (4)
Jeral999ok: 3 points (5)
Mudpuppy: 3 points (4)
Bunny: 2 points (4)
classygranny: 1 point (1)

Good stuff - good work Zdawg.
My philosophy on motorcycles is ALL GEAR ALL THE TIME. Whether it is 20 degrees out or 120 degrees full leathers, helmet, gloves, boots, etc.
How do you call it an off-night by Jeral, yet give him credit for all 3 games above average?
I think we need clarification on what is considered a "game above average".
vdubtx shot 215 while using a 215 average, and 214 while using a 214 average, and did not appear to be credited with those games being above average, so you must mean above, not at or above.
However, giving Jeral 3 games above average this month is questionable.
The first month he used 174 as an average, and shot games of 195, 222, 161. So that is clearly 2 games over average.
The second month he used an average of 183 and shot games of 189, 178, 194, which appears to only be 2 games over average for a total of 4, yet you list 5.
That is also consistent with Mudpuppy.
The first month he used an average of 190, with scores of 254, 157, 222, clearly 2 games over.
The second month he used an average of 200, with scores of 204, 175, 198, looks like 1 game over, yet you have his total listed as 4.
Did I mention I dislike back doors?
I would love to participate in this when the next one starts. This is a great idea.
