So a Texan moto-blogger called Torch (Midlife Motorcycle Madness) bestowed upon this little site a Friendship Blogger Award.  Not so sure I qualify, particularly the "exceedingly charming" criterium, but "Thanks Torch!"  The "FBA" program asks that each recipient in turn honor eight more blogs,  ad infinitum. Each blogger is also to include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award:

These blogs are exceedingly charming.
These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends.
They are not interested in self-aggrandizement.
Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.
Please give more attention to these writers.

If nothing else, this is a great way to discover interesting new blogs. Now, on behalf of Tilted Horizons and the Academy of Blogging Arts & Sciences...the envelope please...the eight coveted "Eff-Bee" awards go to, in no particular order:

Scooter in the Sticks

Living in Bury St. Edmonds

Bluepoof

Dante's Dame

Scoot Lancaster

Thirteen-Moto

Touring on the Road

Cowmooraff

She Rides A Beemer

Mongo's Digs

The Iceman Bloggeth

Tomorrow-Land

Bolty

What's that?  More than 8?  I've never been very good with numbers.  Besides,  I couldn't pick just 8.  So sue me; I happen to know a good lawyer.  ;^)
