And our last question of the week:

@genex @ascentale @bikenite Looks delicious! Enjoy and heal! #BikeNite

@meganL @ascentale @bikenite thx!!! It seemed to help in the healing a little already (probably just mentally)

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8. Here you go! "... you can check out but you can never leave..." 🤪

@ascentale @bikenite Out on errands last time, I stopped by the Kenmore post office to drop off some mail and noticed a sign pointing me towards this new store: "music non-stop / play * record * collect"

Sadly they were closed that day despite being a Wednesday, but they do warn you:

"days & hours of operation are organic
generally wed - sat 12 pm - 8 pm usually on sunday & also by appointment
sometimes we close earlier & sometimes we close later, so call or check the website first"

their window display includes not just the usual antiques but things like WIRE RECORDINGS so I'm like

I gotta see this place when it's open

@ascentale @bikenite This cracked me up.

@genex @ascentale @bikenite …. and now I’m craving Russian honey cake!

Wishing you a speedy recovery too

@grammasaurus @ascentale @bikenite thx get some, it's so good!!!

@ascentale @bikenite When riding to work the other day, I saw a Ford pickup with a custom license plate that read "Gerald".

It was a dumb enough pun that I remembered it.

I also saw my front fender go flying off my bike in two pieces mid ride. Nobody was hurt.

@ascentale @bikenite see also this sign outside

@adamrice @ascentale @bikenite

There is a sign here near the airport that warns about low flying airplanes.

Basically all that does is induce anxiety as there is nothing I can do about airplanes going to the airport.

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8. Snow! I actually have photos this week of my ride home from a meeting downtown in the snow, but my server is being uncooperative right now, so I can't upload them.

I had meetings downtown on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and both nights it snowed on me. I, of course, *still* have not put on eiher set of my Winter tires, but I was still fine, even going through 2" (5 cm) of snow on the way home.

@ascentale A8. This week I saw the psychedelic rock band Agouti at Bottom of the Hill, a legendary venue I love and will miss when it closes this year, despite the venue having tried to fight a protected bike lane in front. Looks like their patrons are enjoying the improvement.

@meganL @ascentale @bikenite I remember hearing about Burning Man via USENET way back in the '90s. At the time, I desperately wanted to go, but I knew that by the time a garden variety mildly eccentric nerd with artistic pretensions like me could just go without having to know The Right People, it wouldn't be what I hoped to experience, anymore.

About the same time, King Missile released a song with a line "I want to be just like all the Different People.", and ouch, did I ever feel seen when I heard that!

@ascentale @bikenite

A8: Yesterday bikeride was a bit different. Winter rally is in town and the start is on the bikeroad by the river. Lovely day, -17 C and sun so I decided to have a look. Warning for loud sound in the clip. #bikenite

@ascentale @bikenite A8. A bit of a frustrating week because the protected bike lane we ride in to school was blocked 4 of 5 mornings and in really rough spots to navigate without it. Have been fighting with our dept of transportation over it. #BikeNite

@ascentale @bikenite
I saw my glove in the driveway The one the dog walker picked up from where I dropped it weeks ago, it got buried in snow... and just dropped it where I'd see it
I saw ;big waves from people I haven't seen since the nasty snow I saw how easy it was to bungee a knee scooter to an Xtracycle so when housemate snuck out of orthopedic rehab for a day she could use it, thanks to math prof whose wife won't need it again 'til they do surgery on her other ankle.

@ascentale @bikenite A8. We had more ice in the reflecting pool than I’d seen previously as the temperature hit -3C.

#BikeNite

@kimu Well at least they use the warning blinkers. That makes it ok, right? /s
