And as usual, the WSJ headline sane-washes Trump’s insanity. 👎

We should be so lucky! 🙃

My warranty started to expire at 70. A couple of stints in the emergency room. My heart lost some strength but is doing ok. I changed my goals. It’s hours not miles. Fun counts more than fast. I groomed a riding companion who has turned out very well. We enjoy backwoods rides, just the two of us.

Another gorgeous day on the Roman Road. This cross is just a tiny bit worse for wear. I am too tonight, it was longer and more difficult than I anticipated. 😛

Yes, a rise in oil prices is his fondest wish.

Today…

My cycling attitude….

This…

I got drafted when a Democrat decided to go to war and get thousands of draftees killed for essentially nothing. So I would say she has a point.

It was an unexpectedly magical day. There was just enough snow to make an interesting and photogenic ride to the lake and back.

This only matters to those who participate in the farce that is corporate media.

If by “you” you mean the nepo baby corporate oligarchy which controls the vast majority of wealth, then yeah.

Sadly Cowardly Congress adjourned for the weekend on Friday January 8, right after the January 6th attacks. Trump cult members were stationed at the airports to harass legislators. All momentum to hold the perpetrators was lost.
If an attack on Congress isn’t enough to convene on Saturday what is?

New York State privatized the birth certificate process and made it much more difficult. Also it takes ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY DAYS to get your birth certificate. I ordered mine in September 2025 and I won’t get it until April 2026.
Start now! 😵‍💫

It’s so hard to be hopeful these days.

Cruel white nationalists have taken over the USA. It is a shithole country.

It kind of reminds me of the Grands Goulets, a route which sadly has been permanently closed.

I don’t want batteries.
I don’t want firmware.
I like external cables.
I rode single speed MTB for many years.
I miss my track bike.
Simplicity where art thou?

Great photo! 👍

Mr Pretti was carrying a gun, but he did NOT take it out!
He was murdered because he had a gun that never left its holster.
It’s like a man at a children’s playground. Every man has a penis with him. You go to jail when you take it out!
They are ignoring he second amendment!! Hypocrites!!!

I was almost interested until I saw it was made in the US. No orange clown 🤡 products for me!

Why is his interviewer nodding along like an effen’ bobble head?

I have 0/3 desire to ever go back to the US.
