  • JD Vance Interview

    The man is articulate, respectable, well-spoken, and knows how to carry and handle himself during a friendly interview and a hostile debate. I almost wish he was running for President now, and I’m pretty sure he’ll be the nominee in 2028. Do yourself a favor and listen to the actual debates and speeches. Put the…

  • Tour de Bronx 2024

    I think the last time we took part in this event was in 2019. Or 2018. Probably 2018, because we did the Bronx 10 Mile Run in 2019 so we probably trained for that instead. Last time, we chose the 25 mile route and wound up out by Pelham Bay Park, but we haven’t been…

  • Washington Square Park, September 21, 2024

    4K available in the settings if your device can support it. I rode into Washington Square Park and decided to loop around just to see what was going on. Early evening late afternoon around 4 PM or so. I can’t remember the last time I saw the park so full of people. I guess everyone…

  • May I have some oats, brother?

    Been sick for a few days so I didn’t really go out and do anything this weekend. I did find some weird YouTube videos though, and here’s two of them:

  • New York City bike lanes aren’t turn bays

    For some of these people, I wonder if they just didn’t know. There is an NYU dorm on this block and there was a lot of traffic being caused by people dropping off their kids who are about to start Fall Semester. I imagine a lot of them are from Upstate or Central New York…

  • Summer Streets Bronx

    The event was kind of sad and empty. I did my Summer Streets Bronx ride on the last day of Summer Streets at almost the last hour (Sunday August 25th at 1 PM), so maybe attendance was down, but I also did my Summer Streets Manhattan ride on the last day of that event at…

  • Summer Streets Manhattan Ride

    Summer Streets is an event in New York City where stretches of road are closed down from 7 AM to 3 PM to regular vehicle traffic and are opened up to pedestrians and cyclists for recreational use. It started out on just a small stretch of 4th Avenue, but year after year more roads and…

  • Sunday afternoon in Washington Square Park

    On the weekends, we’re almost always going out to do something active: chores, exercise, visiting family, eating out, etc. Yesterday, I had this idea in my head that I just wanted to get to a nice spot in a park and chill for a while. I could sit and read for a bit and take…

  • Getting there

    This is mostly Japanese language learning. I took a short break on Latin American Spanish but went back to Japanese. Next stop, 365 days. It’ll happen, because Duo threatens me daily from a widget on my Home Screen.

  • 30 years isn’t enough, but more than I expected

    I guess this case was too high profile for DA Bragg to sweep under the rug. Assamad Nash should never see the light of day again. He is the poster child for why New York’s bail “reform” law is not only a failure, but is actually harmful to residents. People with long rap sheets should…
