Very good photo editing in the Guardian (the photograph is by Toby Melville for Reuters)
A clip of the Guardian UK front page. The headline is "Prince Andrew to be stripped of titles and forced to leave Windsor home). The photograph is the now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor standing next to the King. Charles is pointing sternly at something to the left out of frame, and in the clip he is pointing to the sub headline stories, like "Timeline: the fall of Prince Andrew."

Always fun to see a hearse with my name on it parked outside my kid’s school.
A black Cadillac hearse with a sign that says “Epstein” behind the B-pillar parked outside of Congregation Beth Tikvah. The Epstein chapel is a big funeral home in the Jewish community in central Ohio. No relation as far as I know to me or to that other Epstein.

Two photos about half a day apart - a late night ride to the store last night to get firewood and a late morning ride today to the playground. A very practical vehicle.

Commuting to and from school is the GOAT.
A bunch of goats behind a fence next to Antrim Lake, alongside the Olentangy Trail. The goats are there to clear vegetation from the banks. A kid is standing on the other side of the fence, next to an Urban Arrow bakfiets. Another kid is still in the bike. Both kids like the goats, but were adamant that the goats were not as cool as the cows we saw in Vermont last week.

Here’s a photo from earlier this week of hauling both my compact folding bike and a full-sized steel Surly frameset I’m building up.

A tale of two Terns (the tiny red Vektron is mine, the giant green Orox is for a customer). @ternbicycles.com
A small red folding city bike parked next to a giant green fat tire trail bike. Both are Tern bikes, both are awesome.

Nice day for a rainy ride to the grocery store with good bulk legumes.

Late night bike shop raid. I took my foldie to the bike shop this evening, and brought back a loaner bike. Then I went back in my bakfiets and came back home with the foldie in the bucket.

One of those vehicles is more practical than the other (the Cadillac looks pretty cool though)

One of the teachers is driving my kids home tomorrow, so I brought two car seats to school this afternoon. #carryshitolympics

I tuned up my ~10YO Fuji roadbike up for the first time since I became a bike mechanic. It’s a lot of fun to ride such a light frame. I still don’t like dropbars. My summer project is to replace the dropbars with a flat, and upgrade the brakes to hydraulic.

I got to put together this @ternbicycles.com Quick Haul Long bike today. A really practical and thoughtfully designed bike.

Bought a 6’ ladder so I can clean out my gutters. Very easy to take it home. #CarryShitOlympics #bikesky

Nope! Didn’t take mine out until this afternoon when my 5YO and I went to check out the mud at the CCS school where he will be a kindergartener next year.

Got my @thebugle.bsky.social LP in the post. Can’t listen to it now because A: Sport and B: Need to get a preamp to listen to vinyl again.
