I did some crazy distance cycling back when I was younger, but Forester always rubbed me the wrong way on just about everything. He was the reason that local clubs were unsupportive of trails and bike lanes when input was requested, and those attitudes persist in many of my older cycling friends.

Another thing, houses have gotten a lot bigger. Today people are appalled at the thought of purchasing an 800-900 square foot single bath home, but that was what I and most of my classmates grew up in.

I should check this out. I read Hitchhikers Guide while trekking around Nepal ~25 years ago. Strange book in a strange land, it somehow had a big impact on me, in a positive way. It also generated a lot of strange dreams.

I had a friend growing up who would take his ball and go home whenever he didn't get his way. I guess he was a great dealmaker, just like Trump.

Two million voters expected, one million will leave if they don’t get their way. Mamdani way ahead in polls. It doesn’t even math very well. A million New Yorkers will flee to Florida for the holidays soon though, just as they do every year.

He instantly screwed over his loyal messengers who were towing the “60 votes“ line.
Also, if they use the “nuclear” option, they will totally own the impact of cutting healthcare for millions going into an election year. I’m still hoping for a different outcome, but if they do it they own it.

About 15 years ago, conversation with my primary care physician:
Dr: No flu shot yet?
Me: I'm inconsistent. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
Dr: Not how this works. Every single time you get it it does some damage. Why do that?
Me: I haven't missed a flu (or covid) shot since then.
