I do a pretty good job of avoiding this blog. I am busy making mittens. Snowboarding is very enjoyable with them on. Snowmobiles are more fun with Batmitts. Back country adventures, it is a given. These babies rock.
The economy might be crashing all around us, but people will always have cold hands. We at Batwaves are unharmed by the outcome of the elections. We are not effected by the Government bailout or the inevitable crash. Fuel prices still suck though. It is funny how we all get caught up in the mundane worries of modern society.
We tend to focus on these stupid things instead of what really matters. On September 11, our private pilot flew one of our banners in combat over Afghanistan. For me, the pictures really hit home. It is so easy to forget about the crazy shit we have going on daily around the world. Right or wrong, good or bad, real people that we all know are there. We all sit back night after night and catch the short blurb about another car bomb or suicide attack. We all have become desensitized to the situation.
I guess it is easier not to think about what is going on. Ryan Wells doesn't work that way. After serving four tours as a Ranger in Iraq, he decided to get into flying helicopters. He is very much the real deal. We were very excited to fly our banner, but in hindsight, I a very glad to have cheered up a local who is a long way from home right now. That is what is important. Check out the photos, they will be on the site soon.--Josh
