Yes please, I apparently need urban orthopedic urgent care and don’t want to drive in a car there when I’m hurt (I have been to Eagan twice in two years for it - that is two times too many imo)

I think people don’t generally think of it if it wasn’t lost on transit, but I see the line up of lost bikes brought to the garage and there are so so many!

Have you checked Metro Transit lost and found? Sometimes stolen bikes get left on buses or trains, or dumped at stations.

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

Biria bike with a sign that says “300 Campground”

Thank you for saying this because I didn’t know it was a whole thing. I seem to have piled up allll the autoimmune symptoms over the last week!

If you’ve got a chronic illness and you’re struggling right now…
Be gentle with yourself.

The “October Slide” is real and can have devastating effects on your baseline.

Remember it’s ok to rest. To take breaks. To prioritize self care.

There’s no prize for playing through the pain.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Know what is worse than SOVs? Zero occupancy vehicles. I saw so many of these empty cars driving around San Francisco, just making traffic.

My favorite transit ad right now is “All Aboard the Gus Bus” (and I do say it out loud every time it pulls up)

Your regular reminder that robustly funding public agencies to develop in-house capacity instead of outsourcing to consultants saves money and time.

Doing everything with consultants has so many drawbacks. I would love to work for a government agency that is staffed to do capital work itself for a while. Just to see how much of a difference it makes.

You know how much time I spend just getting contractors and consultants to agree to do things?
