It's that time of year again where I get to professionally block Storrow drive so we can take trucks down the famous "No Trucks" road

Here's the pre-fab sort of concept you can buy online. Probably not worth the price for what you want but if you're up for a bit more work than just a rack you could fairly easily replicate this concept with some wood and roofing panel.

Not to be a pessimist about it, but I think that you might need a larger lift to do that

The few sidewalks are only partial and require crossing the street constantly as they alternate what side of the road they're on, if they exist.

One day in and suburban NJ is living up to the road standards I expect from it.

A very wide (~40ft) suburban road with one very wide lane striped in each direction and another very wide lane's-worth of shoulder striped along one side.

Would it be the end of the world for Amtrak to buy a few more dual-mode locomotives so we didn't have to wait over a half hour in New Haven for a power swap? Who's to say.

Hmm, I think I've seen that building before

It's been eight years since I last got to ride with Boston Bike Party, so joining Critical Mass tonight for the memorial ride for Lousia was really nice. So many people turned out and I haven't experienced a large group ride like that in ages.

A large crowd of a couple hundred bike riders stand in a parking lot with their bikes. Many are wearing bike themed or bike event shirts and many bikes have interesting lights and decorations on them.

I'm back home in Maine for a few days and there are still a few Platner signs up but the progressive mood definitely is excitement about Troy Jackson and it seems the Collins campaign is doubling down on the "she's our senator, always has been always will be" approach

Wire guages! Smaller number means larger size (numbers are a ratio), and AWG 10 is roughly twice the diamater of AWG 16. Also confusingly feeder cable used on shows (colored connections in photo) pass zero and the order of numbers reverses, so in ascending size we use #2, 2/0 (two aught), and 4/0.
