Sometimes cars can be cool too

Two kids and a green Woom bike in the bucket of a bakfiets on an empty blacktop with a school in the background.

A perfect day to put a bike in the bike to bike somewhere to bike.

My seat was on an aisle and I may have danced a little, particularly during the tango When I Paint My Masterpiece

An urban arrow bakfiets parked on an urban sidewalk across the street from a bunch of people going into a theater under a banner from Bob Dylan‘s Rough and Rowdy Ways tour.

Tonight was the 12th time I have seen Bob Dylan but the first time I got there on a bike. Great show and smooth ride.

Star Trek The Search for Spock scene. Our Lord Spock is pictured in a white robe. He stands surrounded by his shipmates who are all older here than they were in the TV show. Sulu is smiling and touching Spock's chest for some reason. Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, and Bones stand close and all seem thrilled to see him, but are otherwise practicing self control and not feeling his chest. Despite being surrounded by friends, Spock is staring only at Kirk, for obvious reasons.

He is risen

Checking in on Pam Bondi:

Saving money on gas starts with smarter alternatives to owning a car.

With an e-bike that can handle groceries, commutes, and school drop-offs, you can transition to a one-car family, using it for daily trips and saving thousands each year.

Term limits destroy institutional knowledge and create a constant churn of amateurs who need to learn how to legislate.

It empowers corporate interests, which is why they push the issue.

UTC!

This was a fun read. Thanks! It would certainly be a bigger change than what we do now or just picking one. Time zones are a relatively novel technological invention for a problem and we have better tech now.

The cover of the book "The Line Upon a Wind: The Great War at Sea 1793-1815" by Noel Mostert. The image is a painting of the sterns of three battered ships, surrounded by smoke.

I just preordered @josie.zone’s upcoming book The Last Temptation of Beck. I didn’t know anything about comics or wrestling before I read her last books. I don’t know anything about Beck but I am excited to learn in November!

A 19th Century PSA image of George Washington in a colonial militia uniform and hat. The text says: "LEGAL HOLIDAY Washington's Birthday February 22nd No Business Transacted"

Thank you for tuning in for my annual kvetch about the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968. If I were dictator, it would be among the first things I would abolish.

Lincoln was also born in February, on February 12. Washington's Birthday also never falls on that date.

The Federal Holiday is not Presidents' Day or President's Day or Presidents day, although many state holidays have some of those names. In Ohio it is "Washington-Lincoln Day." In California it is known as "The third Monday of February." In Delaware it is not a holiday at all.

Happy Washington’s Birthday! He was born on Feb 11 when the Colonies used the Julian Calendar, and converted to Gregorian his birthday was Feb 22. The Uniform Monday Holiday Act says that the 3rd Monday in Feb is Washington’s Birthday and it always falls between Feb 15 and 21, never on either bday.

Driver safe after car goes off SR 315, lands on frozen Olentangy River A driver is safe after their car veered off State Route 315 near the Columbus-Sharon Twp. border and landed on the frozen Olentangy River.

the car magically veered a few hundred feet off a state highway, over a bike path, and onto a frozen river. wild, that.

Easier than changing a bike crank! Mazel tov! Hope everybody is healthy and happy.

Another fun Friday night to have the surname “Epstein”

To be clear, most often no car yields to pedestrians, despite the crosswalk and the flashing sign. Morse Road (More Stroad) needs a road diet, and this intersection in particular needs a traffic light

I used to live just north of this intersection. It is so dangerous. Often a driver in the right lane will yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk, only for a car behind to zoom into the left lane and through the crosswalk. Because it is designed like a highway.

This looks like a Bosch Gen2 system. As far as I know (I am a Bosch-certified bike tech, and I own a similar UA) it is not possible to power additional external lights from the battery. Sorry!

Coming May 4: The Pittsburgh Gazette-Post! Now with fewer employees, and they're paid less, and more AI!

Stay woke, Isaac

I really enjoyed reading this and the photos. Thanks!
