THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT COLUMBANUS (Columban) The Patron Saint of Motorcyclists Feast Day: November 23
"Be friendly with men of honor, stiff with rascals. Be gentle to the weak, firm to the stubborn, steadfast to the proud, humble to the lowly. Be ever sober, ever chaste, ever modest. Be patient as far as is compatible with zeal."
The greatest missionary in all of Ireland, Columbanus or Columban, was born in the year 543 at Leinster, Kingdom of Meath (now part of Ireland). After his conception, his mother was said to have had a vision of her child's 'remarkable genius'.
When he was young, several girls made advances to him; and a holy woman from whom he asked advice, said: 'You think that you can freely avoid women. Do you remember Adam who yielded to Eve? Samson made weak by Delilah? David lured from his former righteousness by the beauty of Bathsheba? The wise Solomon deceived by love of women? Go away, turn from the river into which so many have fallen.'
He was first educated under Abbot Sinell of Cluaninis, whose monastery was on an island of the River Erne, in modern County Fermanagh. Under his instruction, Columbanus composed a commentary on the Psalms. Later, he left his family and entered the monastic life to Bangor Abbey, where he studied to become a teacher of the Bible. Columbanus set sail with twelve companions, and they crossed the channel via Cornwall and landed in Saint-Malo, Brittany. This is where he preached to the people and founded many monasteries of strict discipline. Women and visitors were not allowed to enter, and monks could eat in proportion to the amount of their labor.
As fearless as he was righteous, Columban once stormed onto a scene of debauchery and smashed the cask of alcohol. His objections were not confined to revelers either: He would tell bishops, kings, even popes, where he felt they went wrong. And he made enemies due to his criticism of local clergy whom he viewed as debased.
Columbanus and his companions were welcomed by King Guntram of Burgundy (Guntramnus), who granted them land at Anegray, where they converted a ruined Roman fortress into a school. Despite its remote location in the Vosges Mountains, the school rapidly attracted so many students that they moved to a new site at Luxeuil and then established a second school at Fontaines. These schools remained under Columbanus' authority, and their rules of life reflected the Celtic tradition in which he had been educated.
They had to keep silence most of the time, in order to be recollected with God and to avoid the sins of the tongue. As he said: 'Men like nothing better than discussing and minding the business of others, passing superfluous comments and random and criticizing people behind their back. So those who do not have a discerning tongue should keep silent, of if they do say anything, it should promote peace.'
During the last year of his life, Columbanus received messengers from King Chlothar II, inviting him to return to Burgundy, now that his enemies were dead. Columbanus did not return, but requested that the king should always protect his monks at Luxeuil Abbey. He prepared for death by retiring to his cave on the mountainside overlooking the Trebbia river, where, according to a tradition, he had dedicated an oratory to Our Lady. Columban died at Bobium, Kingdom of the Lombards on November 21, 615.
The Rule of Saint Columbanus embodied the customs of Bangor Abbey and other Irish monasteries. Much shorter than the Rule of Saint Benedict, the Rule of Saint Columbanus consists of ten chapters, on the subjects of obedience, silence, food, poverty, humility, chastity, choir offices, discretion, mortification, and perfection.
There are ten miracles attributed to Columban's intercession: from procuring food from a sick monk and curing the benefactor's wife, destroying with his breath a cauldron of beer prepared for a pagan festival, to taming a bear and yoking it to a plough.
The Missionary Society of Saint Columban, founded in 1916, and the Missionary Sisters of St. Columban, founded in 1924, are both dedicated to Columbanus.

SAFE Delaware County Coalition acknowledges those who passed away due to motor vehicle crashes.
Tumblr media
Each November, the SAFE Delaware County Coalition acknowledges those who passed away due to motor vehicle crashes in Delaware County through a remembrance ceremony. Traditionally a display of wreaths with the name of each victim is dedicated as a reminder to drive safely. The purpose of the SAFE Remembers event is to acknowledge that the lives lost are not forgotten. It represents this coalition’s plea to all drivers to remember that their behavior can change everything. Everyone knows someone who has been hurt or injured in a car crash. We have the tools to protect each other. It’s time to begin the work of implementing them. As a way of paying our respect and remembering those victims, the SAFE coalition will also be acknowledging “World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims” on Sunday, November 19 by spreading the word about traffic safety awareness. For more info, visit worlddayofremembrance.org/events. Lead by the Delaware Public Health District, the SAFE Delaware County Coalition serves as a countywide network that unites community partners and leaders seeking to maximize resources and provide injury prevention awareness related to traffic and child safety. Funding is provided by a grant program that provides federal funds administered through the Ohio Department of Public Safety, Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) and Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO) to eligible entities to be used for projects such as traffic safety education.

I have a theory, a very strong theory, that if I invented the most powerful, strongest, coolest looking motorcycle that has ever existed for the cheapest price, but it made absolutely no noise whatsoever, it wouldn't sell at all. I swear to God, these motorcyclists are paying just for the fucking noise. Yet, I found out a signal that they give to each other. When passing on opposite sides of the road, they give a peace sign pointed downward. Or at least the guy in front of me fucking did it to every motorcyclist.

Hundreds of bikers surrounded vehicles in Orange, Seminole counties
As a cyclist, I find I have more issues with bikers than I ever do with cars. They cut me off, and seemingly ignore me when I'm on the road.
