SF Bay Area tech worker since the first dot com boom. Bicycle commuter.
I had a bike that needed a custom welding job. Everyone said 'Call Mikkelsen in Alameda'.

This guy who was still welding bikes even after a stroke saw something the original frame designers had not. His job is brilliant.

Where did he get his start?

Not welding...riveting

Riveting B 52s
The B-52's 66% mission-capable rate beats the B-1's 46%, which explains why the Air Force is keeping it in service through the 2050s.

My mom remembered the polio vaccine as life changing. When she was a young child, she was never allowed to go to a beach or a fair or anywhere with crowds for fear of contracting polio.

When she was ten, she had a sugarcube and the world opened up. There was nothing to fear anymore.

Stick together and keep looking after each other folks.

There are some hard times ahead. Things we've been worried about for quite a while seem to be unfolding/accelerating before our eyes.

And suffering— no matter how far away— always makes its way to us in time.

Steel yourself, but stay soft.
