    I only ride bike paths. From my garage it is short block in a townhome complex to the path or the sidewalk by the door to the bike path. From Bob's garage it is a short bit in a development to an intersection with stop signs to a bike lane for a short block to Tucson's Loop. The Loop circle a large portion of Tucson and has a spur that goes through a suburb. Rides of 138 miles can be done. It may be the best path in the US. People travel to Tucson in the winter to ride.

    Very lovely, SK. It does have EWF vibes. Is this something you worked on with your teacher, or is it something you did on your own?00

    That whattaboutism doesn’t land. We can dislike both maga and the DSA. Contempt is non-rivalrous in consumption.

    Well, it is Iowa. Hardly a hotbed of leftist thought. (Having spent a weekend there recently, I am now an expert)

    @wtg said: Bears announced a few days ago they're continuing their focus on Hammond. Fingers still crossed. From a prof at Ball State University. Guess some Hoosiers don't want the Bears to move there any more than some of us Illinoisans want them to stay here. https://indianacapitalchronicle.com/2026/07/20/lets-hope-the-chicago-bears-stay-in-illinois/ He's just mad because he has to live in Muncie. Not that I blame him.

    @RealPlayer said: Yes, the current piano bothers me. Nine foot grand, hard as heck hammers, harsh tone, really needs a new action. I wear musicians’ earplugs just to be able to practice. My god man-- get thee to a piano store!

    The Navy situation is tragic. It would be great if the Democrats took the Senate. I wish the minority leader would resign, however.

    @dolmansaxlil I loved Notre Dame, too, and climbing up to the bell tower. LOUD. But cool to be up with the gargoyles.

    @bernard I love that first blue house you showed. That’s a great color, and dark enough if you’re looking for heat retention. What would you choose for your trim? And would it work with your deck?

    You can only pick from the available candidates. The people who run are motiviated by how the current system works. Sadly it appears that many/most of them aren't serving their constituents but are rather serving themselves.
