My weekday AM bike commute to downtown St. Paul, MN, Jackson to 10th street bike path.

Happy to have the book #LifeAfterCars @thewaroncars.bsky.social, picked up at my favorite downtown St. Paul MN bookstore @subtextbookstore.bsky.social.

With the passing of Jane Goodall today, we lost one of the most consequential voices in environmental science and animal behavior. In 2002, she said, “We have found that…there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.”

My PM Bike commute from downtown St Paul to Roseville, MN.
The last minute highlights the new bike lane squeezed on to Dale Street, part of the Dale Street reconstruction between Como Ave and County B.
The background music is "The Poor People of Paris".

I had the right-of-way, bike lit up like a landing strip, cross signal in my favor. This $#@^* in the red suv left turned across the bike path. Was more important than the law, or another's life. Northbound Jackson & 12th, St. Paul in the PM.
Nothing kills a good mood faster than a stupid driver.
