Day 2 #XPNFest highlight: meeting and seeing S. G. Goodman with that talented backing band.
in between hauntingly beautiful vocals, a brunette person in camo top with opaque glasses picks a shiny black hollow body guitar under an overcast sky.

in all my many years to Merriweather Post Pavilion, never have I enjoyed the box seats and sofas
A box seat view of the purple hued sea of empty seats of Merriweather Post Pavilion with brown, comfortable seats and sofas in the foreground.  The humid Maryland summer air hangs over the lawn of speckled spectators in the far background. This scene takes place before the Midnight Generation, Polo and Pan, and Empire of the Sun show. A handsome man lounges lazily on the sofa in the dimmed background in the box seats at Merriweather Post Pavilion while the empty sunset lounge lingers in the left background.

Returning to Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the Turnstile jerseys was worth the wait.

FHWA’s Proven Safety Countermeasures website continues to say that there are "28 countermeasures and strategies effective in reducing roadway fatalities & serious injuries"... but they now only list 23. MIA are the following 5 related to Speed Management, Bicyclists, & Road Diets...

while out doing local maintenance, saw some cool mushrooms growing on a previously cut log
Seven, escalating beige brown speckled mushrooms grow out of the crack of a log that had been cut for trail maintenance a couple years prior. The log background is dark gray with streaks of lighter gray, showing different moistures in the wood.

a much needed happy hour #mtb
A thin brown trail rolls through early spring green ground cover into the forested background of Gunpowder Falls State Park. The air is a pleasant 65° filled with the song of wood thrush, bluejay, and robin and the humming crush of old winter leaves beneath 29"x3" mountain bike tires.

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, the 1st of 2 sold out shows at the #Baltimore Soundstage. PSA: Go see live music especially at a smaller venue where ticket prices are cheaper and the experience is generally more personal. (The below picture was taken back of house.)

Beautifully cold and quiet trails along the Big Gunpowder Falls
The sun reflects off wintry white snow covered trees while my bike waits patiently in the foreground. Bright white snow covered trees line the Big Gunpowder Falls while dark clouds linger in the sky behind.

Baltimore ended the first half of 2022 with 179 homicides, the worst first half of a year on record (since 1970). Baltimore just ended the first half of 2025 with 68 homicides, which is the fewest on record. That’s a 62 percent drop from 2022-2025
