I faced this in 2021 a few miles from my destination on the penultimate day of my tour home from VT. For 10 min. I considered trying to tackle it with a loaded bike but came to my senses.
It’s hard to tell from the photo, but that washout was deep.

I’m reading a book on heart health. Better late than never. I was shocked to read that eaten cholesterol has very little effect on blood cholesterol! That visceral fat is a much bigger contributor. All these years they’ve been lying to us. What else are they lying about?

I can't remember if Joe's outlasted the other last remaining social clubs in Portland, the Cleo-Lillian Social Club. That place was awesome. The door was always locked from the outside and you had to stand there til the bartender deemed you were worthy of admittance and buzzed you in.
Gonna have to dig to see if there are any long-form articles on the ol Cleo Lillian when I get a chance...

MIL just asked to stay at our house a couple nights while Liz and baby are in Amsterdam with family. Guess she had some business in town. I managed to get her out of here by only 10 minutes after our agreed upon time. I had to ask her to stop cleaning and help her pack her items up to make it happen, but hey that's progress.

Some time ago there was storm damage at a different spot and they didn't repair it for years. Seems the counties were fighting over who was responsible for the repair. Ventura county said they didn't want it anymore and they thought Kern county should take it and fix it. Kern county wanted to get L.A. county involved, L.A. county line is just down the road.

Popped over to Williams to look at this A-B set of Alcos one more time before they get dragged back east somewhere.

Shouldn't you be asleep? 3:00 isn't far off.
