Spent the day in between the clouds.

People have fed the wildlife at Rocky Mountain National Park. And now they do this if you sit down.

Thanks to everyone who voted for the Mount Vernon Trail to join the Hall of Fame. If you know me from bike stuff it’s only because of the impact of Rails to Trails Conservancy.

The Mount Vernon Trail needs votes to make it into the Hall of Fame. Help me out by submitting a vote (or two or three or twenty). We're working hard to keep bringing national attention and resources to the trail.

I think about this Kathy Hepinstall Parks poem every single day.
An image of a poem. The background is light orange.  The text reads:

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?

Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
