We were iced in. Between the kid's fibro and my arthritis, we couldn't get far enough ahead of the snow before it turned to freezing rain. The arrow shows how far we got before we got trapped. About half way down we switched from "wide enough for the car" to "wide enough to get the trash out." Still no joy.

Our neighbor was kind enough to lend us her garden shovel (pointy) to break up the ice late this afternoon, and we're making headway again.

I forgot what a mess it is

Last Sunday, while sipping my morning brew, an impulsive light bulb went off in my head. It said, "You will ride a bike in Denmark; you will ride to three nearby cities."

I am not a sporty guy whatsoever, but it sounds fun… on paper.

I am unprepared to ride 150 km in a few days, and I expect to die 500 times an hour.

The #Covid #inquiry report makes it clear: #Britain was completely and fatally #unprepared | Devi Sridhar https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/18/uk-government-covid-covid-inquiry-report-britain-pandemic

The UK must never succumb to such shocking complacency again. Planning for the next pandemic must start now
