A horse walks into a bar.
"Why the long face?" asks the barman.
"Your lungs hold around 5 litres" replies the horse. "Mine hold 50. I can breathe in almost two THOUSAND litres of air a minute. Big lungs need big noses and big mouths, which need long faces. Centaurs? They'd fucking suffocate, mate"

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.

Thanks to whomever suggested using a kayak lift ($30) for raising my cargo bike for service. No more cursing while trying to remove and install wheels.
Now, it's time to put on studded tires.
