Tippi 🐾 and I say thanks for the follows! I don‘t post alot about politics. That doesn’t mean I’m not involved, I support organizations that can fight more effectively than I can. I like to share the beauty of my desert world.🌵We need to remember that our beautiful world 🌎 is worth fighting for.
Great ride 🚴‍♂️ today. 38 miles. Tippi 🐾joined us today. She’s a pretty good cyclist. #westie

Speaking of #ProjectBlue take a look at THIS guy 🤬
So condescending, so wrong on the facts! ACC Commissioner Lopez doesn't know or care about any of the details of Project Blue, how it moved through our local government, or even about its water use. He tried to use his dais to demean and embarrass his constituents, and ended up embarrassing himself.

Stopped by the MSA Annex for some coffee at Decibel and found that Hidden Hearth Bakery is now open. 😀Do not go here! I want it all to myself! Got a loaf of organic ground Hopi corn blended with sourdough bread. 🍞 #tucson

25 mile 🚴‍♂️ ride this morning. Still recovering from a recent overuse injury, so just riding shorter distances for now. 36 degrees (windchill=27)🥶 at the start. Hot London Fog (Earl Grey Tea, Milk, Vanilla) and a warm 🥯 at Ren. Saw a Red Tail Hawk and a C-17 landing at Davis-Monthan AFB. #cycling

One of the most important things you can do right now is convince family and friends that Trump & Co. threaten the future of everyone they love. It’s not “the same old politics,“ which many people carefully ignore. They’ve got to get involved.
If we can defeat apathy, we can defeat the fascists.

Joined #tucson #resistors in front of Rep Ciscomani’s office this morning. There were lots of honks, waves and thumbs up of support. Felt good to participate😀. I saw just a couple “thumbs down” in cars, hopefully those people noticed the massive support and begin to question their beliefs.

ICE raids happening right now at Taco Giro's at 2750 W Valencia, at 610 N Grande, and 8320 N Thornydale. Show up at one of them if you can to protest and do video recordings. Do NOT talk to authorities.

40 mile 🚴‍♂️ this morning. Knee is still a little wonky post El Tour but overall it was a good ride. Chilly (41) 🥶 at the start but very pleasant on the return trip. Saw a Bobcat on the path on the Santa Cruz by the reclamation facility. #tucson #cycling

If Senator Mark Kelly does not win the Democratic Nomination for President he should be the Senate Minority/Majority Leader. He is what a leader looks, talks and acts like….

Since my knee is only semi-functional today after yesterday’s ride 🚴‍♂️ I thought it would be a good day for Christmas 🎄music and to get started on the Spiced Strawberry-Cranberry Christmas 🍓Jam. Tippi 🐾 is always ready to help in the kitchen. #westie #christmas #canning

42nd El Tour de Tucson today. Rode the Metric Century (100km). Great weather at first but then it was very windy😕strong enough to blow you around a bit and it was a headwind for 25 miles. Hoped to beat last years time, but the wind 💨 had other ideas. Final time 4:38. 11,000 riders. #tucson #cycling
