Oct-Dec John Carlson is so much better than Feb-end of season John Carlson #ALLCAPS

I'm trying to get into a better habit of providing feedback for organized rides. The organizers deserve to hear about it when things go well, especially given how much goes into it. Things also can't improve (road markings) if you don't say anything. (It doesn't hurt to thank them either) #BikeSky

Good luck to the #GoHabsGo. Maybe a playoff rematch with the #ALLCAPS next spring?

So bipartisanship in one instance absolves other situations where there is harm caused? Shouldn't this be used as leverage to stop urban occupation, government overreach, or outright corruption? Shouldn't THAT be a bipartisan goal?

Stretch. Especially lower back. Make it part of a daily routine and you will be so much better off for it

The #WeekWithoutDriving is about creating a community with a transportation that everyone can access. This video on the opportunities e-bikes provide via a voucher program in Boston captures the opportunities that come from having a vision for those who can’t drive. @mayorwu.boston.gov

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

A few days after this cartoon was published, my syndicate received a very indignant letter from someone representing the Jane Goodall Institute.
Not only did my syndicate and I both get read the Riot Act, there was a vague implication that litigation over this cartoon might be around the corner.
I was horrified. Not so much from a fear of being sued (I just couldn't see how this cartoon could be construed as anything but silly, but because of my deep respect for Jane Goodall and her well-known contributions to pri-matology. The last thing in the world I would have intentionally done was offend Dr. Goodall in any way.
Before I had a chance to write my apology, another complication arose.
The National Geographic Society contacted my syndicate and expressed a

desire to reprint the cartoon in a special centennial issue of their magazine. My editor, aware of what had just occurred, declined, explaining why.
Apparently, whoever it was that sent the inquiry from National Geographic was shocked. They told my editor that "that doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know." They did some checking themselves, and an interesting fact was eventually discovered: Jane Goodall loved the cartoon. Furthermore, she was totally unaware that any of this "stuff" was going on. Some phone calls were made, and the cartoon was not only reprinted in the centennial issue of National Geographic, but was also used by her Institute on a T-shirt for fund-raising purposes.
I've since had an opportunity to visit Dr. Goodall at her research facility in Gombe. It's a wonderful place (sort of like right out of National Geographic).
"To refer to Dr. Goodall as a tramp is inexcusable even by a self-described 'loony' as Larson. The cartoon was incredibly offensive and in such poor taste that readers might well question the editorial judgment of running such an atrocity in a newspaper that reputes to be supplying news to persons with a better than average intelligence. The cartoon and its message were absolutely stupid." —Excerpt from the above-mentioned letter that started the ruckus

Nothing says "serious workout dude" like wearing a golf shirt to the gym.

Mansolino said there was a fan chirping him above the dugout so NBD INSIDE the dugout, but we'll see whether that's the case tomorrow I guess.
