I biked to my favorite lunch spot today to enjoy a burrito before summer ends
Meanwhile, federal secret police are active in my town sneaking into school parking areas and kidnapping parents of my son's classmates
I don't have a lot of ideas for how to deal with that

at Glacier national park for a work retreat. Pretty spectacular scenery.
First one is avalanche lake from a beautiful 8-mile run, second one down the Lake Mcdonald valley, third one from a trail run behind our hotel.
I forgot the bear spray for that run but thankfully was not eaten by a grizzly

We are in an unusual era in NBA history during which 2-point and 3-point attempts are yielding roughly the same points per shot
