I loved this pale yellow Trek Calypso bike for many years but finally had to accept that I am no longer strong or physically confident enough to ride it on the roads. Luckily there’s an organization nearby that uses donated bikes to train young people in #bicycle repair and maintenance and they were eager to have it. Goodbye, beloved friend. I hope you’ll make someone else as happy as you made me!

When I took this I was on my way home from a local plant nursery. Happy days!

There's this thing now where about a week ahead we get forecasts of good amounts of rain, then closer to the day we can see the storm approaching, then on the day we get no or almost no rain but *all the wind* and everything is more dried out than it was before.

Now they're calling for over an inch of rain on Monday and we're already speculating how quickly the forecast rain amounts will dwindle and how much wind to expect instead. Lawns are browning. We can't seem to break out of this drought.

@axiixc I just saw an article about the spraying of an herbicide around Tahoe. That's really bad stuff. The article didn't even mention that chemical's connections with Parkinson's disease.

I hate to agree with the MAHA movement about anything 😅 but the ones objecting to this are right imo. It's not a healthy way for the areas to recover from wildfire.

Not my business and there's probably nothing you can do anyway but it's something I feel strongly about.

It’s wonderful to care about something to a ridiculous degree. Doesn’t matter a lot what it is.

especially on days like this
