Apologies. Currently fighting significant lymphatic condition. May not say โ€˜thanksโ€™ as much as I should โ˜น๏ธ. Hope to be riding roads & trails of Wensleydale again. Depleting my wine collection. ๐Ÿ˜ hills, mountains, some stargazing & tending my flowerbed.

Weโ€™d still be pushing our bikes up there now, even with tiny gears.

At least a modern disc brake bike with fat tyres could be ridden down without certain death!

Iโ€™ve cycled around there quite a bit. It was very โ€˜easyโ€™ to accumulate 2000m+ vertical in 50Km. I think one ride was 80km with 3200m! ๐Ÿฅต

As I wrote, if you think a massive US gulag is being built just for illegal immigrants, along with a federal paramilitary force as large as the Marines, you're a fool. Billions in unaccountable cash from Venezuelan oil, shock troops, and detention camps. This is not a drill.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little to no real oversight.

Watch this and ask yourself how much more evidence a democracy needs before calling corruption by its name. Power without accountability is rot in real time. Every second of this video is a warning: silence is complicity, outrage is overdue. Hit play. Decide what side youโ€™re on. #SoundTheAlarm

" . . . we love the people on the inside," SO much that we kill them, in cold blood, on the streets of our cities. Then we take away their health insurance. We starve them. We jail them without due process. We take away their dignity and their right to make choices for themselves.

An empty bottle of exquisite Bannockburn 2015 Cab/Shiraz stands with its remaining contents in a decanter & glass.

Utterly dry, intense blackcurrant/minerals & fine leather. Long, satisfying finish

Which is why Iโ€™ve reported you.

And blocked you.

You, of course, will not see any of this.

But others will.

Which is why Iโ€™m posting it.

Around here, this is how we deal with trolls of any kind.

Report, block, pass it on.

Byeeeeee.
