This morning I encountered some mad traffic on the way to Mom's--people driving even more irrationally than usual.
Granted, driving itself is irrational, except when facilitated by the vast, multitrillion dollar edifice of coercive infrastructure we have suffered under for seventy years, but I mean it was crazy ev ...

Today was laundry day. As the laundromat is only three blocks away, mostly by quiet backwater streets (and I don't yet have a bike trailer), I walk there, pulling the goods on a little dolly.

Glory be, but wife Gina wanted to ride with me to the beach this morning!

My usual email forum was abuzz recently over some mainstream media vomit regarding cyclist/motorist conflict, with cagers apparently feeling cyclists are "arrogant." The only reason the interviewers could evoke was that many cyclists roll stop signs....
