Remember Republicans want you dead.

You’re adopting a dog? I hope it’s a Labrador.

Weird, another one.

Here in Chicagoland the smoke has been almost constant since early July. Welcome to the new normal.

Well trump has found a way to make American sober.

It may feel intimidating, but your itinerary is doable.

I mean, yes they’re fascist, but that’s not how the Constitution works.

Remember Republicans want you dead. Trashing the law of the land is a minor inconvenience to them.

Exactly! But then the raw milk people are just foot soldiers in the ‘Republicans want you dead’ war on humanity. And yes I’ve spent time working on farms and being around dairy herds.

There’s something so charming about seeing people dressed up for special occasions choosing to take a bicycle instead of a car—and it can be done even if you have to transport things like flowers and a kid. Photo courtesy of @paparidesabike.bsky.social, used with permission.

Borrowed (ahem) form another. I can not verify this data. It is consistent with other info I've read on road surface breakdown.

You are a master!

Rinse them off and act like you own the place.

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

It’s Easy to Hate Traffic Cameras. But They Do Save Lives. They raise issues of fairness, and critics claim they’re only about revenue. More speed and red-light cameras, however, would prevent a lot of deaths and injuries.

Yes, traffic cameras work, but it's a myth that people hate them!

Survey after survey shows that most people support automatic enforcement (and often want more of it).

This is a false controversy, fed by a minority of disgruntled drivers & journalists seeking narratives with conflict.

Another load for the fence project. 80 pounds of concrete mix and a roll of temp fencing on the heavy lift trailer. The 4x4s to the left came in on an earlier cargo bike trip.

Just another cargo biking day. Trip to Costco for filters and food. Looped by Lowe’s on the way back for 80 pounds of concrete mix and a 50’ roll of plastic temp fencing. 14-15 miles. No hydrocarbons consumed.

Today would be a good day to release the Epstein Files.

Unredacted.

In their entirety.

Ha thought that beam pattern look familiar. Lezne E115 is my favorite light. Have them on all 3 of our e-assist bikes. It's really nice for touring on rural roads. Good choice.

That's one nice headlight beam pattern.

Most cyclist own cars and pay taxes. Fuel tax covers less than 10% of road building/repair cost. Local and state road projects are funded 70-90% by state and federal funds that come from general taxation. That's cyclist and people who are car free. The economy prioritizes environmental destruction.

Well trump is now well below expectations. Maybe its Epstein's fault?

Disasterology: June 2025 We are doing a chill, low-stakes newsletter this month.

Resiliency. Being ready to manage the impacts for 3-7 days is a successful strategy. Running with a tiny backpack is a path to death by predator (likely human) or exposure. Got shelter, services, folks to team up with? Stay put.
