Lots of honks from passing cars at the #Bedford MA #flagday standout. How to get those folks to do more than honk? @indivisible.org @indivisiblelab.bsky.social

Nature in action. It seems a Cooper's Hawk made a meal of one of our resident rabbits, and may have buried the unfinished part in the snow for later consumption.

Training in Maine this past weekend for the Tour de Cure, to support funding research to end diabetes. I'm keeping up with my training, but falling behind on my fundraising. To contribute to this deserving cause please see tour.diabetes.org/participant/.... And here is a seal for your enjoyment.

Two cyclists smile at the camera during a scenic ride through a grassy, green landscape with distant hills and water in the background. Both are wearing helmets, sunglasses, and colorful cycling jerseys—one in red and black, the other in teal and red. The setting appears calm and natural, with a partly cloudy sky and wildflowers along the trail.

Harbor seal with a grey head facing the camera, while baking on a large rock. The rock is surrounded by water, and there are hills faintly visible in the distance beyond the water.

This August we are again riding the Tour de Cure in honor of my 3-year-old nephew Oscar, who lives with Type 1 diabetes. Join Riding for Oscar to ride, donate, or volunteer. Every mile brings us closer to a cure. tour.diabetes.org/index.cfm?fu...

A slightly high-angle shot shows three cyclists, two men and one woman, posing on a bridge over a body of water with trees in the background. All three are wearing cycling helmets and matching short-sleeved cycling jerseys that are blue at the top and fade to orange and red at the bottom. The woman on the left has blonde curly hair and is wearing sunglasses. She is smiling and looking slightly to her right. A water bottle is visible in a cage on her bike frame. The man in the middle is younger, wearing sunglasses and a black backpack with a hydration tube coming over his shoulder. He is looking forward and smiling slightly. The man on the right is also wearing sunglasses and smiling broadly at the camera. The bridge has a metal railing, and the water below reflects the sky. The sky is blue with some scattered clouds, and the overall impression is of a pleasant, sunny day.

Ugh, I wrote 46 "Wake Up Virginia" postcards so fast I apparently gave myself something called "golfer's elbow" (which is a kind of RSI I never heard of before). So the last 4 will have to wait a few days. @postcards4usa.bsky.social

Post card with the words "Wake up, Virginia" at the top on a gray background, a line of images evoking a rural street, on to of the words Medi care, Social security, Medi caid, Veterans benefits being cleaved in the middle by a chainsaw. The words, chainsaw and the hand holding it are on a red background that dominates the bottom 3/4 of the card.

We are in Plano Texas (outside Dallas) where it soon is competing at the US Ice Dance Final. We rented a Chevy sedan from Avis, but the electrical panel started going blank and we had to jump start it twice. So Avis swapped it out for us. This is our new ride.
