Tippi 🐾 and I say thanks for the follows! I don‘t post alot about politics. That doesn’t mean I’m not involved, I support organizations that can fight more effectively than I can. I like to share the beauty of my desert world.🌵We need to remember that our beautiful world 🌎 is worth fighting for.

40 mile 🚴‍♂️ this morning. Knee is still a little wonky post El Tour but overall it was a good ride. Chilly (41) 🥶 at the start but very pleasant on the return trip. Saw a Bobcat on the path on the Santa Cruz by the reclamation facility. #tucson #cycling

If Senator Mark Kelly does not win the Democratic Nomination for President he should be the Senate Minority/Majority Leader. He is what a leader looks, talks and acts like….

📌They appease Vladimir Putin and come after Mark Kelly.

Traitors. All of ‘em.

Since my knee is only semi-functional today after yesterday’s ride 🚴‍♂️ I thought it would be a good day for Christmas 🎄music and to get started on the Spiced Strawberry-Cranberry Christmas 🍓Jam. Tippi 🐾 is always ready to help in the kitchen. #westie #christmas #canning

42nd El Tour de Tucson today. Rode the Metric Century (100km). Great weather at first but then it was very windy😕strong enough to blow you around a bit and it was a headwind for 25 miles. Hoped to beat last years time, but the wind 💨 had other ideas. Final time 4:38. 11,000 riders. #tucson #cycling

Whether they realize it or not, all these CEOs getting in bed with Trump for short-term benefit to exploit his transactional corruption are self-inflicting long-term reputational damage to themselves personally and their brands. The stink of Trump never washes off.

Took a photography 📸 class at the #DesertMuseum today. The class included access to the “Raptor Free Flight” rehearsal. Got some great rare practice photographing flying 🦅 birds. Harris Hawks, Chihuahuan Raven, Great Horned Owl. The public demonstration is highly recommended. #tucson #birds #arizona

40 mile Day of the Dead 💀 ride 🚴‍♂️ this morning. Cycling is a good way to quietly remember and honor the ones you have lost as you ride. The older you get the more there are. Good memories going back a long time. #cycling #dayofthedead #tucson
