Another spoke broke on my bike. At this point it's going to cost more to fix than I paid for it. I don't know what to do. Riding has been about the only thing keeping me sane.

We got some rain. It cleared the air a bit. It's going to take a lot more to stop all the fires. Floods in Texas. Fires everywhere else. But no, this has nothing to do with the warming of the planet.

The wildfire smoke finally reached us, and it's horrible. I was at the garden for an hour, and now my throat is sore. There's no way I'm going for any bike rides in this air.

At 7am it was already 76 degrees with 90% humidity. If I was going to go for a bike ride, it had to be then. Now, here I sit soaked in sweat, but it feels good. Later in the day I would be risking a heat injury.

Went for a nice bike ride this morning -- stopped at the garden to do some weeding, rode to the grocery store for a few things, and on the way home we saw a soft shelled turtle just off the bike path laying eggs.

Let's pick a state -- Mississippi, and build a wall around it, and incarcerate all MAGAts there. Then we can enjoy healthcare, a living ware, and basic human rights. P.S. we'll let you take all your firearms there because that is your right.
