Just got all caught up. Pretty fun show, could have been a LOT more brutal. Watching the Tomorrow War right now.

Perfect today. There were a LOT of women runners. Looked like a group event. Lots of bright tags hanging around marking the course I'd guess. The really cool thing...no headphones and every time I came up behind some of them I rang my bell once, they moved over, we exchange *Good Morning* greetings and a smile, and went on our merry way. Done by 9am, great morning.

Amen to that!

How much worse can things get you ask? How about burning sea water? Thankfully if was put out fairly quickly, but dayummm. Would have been a sight to see at night.

Our local pool is shutdown as well. Repairs from the freeze supposedly.

Steve's video explains what happened, and it's a serious fail.

Lol, saw this online and had to share.

I keep looking at other sites with info, trying to figure out why it's a thing...but I got nuthin'.

It looks like chain tension has a lot to do with *at least part* of how it works. No rear suspension would point to that.

Oh hell yeah!

It really does look HEAVY.

How is the sinkhole doing?

Hmmm, I think it's a cool idea but it's not for me...or MTB.

Just told a guy talking on his phone in the library to shut the fuck up, and everyone applauded me, so I told them to shut the fuck up too.

Serious badasses. Alien level.

I really enjoyed that.

I hope this asshat got punched in the throat. https://sports.yahoo.com/spectator-with-sign-causes-massive-crash-at-tour-de-france-144044625.html

I went to all three days of MotoGP every year. My backpack was required to keep me going for that amount of time. I also rode my Ducati to the races so that I could get out of there in a matter of minutes. Car/truck parking sucks ballz.

MotoGP is BACK! http://circuitoftheamericas.com/motogp/tickets The new restrictions on what can be brought in are kinda strict. It is what it is, but even fanny packs are out. I tried to find COVID info on the site but not a single mention of it. I have to assume that it will be normal 100K+ attendance. Side note, WTH does a facility like COTA not have a cert? The site doesn't respond to 443 at all.

Wow, only 5 years. I love the performance of EV's but I'm not going to only own one. I need the range my truck gives me. Seems to be some loopholes for China. https://www.electrive.com/2021/06/23/audi-confirms-accellerated-transition-off-fossil-fuels/

Penny Dreadful, pretty damn good.
