    Hipster Santa spotted in Portland OR. He rides a spiffy red bike and has a man-bun. How do we feel about this?

    December 5, 2015 - By ginny

    G+: Hipster Santa spotted in Portland OR. He rides a spiffy red bike and has a man-bun. How do we feel about this? I actually like his "cool Grandpa" vibe, and little kids might find him more approachable and less scary. AND CHECK OUT THE HOMAGE to the classic PDX airport carpet on the settee! That's so awesome, as anyone who flew into Portland for the holidays in the last few decades will recognize. When that carpet was replaced, people wanted pieces of it for nostalgic souvenirs. Kevin Swan, Debbie Wynn, Aleta Zak, Arne Jamtgaard, and all my Oregon friends:…

    Whoa, Canada! Can We Has A Liberal Landslide Too?

    October 21, 2015 - By ginny

    G+: Whoa, Canada! Can We Has A Liberal Landslide Too? I just want to call out this quote and ponder what would happen if a young American electorate woke up… "2015 represents a generational shift in Canadian politics. Voters woke up on Tuesday morning to find that the most powerful people in their government were all under 45. Voter turnout surged seven percent this election, which is shocking for an election not contested on a central national issue like the conduct of a war or the implementation of a major economic policy. " Me again. Hmm. If only…. Trudeau Won…

    So. I'm not a very confident cyclist, but last June I rode 40 miles in Tour de Cure Chicago, a large fundraiser benefiting the American Diabetes Association. I managed to finish, although I fell twice. Ouch. Dang clips

    G+: So. I'm not a very confident cyclist, but last June I rode 40 miles in Tour de Cure Chicago, a large fundraiser benefiting the American Diabetes Association. I managed to finish, although I fell twice. Ouch. Dang clips I'm diabetic, and cycle to get fit, lose weight, and manage my diabetes. After taking some time off this summer, I'm back in training, and boy, did I do something stupid. I committed to ride the 65-mile route next June, on the road, if I raise $1000 by January 1. My ultimate goal is to raise $3000 by June. Am I…

    Diabetes Sucks: Help Me Raise $3000 in Tour de Cure Chicago 2016

    October 18, 2015 - By ginny

    In December, 2014 I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes, and will be riding in Tour de Cure Chicago on Team Red again this year to raise money for research and to help STOP DIABETES. Why? because diabetes sucks! For the second year running, as a person living with diabetes I wear the Red Rider jersey for training and on the day of the ride. This year, if I raise $1000 by January 1, 2016, I will commit to ride 65 miles on the road, instead of the 40 mile ride on the trail. I’m not currently comfortable as a…

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”

  • Living On Blue Island In Lake Illinois

    A local bike riding friend remarked today that he feels like he’s living on a blue island. I made sure he sees this.

     

    ”JB Pritzker trolled the president on Friday by claiming he planned to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay.”
