On my ride I did see a group of 4 riders in team kit for a local racing club. They were riding more or less in a pace line, i.e., quite unsafe given COVID19 situation. They may be serous cyclists, but also seriously foolish.
I did not wave. I bet that taught them a lesson!

The cake baking, while mom slept in, went off without a hitch. Then these two took care of the finishing touches after lunch (excuse the we-haven't-been-out-in-several-weeks messy house).

Hmm... my laptop screen just went black for a few seconds. That's not reassuring.

The misunderstanding here is that they live in, and on the edge of the rainforest, and are planting with digging sticks on land that is sometimes difficult to walk, due to the steepness. Under those conditions, slash and burn is the best method out there. Under Low Population Densities.

Play store meaning this is an Android? Try doing a search - there should be a desktop app from the manufacturer that will do the backup. It was an iPhone that died on me, and their home buttons were famous for dying like all the time. And that also means I can't say for sure if there's a software home button available, either.

I would strongly advise against that; for mine, the way I discovered it wasn't "just" a dead home button was that it wouldn't come back up after an OS upgrade without major contortions. Again though, that was an iPhone, but I'd be wary about taking a risk that it wouldn't come back up.

Saw lots of people riding together. Passed as far right as I could. But at least I found a sweet stealth camping spot not too far off the trail. Now if we can just get a nice weekend.

I've been totally taken by boats and especially sail since I was a little kid. As a consequence of that infatuation I've worked as a boat builder more often than anything else. Now as an old man I'm still in love and read sailing stories and watch sailing videos often. There are videos showing how to tack a square rigger, something I've wondered about. From the number of videos it seems I'm not the only one taken by the romance of the sea. Some of the videos are from old film which can contain some surprises. The video in the link of the schooner Wanderbird, on a passage around Cape Horne, in which the owner sails with his family, shows a totally different attitude to children's safety as we see them climbing the rigging and cavorting out on the bow sprite.

I stopped by my LBS today after work in an attempt to throw some money at a local small business...yeah, they didn't really need my help. I walked in and their comfort and kids bikes in the center of the store are almost wiped out. The sales manager said they are building up 3 bikes and selling 5, regularly, and they've got a 2 week long wait list for repairs.
What this tells me is that the MUP is crowded in town.
