Morning is fine, don't want it to spoil

I talked to a few people who were just "it'll melt!" My dude it's not going to be above freezing anytime soon and the sun ain't gonna do much to an inch of frozen slush

I expect it to be rough going for a bit.

Challenge mode: other cyclists will be present

Feeling meh but it's stuff

✅ Shovel
✅ Pumpkin pie
✅ Gym
* Carnitas
* Happy hour I guess
✅ Put out flag again
✅ Walk?

Still don't want to do the happy hour thing but I guess I gotta since I sort of set it up.

Who knows when carnitas will happen

That's an idea. I think my parents have a step I could use for the ride home it's the getting there part I'm worried about. Might have to use my step ladder as I think that's the best I have.

The challenges of elderly relatives but we do as we do.

Up is definitely a concern in this case, she's not super mobile and will be getting into a smaller suv. Although in is probably also a concern because, again, not really that mobile.

Growing up on that side of the river even back then st Paul was proud of their cops not being like mpls cops.

And unlike mpls the city and residents have some leverage on negotiations.

So bold and yet so wrong. I admire your courage.

I will not be engaging in discourse around which pies are better or worse 😂

I will make whip cream I expect though.

Uff da, no thanks. that is ... Awfully specific though.

I managed to fall back asleep for a few hours of weird dreams which might not have been the most helpful thing

I was doing well until this past week or so... Sigh
