My instance mastodon.cloud has been misbehaving all day. I don't know what to do. Jump ship or ride it out.

Today's ride pushed my Eddington Number from 33 to 34. If you're a cyclist and a number nerd the Eddington Number is right up your alley. I blogged about it and started a Strava club. Come join.
