How do they stop it from getting fouled up in your spokes whatever?

I love love love my Pearl Izumi screaming yellow windbreaker but then I live in a place where it is always freaking windy...it is stuffable and incredibly light weight.

I know it isn't Holmes' fault that she was assigned to Trump early on in the campaign and now reports on him exclusively. But I detest her and always turn her off. I know it is unfair but I can't help it. I wish they'd just stop reporting on him and his lies.

Thinking economics research has similar issues and it will be one gnarly problem to solve. @justinwolfers.bsky.social

Lee and Maloy move to undo Biden-era Grand Staircase-Escalante rules Utah’s congressional delegation introduced a resolution to roll back the rules that govern the vast monument. Conservation groups worry the move will harm southern Utah’s landscape and protected areas...

While we are paying attention to other shit going on Senator Mike Lee and his cronies are trying once again ti steal our public lands. This is important and will set a precedent if it passes. Contact your Congress members.

View of the osprey nest box after it was cleaned by County staff. After the birds return there is a strict forbiddance on humans messing with the nest.  Up above and to the right you see "Cam One".  This screenshot is from "Cam Two", which is on the ground.  You may notice some wires above the nest.  That is a Goose Baffle to prevent Canada Geese from nesting here.  Once the osprey return, it will quickly be removed.

Side-view of the newly cleaned osprey nest at the Boulder Fairgrounds. County Open Space cleaned out all the crud and now it is ready for occupancy. The osprey are expected at the end of the month. The same female as been returning here for many years. Webcam Screengrab #birds

This short Youtube video shows the work that the Boulder County Open Space people do to clean and maintain the osprey nest each spring before the birds return. #birds

After trying a few different things, this is the "Goose Baffle" that is now used to keep the geese from laying eggs on the nest. Most of the sticks were removed but some remain and that's enough for the clever geese to think this might be a good home.
The plastic owls did not work.

At the Boulder Fairgrounds Osprey Nest the staff have been cleaning out the old crud, polishing the cam dome and working on the posts. All in preparation for the osprey to return in another few weeks.
The Canada Goose couldn't wait to investigate! #birds

There’s a famous Sedaris piece about the argument he had with Hugh over feeding their dog. For the life of me I can’t find it now but I think it was in the New Yorker…

I very rarely turn on CNN because of Scott Fucking Jennings but ran into McGurk and had to turn it off. He’s a dick. And a Trump stooge.

This is true. I do admit to cherry picking the view. Behind me is the quite massive Erie airport… if it ever rains or snows and greens up the trail will be pretty!

I am back from a 20 like bike ride and starving. The soup, bagel, etc sound wonderful!

Some interesting-looking clouds. Kind of waffle-y.

I had one die it the crawl space above my washing machine. Even thinking about it makes my eyes water.

Bubble tech: ‘Human Washing Machine’ uses tiny bubbles for full-body clean with no soap or scrubbing A new pod promises a full-body cleanse with no soap or scrubbing required. Once seated, the roof comes down and water set to 100°F (38°C) starts filling the tub.

Watch: A new pod promises a full-body cleanse with no soap or scrubbing required. Microbubbles and ultra fine bubbles remove dirt and cleanse the skin, no movement required.

I am allergic to most commercial soaps. I can use Vanicream and tolerate some Cerave.

I would welcome this. I’d pay money for it. It just can’t be too hot.

Good. I’m allergic to everything except Vanicream. I’d embrace this tech.

Me too.

Btw I did watch that NOVA
it was interesting
I learned a lot.
I don’t know if you want my interpretation because it would probably suck.

It will take a few weeks… but it will get better.

I just finished the NOVA on the mammals. It was interesting! LOL. wish I had someone to talk to about it. There were a couple of things that sort of bothered me but... in the end... it does seem like they did some pretty great research. Is that your take?
