Just for fun...

Black bears can also climb any tree faster than either a human or a grizzly can. That's OK with the Grizzly, who can just knock the whole tree and any occupants over, not so hot for a human unlucky enough to piss off a black bear enough for it to chase you, and try to escape via climbing a tree.

I expect the photo is a fake cut and paste job but it gave me a chuckl

This one is not a cut and paste job: Bear and skier
I may have posted it before sometime. The skier (an instructor) is remarkably calm, cool and collected.

I have heard purists say that they cycle for exercise and would never go electric! I will say, 'Then fill your tires with water, you will get more exercise that way; Oh and what if there is a mountain lion?'

What would be the effect of filling your tires with water actually? They'd be heavier, obviously. Would they have greater centrifugal force? How would it effect balance, etc. Just curious.

I suppose one could avoid flats by filling tires with foam insulation ("Great Stuff"). It would be light. Might pulverize over time and then where would you be? Hmmn...

If it was a real encounter, there would not be a chuckle from me. Or a camera man filming it. Just a lot of blood and gore. But of course I didn’t watch the video .

filling your tires with water

Filling tires with water would suck. It would be heavy so starting and stopping would be slow and the handling would be awful. You would get more exercise, if that is the real goal. Great Stuff would have large bubbles in a sealed environment because it needs air to cure. People do use foam inserts that have a smaller tube inside them such as Tannus. With a Tannus, you can't get a flat where the sun don't shine.

One of my favorite places to ride is called Chileno Valley. It is beautiful. This time of year every night the Newt Brigade goes into action. They pick up each Newt and carry them across the road.

Chileno Valley Newt Brigade

Our long-term goal is to create a science- based built solution to assist the newts in migrating to their breeding lake safely.

our newts look different and I do not think anything will eat them.

They have red belies to to tell predictors of their plosion. Some newts are better than others at cohabitation.

ours change color from dryland to water and they have red spots down the side that look like little portholes. ah Newt G, the beginning of the dismantling of the true bicamerra system of checks and balances concerning the various sides of the aisle, encouraging them to segregate never mingle.

The model for the bike and ped friendly greenway project won first place.

I think that is one of the rules. People are eating it now.
Here is a clip from before the Lighted Bike Parade last night. Videos of the ride will be posted soon.

Friends in costumes today. Natalie, the Christmas tree, spoke and read silly Christmas, stories today to lots of tots in three different English accents from high British Royal to low Cockney, with genders and roles all played out. Enthralling. These are weird folks and I love them all. Merry Christmas. The snow-person melted after a conga dance to up beat jazzy classics, like the Wicked Witch. But she needs the magic top hat to come alive again.

Love that, I've got one of those wheel LEDs that shows pictures as you ride, must get it out for the Xmas pub crawl.

A local punk rock record label in our area host a Punk Rock Bike Ride on the last Sunday of every month. I've missed every ride so far. I really need to go on one and see what its like.

I am going to ride this park today. It is so much fun. This is what it looks like this time of year. Later it is dinner with friends and I will ride a lighted bike back in freezing temps at night routing by some of the best lighted houses in town.

A setup, but I believe it would survive a short dunking.

My corgi saw her first snow a couple weeks ago and she didn't like it. The falling snow upset her, she spent the time outside under a tree.

My sweet little dog would kill for carrots. When we lived in Denver, snowmen and snowwomen would run at the sight of her.
