A few years ago I found that polakoff.com was vacant, it seemed like a good idea to register it. Among other things it give me an easy email address to remember, my first name@my last name. So drop me an email if you've got something to say.

I've got a flickr page if you want to look at some pictures, I flew airplanes for about 30 years for a living so you'll find lots of flying pictures, I'm a bicycle nut so there's a bunch of bicycle pictures. We just finished a room addition so a bunch of construction shots.

I spent almost 8 years in the U.S. Navy there are a few pictures of the old days there also.

Clocks and watches are a passion of mine that is mechanical clocks and watches.

After flying most of my life I retired and went to work for REI, 7 miles from my house I generally bicycle back and forth to work and plan on working there well into my 70s at least.

I've had multiple web sites over the years, most of them centered around bicycles, if you're someone who is used to coming to my web site to see bicycles, here's a link to the old site "click here" or "here".

My lovely wife creates hand made beaded jewelry, go here to see her web site.

"Civil disobedience, that’s not our problem. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem."
