I'm here, but just ghosting, mostly. Besides riding a lot (for me), there's life getting in the way of screen time. We are heading out this Saturday for a week's riding in Wisconsin and then leaving the day after we get back for London and on to Scotland, Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands and ending up for several days in Norway so we won't return until 8/16. My internet will be hit and miss after we cross the Atlantic.
I've also been dealing with solar and my wife has been dragging me around to look at cars which takes up a lot of time.
Our local Trek shop organized a mini grand fondo last Sunday which was called a Freemondo because they didn't charge. That was pretty cool.

I had the Dodge in for its 100,000 mile service, so I got a Lyft from the office to the dealership. When I get in the car, what do I hear but "Hotel California."

Same. The iPad is a notch lower in usability for my liking, and the phone is lowest. If I only had a phone I just wouldn't be a mod . . . maybe not even be a member.
I'm just spoiled.

If they keep driving out there for their selfies, maybe their emissions will boost the temp up and over the record. It’s like the Chinese now burning more coal than ever to keep their buildings and residences cooler. Can you say, vicious circle?

That’s because you have a marigold jacket and magic shovel. But without them . . . .

Ah, a beautiful Queen butterfly. Their natural range seems to be the southwest, because Phoenix is the only place I’ve seen them before.
