Retired. I like to ride my bike. Zwifter. Make the world a better place one person at a time.
I got a "You're in the top 1%" message in Strava today for the first time. I was kinda' psyched about that until my son informed me they have 100 million users 😅 #bikesky

This is a turning point.
This is the line we draw.
This is the moment history will remember — when millions stood together to say NO to Trump, Vance, Vought, Theil, and all the corrupt cronies and cult.

#FossilFriday The Lake Mungo 3 skeleton was discovered in 1974 in south eastern Australia and is one of the oldest known red ochre burials (~42ka). The remains have been returned for reburial. Picture from the late Colin Groves.

Friends, we're close to passing HB 3626, the Micromobility (ebikes, scooters) bill, a vital step in allowing youth (14 and up) to enjoy ebikes and build a legal foundation for them. We're out of committee and need to fund the effort for floor votes. Can you chip in $14? www.oregonmicromobility.org

The US desperately needs more doctors, engineers & highly educated workers. But we’re telling students that if they want a higher education, they have to go into debt.
Other countries understand how important it is to invest in their young people. We should be doing the same.

A beautiful, though asymmetric, handaxe. It was made half a million years ago by a person from an early Neanderthal population at Boxgrove, England.
While sediment stained, it is still extremely sharp and would have made a very effective butchery knife.

We can’t arrest our way out of homelessness.
To build safe communities that advance justice for all, we must invest in reaching people with the resources they need, when they need it.

🌈 History Made in Boise!
Boise just became the first city in the nation to officially adopt a Pride flag as a city flag. This isn't just symbolic—it’s a powerful, permanent stand for inclusion and equality.

The older I get the less @ and # mean much to me. I feel the best I can do is to be present and show love to the people I am with. The problem with online activities is that there are nearly zero consequences unless you earn your living doing it.
