Rider of bikes. Maker of food. Sometimes I take pictures. Eau Claire, WI
It’s a sunny and windy day today in Eau Claire and as I didn’t feel like dealing with the wind on my bike, I swapped my normal Saturday morning bike ride for a long walk and managed to snap this picture of some goldenrod along the way.

Your members voted for this. I’m honestly confused here. What’s the point in supporting and voting for Democrats when they vote for shit like this?

Hell yes!

All I know about New Jersey politics is that tonight’s election for governor was a rout.

Looks like the D’s are gonna take VA pretty easily.

Hey EC,
Shift is doing an eggs, milk, and butter drive. Looks like people are really stepping up, but more is always good.

Chicago is very flat. Flat places great for getting around on bikes.

Mount Rainer is hiding in there somewhere.

Most people probably don’t think single family homes and street trees when they hear Chicago, but there’s quite a lot of it.

Went for a little 12 mile spin around town today. This was almost entirely on off street bike paths and low traffic streets. Pretty cool.

They’re calling it The New Science Building. I call it the Hulking-Bulking-Monolith-Of-Doom.

Went for a nice long walk and got to hangout by the Chippewa River for a while. With EVERYTHING going on, that hangout time was much needed

Reading The Heavy Weight by Cathy Malkasian, a book with a gay lead character. Also have a book about two trans girls waiting to be read. I can’t help but think about how far the political consultants and elites are removed from common people and culture. ‘Cause this stuff is dead common.

Biked to the library tonight and had a driver come at me just casually driving down Barstow completely in the wrong lane. They got back on the right side after a bit and, despite coming straight at me, never saw me. Here’s what it looks like on Google Maps.

A close shave, but I made it home from my evening walk just in front of the #storm.

Kinda fun to read a book set in #CheneyWA, a small town I’ve lived in twice.

Loop up to High Bridge for some cool views and, thanks to a new bike trail on the west side of town, is entirely off street. There’s not much for sight-lines on some of the road crossings, so be extra careful about that. Lots of tree cover!

Not sure if there’re any #UWEC #students on here, but I was heading to Duncan’ this morning and popped mapping on to show how to get there from the dorms.
Super easy. 2.4 miles. There’s a bike path along Clairemont and underpass to get you across Hastings.

We’ve got a pretty good little summer storm kicking off. I’d miss these if I moved back to the PNW.

It had been a while since I’d been up by the dam when the river was at flood stage, so I headed up there today. The view never disappoints.
