Watched a few episodes of Jeffrey Epstein:Filthy Rich on Netflix and not only is it terribly disturbing with regard to his treatment of young girls but how money & power are intermingled with the Justice system which is supposed to protect people from the likes of smarmy predators like him & DJT.

Went for a nice, long, trail ride today, in honour of @drdagly.bsky.social. Every time I'm on those single-tracks, I wonder why I don't do it more often. Our Edmonton river valley is an absolute treasure...😍
