I think your views are better! Though I'm very slow going up, I love riding in mountains and hilly terrain more than the flats.

I live where you vacay...it's almost always a beautiful day on the Gulf in SWFL.

YouTube video by Englewood Cycling: Let's Ride Florida's Gulf Coast St. Pete Pier to The Bikery bike shop via downtown section of Pinellas Trail

Brendan and I rode from The Bikery in St. Petersburg, FL, to the North Skyway Fishing Pier along Interstate 75, then back to downtown for a 30-mile ride that was mostly on the Pinellas Trail.

This video highlights the 3-mile portion from St. Pete Pier back to The Bikery. Along 1st Ave South.

Exclusive: The White House is looking to replace Pete Hegseth as defense secretary The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Not sure why @PressSec and @POTUS don't just ignore this #hitpiece from @NPR so it'll just go away like the #fakenews that it is...maybe because it's true???

Survivor of unprecedented melioidosis outbreak says he died twice Army veteran Mathew Whitbread, 49, was fit and healthy when he contracted melioidosis while mud crabbing in north Queensland. It nearly killed him.

Sixteen people have died from the soil-borne disease since the start of the wet season.

Scary. Must read for Australians, especially up north or travellers.

3) You start the “Date” with breakfast with your love at the location of your own choosing, then have lunch with the group at the end and complete the day by booking a room in Punta Gorda. 4) Some if not most of us opted to drive home after beers and cheers at Celtic Ray Public House. 2/2

YouTube video by Englewood Cycling: Let's Ride Florida's Gulf Coast Great Date Ride 2025

The ride is their annual Great Date Ride, which is one-way from Venice south to Punta Gorda. The general scheme of the ride is that 1) it’s in February, near if not on Valentine’s Day. 2) Your date drops you off at the start and meets you about 6-7 hours later at the end. 1/2

The rule of war is - whoever started the war, must pay. Putin started the war. We have $300 billion of frozen Russian assets in Europe. But that is not enough - President Zelenskyy.

I took a screenshot, which I texted to a friend. This morning, I opened that text and right there on my keyboard, the word jumped out at me. Why didn't this happen last night!!?? 😁 2/2

Yesterday's #Wordle was a complete bust for me after five guesses. I just couldn't visualize a guessable word for my Sixth guess and I had attempted way-tok-many random combinations to no avail, so I threw up my hands in defeat. This was an all-day attempt, starting B4 work and again after.

It would be great if they, the streamers, could make it so that when you're new to a show that it only drops weekly by default with an option to allow for binging. 1/3

Some series for my own sense of withholding the need for instant gratification, I might want weekly episode drops so I have something to look forward to every Monday after work or whatever.

I've been kicking this idea around for a while, this thread was my first opportunity to discuss it. 😁 3/3

For example: If I just started watching Severance today, the first episode from both seasons are available but anything else drops 7 days to the hour after my first watch.

If I wanted to catch up to the current season, then I could toggle on Binging mode for that specific series or season. 2/3

It would be great if they, the streamers, could make it so that when you're new to a show that it only drops weekly by default with an option to allow for binging. 1/3

This probably isn't even a spoof.

I have noticed lately that people here on @bsky.app are criticising @nytimes.com for #ElectingTrump but I don't understand where that's coming from.

Just looking for an explanation of that mindset, not criticism of or agreement with it. I'm just curious is all.

We enjoyed the @pattismithh.bsky.social #artistinresidence outdoor exhibit yesterday at #Selbybotanicalgardensspanishpoint

It was our #firsttime at Selby. It's a stunning property; we were lucky to visit on a beautiful #GulfofMexico day. I'm incredibly fortunate to have at Joy to share it with.

....they then meet up with you 7 hours later at Celtic Ray, a popular pub in Punta Gorda. Weather was perfect as was the dirt...just one small sec of sugar and a short stretch of rough grassy road. 2/2

Yesterday local trail advocacy group S.C.O.R.R. organized a 65-Mile one-way ride from Venice to Punta Gorda. The route was mostly off-road. They call it the Great Date Ride because after your date drops you off at the start at Venice's Carlton Reserve ...... 1/2
