No goal, just to finish it. Cycling is my primary sport

Gabe @pedalsandpages.com · 1d

I am doing my first half-marathon soon, and I have never run that far. Nervous for sure. I know I can *do* it. But what shape I'll be in at the finish is something else entirely…

100%. As I mention in my post, I’m not a Catholic. But I’ve heard a few accounts similar and along those lines. Very old and strong institution.

yes!

I’m stunned by the recent elections in my former home, #Fairbanks #Alaska. It’s a deep-red, MAGA country through and through — yet this time, a massive blue wave swept through, and the Trump-style mayor was voted out. Maybe, just maybe, people are beginning to wake up?

Grocery prices are rising quickly; I'm not sure if this is unique to my rural area.

📚 My review for: "Salem's Lot" by Stephen King

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars)

A gripping horror novel about a town overtaken by vampires. Suspenseful and atmospheric—one of King’s best.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Schumer: That issue that MAGA Mike keeps talking about—illegal immigrants getting health care. It’s an effing lie. The law says that federal dollars cannot go to illegal immigrants under Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA.

And I said that to him in the room. I said, You’re lying. He smirked.
