There's was a DirtWire video from the True Grit Epic in Utah, prob 2019. Tom interviewed a young Gwen Gibson and was stunned she'd cleaned the Zen trail in the race, riding it blind.

One good way to stay (sorta) pleasantly brain-numbed to the horror of the latest news is to not cancel PT on pre-colonoscopy Clears Day.

Not sure if it was just the pharmacy I was stuck waiting at for something unrelated, but today there is some glitch in the matrix between CMS and them, resulting in Medicare approvals for Covid and/or flu vaccines not going through. Can't be a good sign.

Because we need some collective hilarity, who thinks Moulton somehow photoshopped himself into a photo from the Pride parade for this mailer? In a photo you can't hear everyone booing him.

The exact moment I couldn't take it anymore was maybe 12 min in when Moulton pivoted from blaming Markey for not getting the Green New Deal passed to gloating about how he created 988 (which had its LGBTQ+ funding yanked) while I think they were still supposed to be covering energy costs.

Today's outfit. Because if your work routine for much of 2020 didn't require being covered head to toe in plastic & wearing a reused 2+ week-old mask while desperately trying to keep dying people alive (on Trump's 'watch') I don't care about your thoughts on Fauci.

I agree with @drsandman11.medsky.social: If you didn't look like this & doing everything you can to prevent people from dying during the pandemic, maybe think twice before judging Dr. Fauci.

Metro Boston be warned: Drivers around Harvard Square seem generally even more sociopathic than usual the last couple of weeks. Chatted about it today with a guy on a bike I watched get waved through an intersection only to have the same driver nearly right hook him 2-3 blocks later and he agreed.

Did work hours (no socials possible) straight to PT straight to eye doctor. Great thing to first be too busy to read about today's news, and now eyes are too dilated to see it. And the eye doc's a kibbitzy mensch. If there's gonna be shitty things happening this is a way to survive the day.

Knee wouldn't go for a real ride, so went off on a spin in search of some Scottish hordes. Saw some folks in kilts but think too early in the day for actual horde activity. Think I found some traces, though...

Hey, you 5 people who might see this: If you're Boston area and are traveling by bike or car - apparently there was a shooting, and Mem Drive is shut north of just past Harvard Square, as is River St coming off the Pike. I think even to pedestrians. Total carnage.
