What I did all day yesterday. And by all day I mean I started at 9:30am and finally sat down at 8:15pm, with one short break to make and eat a sandwich somewhere around 2-ish.

Labu-BOO! Remember that the scariest thing on the road tonight should be a child dressed as a pop culture reference you’re too old to understand.

Be extra cautious driving today, and keep an eye out for trick-or-treaters. Happy Halloween!

Good God. Someone stop them. NOW. arstechnica.com/cars/2025/10...

My husband's nickname for me, which he thinks of as my superpower and possibly my Halloween costume, is Supermodal. Today: Walk to bus stop. Take 2 Rapid Rides. Amtrak Cascades to Olympia. Car passenger home. Not the most modes I've ever used in one day, though. How many modes will you use today?

Given the Link light rail's rapid expansion, Seattle now has the fastest transit ridership growth of any major US metro area, beating out the continued recovery of DC

🍫 🍪 Amidst all that's bad, at least we still have International Chocolate Day. 🍫 🍪

Vertigo attack sidelined my plans for the day, which made me think of a couple of my blog posts on biking, time, and being in the moment.

It is! So great with some white cheddar on crackers, or on muffins or toast or.... just so good.

We're entering the season for these recipes or others like them. What are your favorite ways to use or preserve apples and pears?

Seville: "Cycling has increased 11-fold in Seville in the space of a few years. Is this proof that any city can get lots of people riding by building an ambitious network of connected, segregated bike lanes?"

Transformational change is possible with bold leadership.

Oslo: 0 people walking or biking were killed in 2019. "Oslo has implemented 50 kilometers of bike lanes, removed parking spaces equivalent to 4,250 cars from its streets, installed around 500 speed humps, and lowered speed limits"

Transformational change is possible with bold leadership.

The primary reason for road wear is weight.

Modern cars weight much more. EVs are even heavier.

Other modes of transportation (e.g. bicycles), smaller cars and less sprawl (less roads to maintain) will fix those issues.
