This summer, we signed up for a week of dive lessons. I’d never really learned how to use a diving board.
It was an hour a day of throwing my body into the air and hoping I did it right. It was some of the most fun I’ve had in years, and I’m so glad we did it.
It's so malicious I've decided it was designed by the NPS permitting official that hates bikes (as she reminded me every year that I had to deal with her).

Held my breath for 4:03 today. What? Why? Yeah, I know. I don't have a short version of explaining why I enjoyed that as much as I did, but here we are. My serious interest in freediving started earlier this year in Bonaire, and today I finished a class with www.bluealchemyfreediving.com
Jay is for criminal justice reform; Miyares isn’t. Jay is for women bodily autonomy; Miyares isn’t. Jay will support a Spanberger agenda; Miyares won’t. Jay will oppose Trump’s federal troops in our communities; Miyares won’t. Enough with the endless self flagellation. We have too much at stake.
