These days, expressed by pumpkins
Two Jack-o'-lanterns on concrete front porch steps, in front of a blue,wood-framed glass door. The Jack-o'-lantern in front has a frightened expression and is looking to its left. The Jack-o'-lantern behind it is a carved silhouette of Derpy Cat.

I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”.

I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular.

I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.

Cyclovia Encinitas was wonderful!
Thanks to the City of Encinitas and all the people who made the event happen. I hope we can do it more than once a year.

¡Viva la Cyclovia!

A closed-to-motorized-vehicular-traffic multi-lane coastal highway through downtown Encinitas, CA. A bicycle is on its side at the side of the pavement in the foreground, some street-side trees and tented tables visited by cyclists and pedestrians in the background. The festival is crowned by a light blue sky and a few high, wispy white clouds.

It was great to see all the people riding around on bikes this morning and feel the positive energy!
We stopped by the Leucadia Bike Shop pit stop and met some wonderful people.
Now it's time to bike to the lab and later to Pizza Port in Solana Beach!
