Photo of Gary Fisher, with long hair and one of those head protectors that are mostly air, carrying a cyclocross bike up a hill in a forest. Fisher won the TransAlp race in Europe and a Masters XC national title.

Before becoming one of the godfathers of mountain biking, Gary Fisher did a bit of road, track, & cyclocross racing. He was kicked off the circuit in 1968 for long hair (really!) and reinstated in '72, when they changed the rule.

Happy #BicycleBirthday Gary Fisher!

I don’t know about you, but every day I’m gobsmacked by how many people are surprised at what’s happening even after Project 2025 put it all in writing.

Best 3 minutes you will spend on the internet today.

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

Don’t look away

Here’s what was NOT released today:

- the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ

- the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed

- communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison

- the Epstein files

This cloud reminded me of Olivia the Pig.

Why Did Cars Get So Hard to See Out Of? If it seems like forward visibility has gotten worse, you’re right: Since the 1990s, cars and trucks have grown bigger A-pillars that can create dangerous blind spots.

You know that post btw a car’s windshield and side window? It’s called an A-pillar – and it’s becoming a problem.

A-pillars are expanding, enlarging driver blind zones and concealing pedestrians at crosswalks.

Blame car bloat, as well as ill-conceived federal rules.

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

Conservatives had a 25% lead in January, now defeated after Trump got involved.

I hope that ALL of Congress is watching.

What’s the opposite of “medias touch”?

What would encourage you to add to the baby supply?

The rule of law has been replaced by rule of dementia Wall Street has decided Trump is too mentally unstable to trust.

24. As Bloomberg’s Michael Regan said Tuesday, the US is now a “high volatility regime market.”

Because Trump is.
