Road Cycling season ahoy! A fast FYI for #CyclingBlueSky about me:
* I support Tadej Pogačar & Jasper Philipsen. (& many others, but they are my 🌟 guys)
* I don't do flame wars or ragebaiting. Supporting riders is much more fun!
* I have to get up early for races, ya'll. Have mercy on me. 💤😆

Good morning, and Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! 🦃
While the myth around the holiday is just that, a myth, the idea of a day to be thankful is still a solid one. I am more than grateful for all that I have and for all of you. ❤️
Also, it’s a great day to donate to the First Nations!

Welp, it’s finally #StrangerThings Day, but…I can’t watch until Sunday night at the earliest. Visitors staying at my place from this afternoon to Sunday morning…and they don’t watch Stranger Things at all. 😳

Also, the Elite races are geoblocked on YouTube, so Flo it is, meh.

I went out on an escort ride with my runner friend this morning, and we were charged by a pack of large hunting dogs.
I skidded to a stop in front of my runner, held up my hands, and yelled “STOP!” They must have been trained, because they did stop, but we had to retreat quickly and carefully.

Yeeeoooooww....usually I don't watch trailers for movies because they give WAY too much away.
But since I've read Project Hail Mary, I was cool with watching the trailer for the upcoming movie in March, and...

Recommended by a friend (who later reread it and said it was more annoying than they remembered), this wasn’t a bad read, but was desperately trying too hard to be cool and edgy. Can’t decide whether it was a homage or ripoff of Dresden Files. 🤔
