a sign hangs on a corrugated metal wall, next to a door. There's a skull and crossbones with a lightning bolt on the skull's forehead. Below it, the sign says:
DO NOT DUMB

You may not be able to go to the opening ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center, but you can see all of the banners I designed and animated for his '08 & '12 campaigns right now. Check it out: http://barackobamadesign.com
For true internet geeks: The ads on the site were animated using Flash. @matthewmcvickar helped me modernize the site so you can play with all the rollovers on modern browsers again.

G train! I'm not sure how that would have gotten them from Queens to the Lower East Side, though.
Oh wait, back then the G did extend to Forest Hills. Maybe they transferred to the J/M? Not a free transfer, but perhaps the most convenient while hauling gear. And I guess it was actually called the GG back then. https://www.nycsubway.org/perl...
Now their songs are used in inane advertising. I hope whomever benefits is doing something righteous with the money.
Going to the Sun Road, Glacier NP
alt text
My bicycle leans against a low stone guardrail wall on the Going to the Sun Road, an alpine road in Glacier NP. The view is to the east with Logan Pass in the distance.
There were rumors all week that the road would open up to the top, but no date. I staked my bet on Thursday, and planned an early out from work. Lucky me, that was right on the money. I got on the bike right after 5:30pm and hit Logan Pass right at 9:00pm, just in time for a cold thunderstorm to roll in. It was fine though--I brought all the layers. While the getting there part took 3.5 hours, I was back to my car in less than an hour. Average speed of 7.9 mph, max 34.9 mph. Anyhow it's open all weekend to bikes, then the tourist season kicks off, with the road opening to cars Monday.
So why do they call this Sun Ro...OOOOH! That's why!
Beautiful!
Thank you for the photos of your adventures! These are gorgeous.

not to be a braggart about something so small, but feels good man. as someone who grew up extra tubby and was never in shape enough to even run one mile, it’s nice to hit even a moderate goalpost.

RIP Special Phil and Catfish Donny Meatloaf You Will Be Missed
Phil and Donny will, sadly, miss the catfish meatloaf. Depending on where they go next, in heaven they will say they miss it. In hell, they have it every day, just enough to keep them dead.
Sad to hear this. I have fond memories of seeing Special Phil and Catfish Donny Meatloaf play at a juke joint when I was young.
Someday you too will be special catfish meatloaf missed.

Maybe my favorite song. I started keeping a YouTube playlist of covers. Adding this to it.
https://youtube.com/playlist...
https://youtube.com/playlist...
@jpoulos I don't know that I have a favorite song. But I can say that I've never been able to get tired of hearing this one.
Longish story about how much this song means to me: Back in the mid-90s, I moved to Seattle. Growing up in the boring and arid eastern half of Washington State, I'd always wanted to live in the greener, more exciting area, and I finally made that wish come true. I had just gotten married and we bought our first house, and I realized that I finally, really felt at home - a place of my own choosing. One night, feeling very happy about things, sitting on our couch, I noticed that I was digging a song that was playing on a promo on KCTS (Seattle PBS) (instruments only from the song's intro). The vibe of the beloved local channel, the fun imagery, my feeling 'nested' all clicked. That song was _this_ song -- I had never heard it before. When I tried looking it up later, and discovered that not only was if well-known, but it had lyrics, and "Home" was such a prominent lyric, and the title was, of course, "This Must Be The Place"... well, I was just amazed, and felt even more certain I'd landed where I belonged. (Of course I moved away some years later, but that's another story)

My daughter, pictured, got her car wrapped and I drive her to pick it up today. She painted the rims. She has "PA5TEL" custom plates that will be here soon.
It is a 2017 Toyota Camry if you are curious.

proposed emoji
alt text
Timely, and worth reconsidering: https://www.carrozo.com/guilloti...
Good idea, bad proposal writing. I'd bet it would have passed at least the first round with a better proposal.
"We should have an eggplant emoji because people use it as a visual metaphor for penises" would have kept the eggplant emoji out of Unicode. Instead it was pitched as a popular food. So basically, "We should have a guillotine emoji because people want to murder billionaires" doomed this proposal.

@ardgedee Eggplant was in the original SoftBank/KDDI sets - I don’t think it went through the modern proposal process at all.
This proposal was already doomed, so they may as well lean into the satire.

Merguez sausages, Spanish rice and harissa
alt text
A plate stacked with Spanish rice, sausages, with a fork sticking out the side.
Garbage photo but pretty tasty. I had Merguez sausages once years and years ago and often lust after them. Marks and Spencers now stock them.
First time I made Spanish rice also. Jessica usually makes it and is pretty boss at it, mine was so so.

Did you let out a little squee when you saw them at M&S?
@hertz it was actually via Ocado which is the online delivery system (who also stock M&S) so not quite the same as seeing them in store but exciting nonetheless.
Big Prairie, Glacier NP
alt text
In the foreground, a bicycle loaded for camping is laid down on a rudimentary gravel road. In the mid ground is a mountain valley prairie which gives was to lodgepole pine. In the distance is the snow capped Livingston Range of Glacier NP. It's a very blue day with wispy clouds, especially on the left hand side of the image.
I got out on my first bikepacking trip since the beginning of May. I guess my lungs are mostly good post bronchitis, but holy dang, this one kicked my butt. Day one was 41 mi, with 3600 feet of elevation gain, a bunch of that landing in real punchy climbs. Not pictured is the downed tree mayhem I navigated just over half way in. Lots of hefting my loaded bike up and over (and under) way more downed trees that I was expecting. We had a pretty strong wind storm over winter with unfrozen saturated ground, AKA "a mess". Anyhow, I made it out and back, with this pic showing off the West side of Glacier NP, including the aptly named Big Prairie.
Oooh great mares tales there (cirrus clouds).
Downed tree season is real!
