Stephen J. Beard @stephenbeard.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Convinced that this google trends snapshot is proportional to the red herring in today's NYT Connections. 200
Stephen J. Beard @stephenbeard.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I have a years-long tradition of pre-loading my coat with unique snacks — pre-packaged or otherwise — that I just randomly pull from my pocket and offer to my family. My wife documented today’s road snack: a meringue. 130

Stephen J. Beard @stephenbeard.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Spotted this magnificent barred owl earlier today on the Nickel Plate Trail. She’d fly ahead of me as I walked, pause in a tree, then fly ahead again. 090
Stephen J. Beard @stephenbeard.bsky.social · 19/01/2026Can’t believe I have an opinion here, but I’ve had a board by “Board Dudes” for nearly 20 yrs. Cork is thin but affords good purchase for pins applied with minimum pressure. Only nitpick, little bits have sloughed off in places with a denser cluster of pinholes, revealing cork to be +/- 1/8 inch. 000
Stephen J. Beard @stephenbeard.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Canceled our annual Disney+ a while back (long before the Kimmel Kerfuffle) but was told service wouldn't officially stop until Nov. 19. Just got this email and had to double-check that cancellation was still on track (it is), but a $30 price hike for loyal annual subscribers seems a bit … goofy. 220
Stephen J. Beard @stephenbeard.bsky.social · 17/04/2025This was a fun one on Brown Co. SP involving a mashup of trails 7, 8 and 9. I think we were just north of 5 miles but you can def adjust for 7 or more. 120
Stephen J. Beard @stephenbeard.bsky.social · 17/04/2025I’ve had this one up at Salamonie on my near-term “to explore” list for a bit. I’ve heard nice things about it but need to check it out. 100
Stephen J. Beard @stephenbeard.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Loved the shout-out from Mirror Indy's Amanda Kingsbury in today's newsletter for the time I anthropomorphized a breaded tenderloin to explain how a bill becomes law in Indiana. 160
Stephen J. Beard @stephenbeard.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Anyone else getting besieged with AI space images on this platform? Any pointers on how to get them to stop? It’s out of control. 130
