The wind is breezy today. The headwind is punishing, but the tailwind is absolutely amazing. I hit 30 mph on a slight downhill with groceries on board!
For brief minutes, I felt like I was in a vacuum without the asphyxiation problem. #bikesky

Why some parents are ditching minivans for cargo bikes
Many parents are now are forgoing minivans for greener alternatives: cargo bikes. They have been around for decades, but the advent of the electric bike motor has made them much more popular.

My way of untangling jewelry chains, I have daughters. Mechanical pencils and a headlamp work great. The lead works for tight knots, just two clicks keeps it short and less likely to break. Set chain on table and dig into the knot pulling it apart.

Every new smoke study is nothing but bad news.
We'll soon need to use different strategies and tactics that limit firefighter exposure. But can you do that and reduce community smoke exposure too, or will it mean more fire on the landscape longer--and thus more deaths? Another climate quandary.

The American Meteorological Society's formal response to "foundationally flawed" DOE mis/disinformation report on #ClimateChange is excellent & timely. Frankly, I have been more impressed w/@ametsoc.org's ability to effectively meet the moment this year than other scientific professional societies.
New AMS statement outlines five foundational flaws that make the Department of Energy's Climate Synthesis Report "inconsistent with scientific principles and practices."

I participated in amateur radio field day this weekend. I look forward to this every year, I enjoy HF for 24 hours. Three operators made 503 contacts over 24 hours. Practice for future events. I like contesting but only do it on field day. I should try other contests.

Firefighters don’t expect electeds to be part of the culture, but it would help if they tried to respect it. This is absolute disrespect and it’s another pro-cancer move by this crew.
NEW: When a firefighter dies, a small team of federal health workers helps pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents in the future.
Trump laid off nearly all of them.

He’s happy to cash a taxpayer-funded paycheck but too scared to face the people he’s supposed to represent. Pathetic.

While I like the reduced traffic, congestion tax gives me pause when I think about it spreading. Then I think about people that can't afford it being priced out of an area or even locked in an area. That needs thought.

In recent years, I've been reading more books. I bounce between fiction and nonfiction. This year I read a Mars trilogy by Kim S Robinson. Abraham Lincoln biographies and more. I just finished "The Soul Of A New Machine" by Tracy Kidder. Inside look at designing a superminicomputer around 1980.

I've tried to decrease my cold weather cycling temperature. I made some pogies from a neoprene wetsuit.
I have a mid-weight neck gaiter, head cover and glasses that cover my head.
Light-weight gloves, fleece jacket, and shorts. I have some synthetic pants when the shorts are too cold.
