I created a Starter Pack of folks who have attended at least one (1) or more Joyful Riders Club or 30 Days of Biking events in the Twin Cities, as well as adjacent organizations! Please let me know if you want to be added—still room to add about 80 people. go.bsky.app/UDWRiVQ
Yesterday I was telling Iskra about a girlfriend I had before I married her mama and she said, “You seem like the type of guy who would have a lot of girlfriends. Just like Taylor Swift.” 😂

Looks like I need to learn how to lubricate a garage door now.

I played “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins for the girls and it was kind of comical how quiet they got as they listened to it.

OKC is painful to watch. Good for them for all the wins but they’re annoying.
Everybody asleep? Good.

There’s an NBA team that’s 21-1. I feel like the last time a defending champion was going for the all-time wins record at a pace like this it was everywhere in the sports media world. Now nobody/that same ecosystem seems to care all that much.

My top album of the year was Folklore by Taylor Swift. 😂 It’s a few years old now.

The Wolves were like a boa constrictor playing with its food for three quarters. Then the squeeze began.

I got a crown on my tooth today and I always forget how unhappy a crown makes me.

I’d love to watch this Timberwolves game but I have some dishes to wash.

I’m ignoring that the Wolves are struggling against the Pelicans (3–19). I’m noticing that Jeremiah Fears seems like a great rookie pick for the Pelicans!

Today is Amber Deneen’s birthday

She should be turning 31 today. Do not forget her. My heart breaks for her life ended too soon. For her husband as he goes through life after witnessing this horrific tragedy. And for her family and friends who lost a loved one.
A pedestrian was killed in a hit and run in my neighborhood today by someone in a black SUV flying down St. Anthony Avenue near the Aldine pedestrian bridge.

Neighbors have been pleading with the city for *years* to do something about people speeding and blowing stop signs on St Anthony.

In Segway's defense, small electric mobility devices *have* been a game changer for cities.

It just turned out that a precondition for *a lot* of people was not looking like a total goober while riding one.

Senate Intel Vice Chair Mark Warner on the Signalgate report: "Hegseth endangered the lives of American pilots based aboard the USS Harry S. Truman as they prepared to launch a mission against terrorist targets."

He is calling for Hegseth to resign.

My job is challenging but getting these girls up, dressed, fed, warmly attired, out the door and into class is by far the most difficult part of my day. 😆
