"Back in the High Life Again" was playing at the grocery store last night. I briefly sang along and my wife looked at me and said she'd never heard that song before. I thought it was everywhere and unmissable.

I got a pretty new bike but I still spend way too much time looking at pictures of other pretty bikes online. Was kind of weird to see it show up in Velo Orange's stories though.

There is a ciclovia in Mueller today at the same time as the school district is having its all city choral festival a few blocks away, also in Mueller.

I'm very happy to have found a barbershop within a mile of my house, with bike racks right outside the door, and a barber that I like.

I don't understand why the city put a two-way protected bike lane on the side of Airport Blvd that runs next to railroad tracks and doesn't have any destinations on it. Is it supposed to be an express lane between 51st and 45th?

My collection of Ash singles is a source of great happiness. Angel Interceptor is such a good song.
Happy 30th anniversary to “Angel Interceptor” by Ash. One of the b-sides is a cover of “Gimme Some Truth” which seems fitting as today would’ve been John Lennon’s 85th birthday.

I had a driver get mad at me this morning because I shook my head at them after they blew through a crosswalk I was walking in and missed hitting me by a foot or so.
He stopped and asked me if we had a problem. Eventually he said that it was early and he's tired, but he tried.

I used a day off to take my wife's bike to the shop and then rode it around after the repairs were complete. Her little Riese and Müller is so much fun to ride. I want it.

I saw a neighbor loading a very small child on the back of their bike this morning and now I want to befriend that neighbor on the basis of "I saw them on a bike once."

I got the album "Celeste" by the Soundcarriers a week ago and I've been listening to it a lot. Lots of fun sounds. Reminds me a little bit of more melodic Broadcast.

I'm struggling to get my head around the complete defoliation of the trees on my street. It looks like winter and feels like summer. I don't know if they'll have the energy to produce enough leaves to survive the summer.
