When the lower lift at Massanutten isn't running, they let me drive my car up to the base of the upper lift. #Mtb

I felt something odd as I grabbed this part of the railing on my way down the steps of the deck.

Focusing on the steps, I barely noticed something crawling on my pinky finger.

By the time I realized it was a wasp, I had already been stung twice and a swarm was forming around me.

South Germantown Bike Park is a great place to get some air time. 🚴

On April 5, I posted 2 predictions about #measles cases.

If there are 77 new cases in the next 2 weeks, we'll hit the 1,274 milestone by July exactly as predicted.

I would prefer to be wrong.

A key detail I spotted in the CDC's weekly #measles update today:

The number of outbreaks in the US has increased from 7 to 10 this week. It was 3 for a while and then steadily increased until this jump.

The locations of the 3 new outbreaks are not clear to me.

Over 5 weeks into the ongoing measles outbreak and cases seem to be growing at a steady rate of ~70 per week.

I'm glad that it does not appear to be accelerating, but I would have hoped to see it slow down by now considering that the incubation period is 2 weeks.

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away...

While the king was looking down,
the jester stole his thorny crown.

The courtroom was adjourned.
No verdict was returned.

Had to trim this one down to the 1 minute limit. I really did not expect to get both feet on the slackline with all that puff in the way.

This one is not from vine. I don't recall if it has ever been posted anywhere...

The blind footwork took more practice to adapt to the suit than other movements did.

Scaling walls presented the challenge of holding my weight about an arms length away from the wall to avoid scraping the belly of the suit.

Something about the flappy arms adds an element of charm.

Running on a railing while unable to see my feet was pure terror.

That climb up with the heel hook looks super goofy, but it really does work.

Reposting old gems since the best platform for short form video is no longer with us. #vine #parkour

Hopping into 2025 with a little flow to kick off the new year.

Irresponsible reporting to question the bike lane like that...

I can see how the bumpout presents a problem when combined with bad driving, but the bike lane is clearly not part of the problem.
