The only correct answer for California and New York is to walk away from BEAD.

Agree that the only correct answer is to walk away from BEAD at this point.

I heard it's going to set earlier and earlier until about mid December.

Pueblo State Park can be pretty good riding in January and February. πŸ€”

Yeah, probably. I try to ride all year round. Figure I'll be ready to go strong again but still wanting to avoid falls to prevent re-injury just as the ice and cold weather set in this January. Lol.

Ugh. That's pretty bad! Hope the swelling goes down quickly for both of you. I did ride around Red Fox Meadows some today. I can't get my wrist oriented correctly to ride the gravel bike yet though.

Your hands might be more swollen than mine!

Rode ten miles including some dirt today five weeks after fracturing left hand in four places in an mtb crash. Bones are healing well but everything is still swollen AF and only partially functional.

170+ trick-or-treaters this year. Went through 120
Airheads and 50 Haribo gummy bear packs then started handing out snack packs of Doritos and Fritos and neighbors' leftover candy before calling it a night.

It bears repeating: the opioid epidemic, which has claimed hundreds of thousands of American lives, was sparked by the activities of U.S.-based pharmaceutical companies and distributors. It was a homegrown, man-made plague.

a skeleton pukes into a bucket, a gravebell, a zombie in a hazmat suite, lots more tombstones, zombie hands extend from a wooden grate. lit in reds and purples.

Thank you! @s3thn3ss.bsky.social came over and helped me decorate this year otherwise it wouldn't have happened so truly a group effort. Here's this year's setup. Maybe you'll get a few more trick-or-treaters this year!

It gets wild! A doctor down the street used to hand out full-sized bars then I built my zombie containment unit and monster in a box animatronic props. Eventually word got out so it's our neighborhood plus the surrounding area. No animatronic props or roof wolfs this year.

The most I've had is 250. Last year was 150. I broke my left hand 33 days ago so was unable to decorate as much as last year. I'm guessing at least still 100 even without any word of mouth about my house this year.

Sorry, but as a self-appointed Constitutional scholar, I never made it past the 2nd Amendment and that's after I glossed over most of the 1st Amendment. /snark

ya know giving people directions from the paved bike path to your house is pretty freaking cool.

An old business card from the non-profit, a photo of my engraved name tag I found in the junk drawer, and a photo of my DL were enough apparently. πŸ˜‚

State of Colorado reached out to a non-profit about a PayPal account I opened for them a minute ago. It had a few bucks in it. It was tough getting all the documentation together to get the funds back to the non-profit since I hadn't been associated with them for ten years.

I have a monitored alarm. The fire department showed up. No more smoke machines inside the house.
