Run, cycle, lift a little. Blue dot in a rural red county in a blue state. Caregiver to adult son. Married, retired, working down the todo list so I can retire.
Thinking about tripping led to tripping and a dramatic crash (in the dirt, not on the flume or in the water - whew!).

Gravel biking isn’t always biking.

After yesterday’s hike, I slept all night for the first time in weeks.

Me: “What things should I buy now because tariffs are going to increase the price by 25% or 50% or 124% or 3514% or there might not even be any at any price?”
Me: "I should probably spend less because of the possible collapse of the USA as we know it"

Also me: "Dual sided power meter pedals for my gravel bike are now sub $1000? Sounds tempting..."

Here is a not nice scary mushroom after smashing its way through compacted soil - “velvet hammer”.

We had the best time at Point Lobos watching mom and baby harbor seals frolicking and nuzzling. In this pic they’re under water near the cave’s mouth.

I’ll trust the Prosecco.

None of my footprints were Escher material cuz I didn’t want to step in the big puddles. Almost 26 mi this week, and 80 mi on the bike, yay me. #running

Today’s ride was a PAVEMENT ONLY ride. I did not carry hydration. My RIDESEC is clean. #gravelbike

One could say he EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS - extra people, and he doesn’t even know who they might have been, were well informed. Good job!
Hegseth: My job, as it said, on top of that, everybody's seen it now. Team update is to provide updates in real time, general updates in real time. Keep everybody informed. That's what I did. That's my job.

I called my rep Tom McClintock to as him to hold these incompetent buffoons accountable, to kick some ass! Let’s see if he does, errr, anything.
Read. This. Story.

(One of many sub-themes: It is too bad that Insane Clown Posse is already taken as a name, because that's the title these people are earning every day. But this episode is genuinely amazing.)
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Back then it was a book. Now it’s a miniseries. We’re several seasons in, and the writers have run out of ideas and are recycling old material.
wanna feel old? it used to be Crime AND Punishment

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

Today I got to run 5mi in my old stomping grounds, along the Embarcadero in SF. Strava’s intelligent take 🤣:
