I like bytes, bikes, beers, and boys. I'm just not sure about the order. Lover of floofs. Leftish. Anti-fascist. Problematic. Transit advocate. Death to #CarCulture. OG @redrummy@ohai.social twitter expat. #AlaskaGrown #Biking #Tech #Queer #OptOut #Sheltie #WalkableCities
Whew. Work can fuck off for a couple weeks. NorCal family, here we come.
In searches for "bike shop" in Grass Valley CA, Google maps keeps including "Bicycle Thief", which is in fact a pizzeria. Do I give it a pass on this one?
Gods I adore 80's Depeche Mode. Ignore the video. Close your eyes. it's all about the sound.

Wait, Costco has a pet insurance discount?
Figo Pet Insurance has entered the chat.
It's a battle royale in my mailbox.
@cgt@social.vivaldi.net Oops, now you triggered the DM fan club feedback loop. What are your favorites?
Lovely day for a spring bike dog run. (Your mileage may vary.) But I think my floofy boy is out of shape. He's been sandbagging us. Alaskamutt don't care. She's good to go!
I like Austria and Switzerland. They aren't neutral in the sense of passivity, but aggressively so, as in, "Don't mess about our borders, because we WILL enforce that."

Austria was the fifth European country to close its airspace to U.S. activity related to the war in Iran, with the country’s vice chancellor, Andreas Babler, saying that Austrians want “nothing to do with Trump’s politics of chaos and his war.”
I miss these dogs already. Send me pics of them being cute while I'm gone. (Edit: That was supposed to be a DM, but still...)
TV news headline: "AMERICANS ON HANTAVIRUS CRUISE SHIP RETURN TO US"
Yeah, you're never going to catch me on one of those floating disease incubators, in *addition* to all of their other problems.
I didn't shower today. *sniff* I'd fuck me. Who wants in on this?
I have had Grass Valley Brewing Company's "Irish Getaway" red ale at several local establishments now, because GODDAMN, this is a good beer!
