What Is GHAWG?
#GHAWG is short for "God's Hog: A Watchful Guardian." This fictional story tells how David Guardia, a courier and business owner from Bayonne, New Jersey, US moved into the next phase of his life after spending the final ten years of his ailing father's life helping him.
More details can be found in the first post of this weekly recap.

Traffic was halted courtesy of environmental protesters blocking the road out of Santa Fe. Then Lindsay said something to me. "See what I see?" "I've seen it about 100 times, 1st time for real. You go first, Fonzie." "OK." |

ποΈΒ This is a scene similar to what Our Heroes encountered when they were in Portland, Oregon, US but with some key differences. Felix Legion is riding during the day. While Lindsay Etxeberria was a far-left activist when she met David Guardia and Rhonda Bella in Portland, this time she was facing off against far-left activists. Finally, this group of riders was not going to be stopped. |

All those viewings with Pops of The Dark Knight Rises just paid off. Lindsay had noticed an auto hauler near the blockage. Lindsay weaved her Victory through stalled traffic, hit "the nitrous," then used the sides as a ramp. |

ποΈΒ This is what David Guardia had seen about 100 times before. The scene had unfolded before his eyes almost exactly as in the movie he and his father had seen many times; although they lacked the firepower Batman had at his disposal, it turned out that Felix Legion would not need it. Injections of nitrous oxide into their fuel streams at key moments would be enough to get each Lion of Felix Legion to jump. |

Lindsay used the auto hauler as a ramp to launch herself over the protestors blocking the road. She had plenty of clearance on the other side. Rhonda & I followed her lead on my Harley trike, and we made it through the air also. |
---|
ποΈΒ Lindsay Etxeberria was the first to jump the mob. Just as daring was the jump made by David and Rhonda Bella Guardia since the Harley-Davidson tri-cycle's configuration and 2-person payload presented extra challenges. |

Quickly we were followed in this daring display of theatricality by The Twins & Kids. Once The Kids had nailed their landing they joined us, and all our engines roared as we circled Lindsay. We gave a quick prayer of thanks. |

ποΈΒ This was the rest of Felix Legion jumping the mob-- The Twins (Hank Marchenko and Frank Marchenko) and The Kids (Sanjay Rampersad and Lionel Odunsi). Once all were reunited on the ground, the made their motorcycles roar like lions. |

"Father Almighty," I began, "Thank you for giving us the vision to see the situation for what it was, and for giving us the courage to act to overcome it. Amen." "AMEN!" After we circled Lindsay, we began chanting "Fonzie!" |
---|
ποΈΒ What Felix Legion just accomplished was Rhonda Bella Guardia's dream the night before made manifest: 7 lions jumping and roaring at the end. All seven members of Felix Legion recognize what they had done, and all were truly grateful for succeeding in this daring display of theatricality. David Guardia led the chants of "Fonzie!" |
4οΈβ£7οΈβ£6οΈβ£ 2024-June-07 00:26:12 (Act 7 near 2024-April-12)
"Fonzie! FONZIE! FONZIE!" "Fonzie from Happy Days?" asked Lindsay." "Fonzie jumped the shark," I said. "You jumped the mob. You earned that nickname today." "You also earned the spare room over our business," said Hank. |

ποΈΒ Arthur Fonzarelli-- "Fonzie"; played by Henry Winkler-- was friends with most of the main characters of the sitcom. Happy Days. By the time Season 5 arrived, the series as people had known it was almost finished: Fonzie's friends were graduating high school and either going to college or joining the army; newer characters were being introduced while others were being phsed out. Although the series would air for another 6 seasons, Peak Happy Days was reached and was running out of steam. So during Season 5, Episode 3 ("Hollywood: Part 3") Fonzie was presented with the challenge of water skiing over a shark. This is the origin of the expression "to jump the shark"; it's a signal of something entring the downhill phase of its run or life. ποΈΒ In other Fonzie-related news, he became a tenant of the Cunningham family early in the series. Over the Cunningham's garage was a spare space the family had for rent, and they rented it to Fonzie. It's why viewers saw Fonzie spend as much time at Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard)'s house as he spent at Arnold's drive-in restaurant or elsewhere. |

Lindsay found herself overwhelmed by the show of emotion & praise. It had been years since she practiced her BMX skills; she noticed she still had it in her. Back in formation, engines roared; Felix Legion rode out of Tucumcari. |
---|
ποΈΒ This is the first time we learn about Lindsay Etxeberria's history with motorcycles. BMX bikes are different from the cruisers or touring bikes the rest of Felix Legion ride. Lindsay even mentioned this to Rhonda Bella Guardia the day she received the Victory motorcycle as a gift from Rhonda. |
