Sucker for charismatic fauna, sff and food. Probably on trail or in the water, trying to ignore politics

Ridiculous police presence blocking peaceful marchers
W Palm Police pleasant/professional (no paramilitary gear) but crossing the bridge into PB State Police raced by at excessive speed - greeted by riot ready cops
No badges/names, no communication w/ crowd & no justification for blocking protest

Sometimes it’s worth stopping a workout and getting off the bike to appreciate the view. The pics aren’t great but the Spoonbills always are

Today I learned a theory of the names origin: thole pins on row boats aka “dildos” this led to the discovery of these thole pins from the Titanic’s lifeboat #9

Strolling by an alligator and friend. An excellent way to not focus on the urge to comment on politics.

Finally, a gator large enough and positioned in a way to make me reroute
