Just returned from my summer motorbike trip. This year, camping on Martha’s Vineyard. MV has one (1) campground. I think the 1% don’t camp. They pay people to camp for them and then tell them what it’s like.
That’s Greta, my 2011 BMW. She’s the best. An immigrant.
Looked for Dershowitz…no luck

Rode the BMW up island today to Aquinna. 75F and sunny. Beautiful ride. Everybody’s thinking it, I’ll say it. Gay Head sounds way more P-town than MV 😇

@dieworkwear.bsky.social here's a sartorial time capsule for you. My mom, a stewardess of Eastern Airlines, with the Everly Brothers and George Hamilton IV...heading to Mexico City apparently.

Can confirm. I have a Trek Allant 7+, a cat 1 electric assist bike. I have 2 foldable panniers that fit a full sized shopping bag each. My market is 2 miles away with some hills. Now a 4-mile RT (2 miles carrying groceries) was a bit much. On my bike...a piece of cake. No more car to the market

this is more appropriate for November 11th in Europe (Remembrance Day), but since we do it wrong here I post it on Memorial Day in the US. I took this shot years ago while living in Belgium. Small WWI cemetery near Mons, BE.

I don't know but this is how MO voted in the 2024 presidential election. It looks to me like unless you were literally in the city limits of STL or KC...then MAGA carried. Doesn't get much redder than this. Sadly...

I have a Trek Allant+7. It's a fairly sporty e-bike. I've fitted it with a set of collapsable panniers, when folded the bike is still pretty sporty. When deployed they can carry a full-sized grocery bag in each. Game changer--80% of errands are with the bike now including a fair sized grocery trip
