Maybe it's dark and really stormy there. It is late autumn.

How do low income people get to work if there is no public transportation? We have folks here who work in agriculture. They have some long commutes. How do they get to work? The big orchard has a lot of busses, but that's only one orchard. Do we return to the days of workers stuck in cabins...

Well, we have to use gas for a while because so many can't afford to switch over to an electric car, mass transit sucks or is not available in the hinterlands, and of course, the gubmint isn't able to make adult decisions right now. Have been watching a youtuber--Andrew Ditton driving an...

I read an article where the reporter actually interviewed domestic (USA) oil drilling company owners. They quit drilling when oil prices plummeted. They pointed out that you can't just start back producing oil right away. It takes time to hire people, which is also a problem right now, keep...

I lived several years in an area of Warshington (and yes, my WA born and raised friends pronounce it that way) that was settled by people from East Tennessee. So, I learned to use the word Swarp. Like once when on a fire crew and we had to stop digging line and hunker down in the safety (run...

So explain it please.

I haven't done enough on the road research yet. I think traffic is down a tiny bit. The one thing I have noticed is that the political flags that were attached to the trucks are pretty much (finally) gone. I'll check the weather and maybe pedal to the Farmer's Market in the next town down...

I was listening to it on my phone, but when they said they were going to divide up and go to break out rooms, I hung up. I hope to find notes on the discussion somewhere. I fear that no good will result from this chance to "make rules".

I used to think that they were clean. Then, I went into the bathroom of a McDs in Yuma, AZ. I turned around and left and went elsewhere to eat. Our local Burger King, which I've never been to either, made the news a bit ago. A customer called 911 to report that her fries they gave her were...

Nonsense. I've lived in many a place where it was a good hour or two to get to one. We locals did fine. Tourists sucked it up. Subway is more common in the really small places so folks can feel at home with those. However, should you be traveling along the Columbia River, the McD at...

I survived the terrible intersection of Tiny town. This is the busiest intersection in the county, It has the most complex traffic lights of the four in the county. You'd think that folks know that RED means stop, but they don't. I made a Walmarche (walmart) run. As Walmart does, the...

Meanwhile, I read (in a regular article) about a guy who ran into and killed a woman cyclist getting off scot free. The guy even admitted that he was distracted by his phone at the time. Some lives are not protected or cared about.

It rained all day here on the dry side. It's so green right now that I find myself thinking I am back on the wet side. Good night.

The WA Free Beacon, if you google it, is called a conservative newspaper. No mention of satire. Coal rolling is supposed to be hard on engines. I sure hope it is. Around these parts, besides being fashionable by just having a diesel pickup, it is also the fad to take off the pickup bed...

Did you look at the article and survey?

"They" are going to discuss ebikes on state lands. Here is a link to an on line meeting coming up and a survey. Hope "they" don't mess things up with more restrictions...

And today, more real rain over here on the dry side. The wheat should be quite happy.

I couldn't help it. Rode again, up Salmon Creek with a thought of making it to Conconully and having a burger. That didn't happen. I got range anxiety because I'd used up more than the usual amount of power pedaling into the wind, and powering up the scary hill with angry horse trailer...

I think, for wheat, we are off to a good start here in Warshington. We are having rains about once a week here in the dry part, and the winter wheat is planted in the fall and likes rain this time of the year. We also had a pretty good snow cover, which is also favorable. From what I hear...

Just ride, please. No need to ride for a cause, other than for fun or to get somewhere.
