Sometimes the anxiety bites at me bad and the only thing that can stave it off is exercise.
So I went for a walk.
And we kept walking.
And walked some more.
Dark. Crisp air. Silent pavement. We just walk.
The lights twinkle. The wind whispers.
5 miles later, the brain noise ceases. For now.

This week in Car Free life: mid century modern end table from FB Marketplace.
Pretty solid wood construction, but still wanted to detach the legs and wrap in a blanket.
$20, 20 minutes each way, and now I have a lovely little table for my living room. Easy peasy.

Oh hey Minneapolis pals, can you keep an eye out for my tandem bike?
It was swiped from my Lyndale garage, and it's on the middle of repairs so I'm sure it'll be ditched soon. Missing one back pedal, weird back seat post, significant rust. But this bike means a lot to us and we'd like it back.

Habemus Papam: we have a new Pope.
Cali cat is thrilled. For the 1.4 Catholics in the world (and even for us non-practicing former CCD kids), today is a huge occasion. And even for non-Catholics, the Pope serves as a world leader and holds a lot of influence.

Although I have the rental car to get to my last 2 weeks of work, this is my main vehicle.
Quick grocery run: two panniers (they clip onto the cart!) and a backpack. Easy peasy. Even $5 egg carton made it home safe.

Moving an entire apartment via bicycles!
@ianrbuck.bsky.social is moving across town, so we got three ebikes and a few trailers and got to work. 2 trips later and Ian's place has desks, a bed, table, bookshelf and a couch!

Lyndale, Kingfield, Uptown pals, anyone recognize this cat?
Dilute calico, very treat and food motivated, tolerates being picked up, very loud meow.
She's warm inside my house but I can't keep her in the bathroom for more than the weekend.

What's everyone's snowless wintertime activities?
Trying to come up with more cutesy dates with the boy. And we've got snow and ice dates down, but what about those gray, chilly days we have here?

Like, my friends commissioned an art piece of me one time.
I was hundreds of miles away and they did this beautiful thing for me.
I've had friends draw me birds, paint my nails, send me niche memes about my DND characters.

Ope two weeks late but I was inspired by St Paul library's laser loon card.
Local libraries are the backbone of our communities. They're warm quiet places, open, free, and full of resources. Escaping into a book is one of the greatest joys we have.

Indoor training.
I'll probably never compete again, I hated it.
But I love transporting things on the bike, getting my friends outside for a ride, slowing down and enjoying the world at 10-12mph.
So I don't train for races anymore. I train for future joy, more miles and more smiles.

What's scarier than running out of treats on Halloween?
Forgetting to vote!
If you're eligible and registered, you can get to the polls early, or get out to your polling place on Tuesday.
And remember, it's not just the person for the white house, your local elections are very important too!
