Pharmaceutical or EDM act?
Ask your doctor if LUNAX is right for you.
Olympics TV in my household is dominated by gymnastics and swimming, but this morning I got to watch Kristin Faulkner absolutely TEAR UP the last few kilometers of the women’s road race. What a gold medal finish! Her lead expanded the whole time between her breakaway and the finish line!
I swear to Xenu, people love to drop lunch hour calls on my schedule.
I just had 2 invitations for me to interview people over lunch on two separate days. “Hey, come work here! You’ll probably have lunch meetings most days because nobody cares enough to try finding a more appropriate time!”
Wishing everyone who leaves a rental scooter in front of a bike rack the most humiliating, public shart.
Finding myself in a position for, perhaps, the first time: I am both (I think) the most senior person remaining in my role at my job and also seems my employer is really anxious about keeping me around. There’s a LOT of turmoil at my employer, so I have mixed feelings about this.
Thing two: I, uh, crossed 5000 miles (8000+ km) for 2024 today 😮
Thing one: I watched Evil Dead II for the first time this week. Terrifically silly, not really my thing, but inventive and enjoyable while viewing.
Also, I kinda feel like Jim Carrey owes Bruce Campbell royalty checks.
First time I’ve seen a USB-C port in a hotel room (Fairfield Inn near Harrisburg, PA).
Eyes dilated for the first time ever. Not a fan of the experience.
Peanut M&Ms are a fantastic bike snack.
Cheswick Park in Henrico was lovely to ride through on my bike this morning. A pretty small part of a long ride, but still pleasant.
Look, I’m not ignoring all the Supreme Shit from the Supreme Clown Court. I just gotta take the wins where I can, okay?
Coming home, even after a wonderful week at the beach, is always nice.
Richmond Ivy match warmup
Nice to see another Reader’s Ride feature in The Radavist about a Richmonder, this time Braden from Outpost: theradavist.com/gt-tachyo…
To my great delight, I just introduced my wife to the old “Zendaya is Meechee” viral video.
NBC spends so much time talking about the Olympic trial pool in a football stadium that you’d think it was their idea.
Every now and then I realize how happy I am that people still make music videos: youtu.be/KOOhPfMbu…
Oh, yeah, no. I love when a neighbor half a block away selfishly blasts music over a PA for a party in their backyard. Yeah, seriously - my favorite is when it continues and gets louder after 8 PM when my kids are trying to go to bed. It’s seriously the best.
Not quite halfway through June, and I just realized that I crossed 4000 miles for the year so far 😳
That’s uh…that’s a lot more riding than I expected (last year’s total was just over 6500).
Ride Photos on a Gorgeous June Day
I was pretty tired today but the weather is incredible: dry, breezy, and sunny. So of course I went riding, but I wanted to take it easy. No pressure to get any distance or elevation, and why not take my DSLR? I was near immediately rewarded by the above sight—a bike absolutely dripping with character (and bones and doll parts).
Otherwise, I just sort of meandered around neighborhoods and through alleyways, not working too hard, taking the occasional photo. A good time was had by me!
The Arches of Ploaf
I’m such a Jersey Shore mook that when I saw a license plate with “PZNAPLE” today I thought it meant “paisan apple”.
On my ride through Richmond’s Southside this morning, the stretch of Warwick between Hopkins and Bells smelled like a hot diaper.
Just saw somebody hit one of those “Stop for Pedestrians” signs with their minivan in a Target parking lot while I was unlocking my bike 😬
