After riding my bike up in the mountains in mountain lion territory for 30+ years, I have some wisdom to share.
Whenever possible, try to ride with a circus performer. The reason for this is simple. While mountain lion attacks are rare, when they do attack, I’m told they always go for the juggler.

It appears Silicon Valley may have jumped the shark. I spotted a Hello Kitty McLaren in downtown Los Altos. Everyone please reallocate your investment portfolios accordingly.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

When Trump took office, the NLRB had 24 separate investigations into Musk’s corporations for violating workers’ rights.
But presto...Trump fired three officials at that agency, effectively stalling the board's ability to rule on cases.
See how this works?

An excuse to mention something more phenomenal: John Tyler was president 1841-1845. Born when Washington was president. He has a 97 year old grandson still living today. So 3 people - Tyler, a son, and his son - have been alive during all of the country's presidents' terms. (1789-2024)
