the thing about living in a tourist destination with public transportation is that sometimes you see people sprinting to catch the train. and if these people have a "teehee this is a fun adventure" expression, they are tourists accomplishing a tourist goal of Having a New Experience and if these people have a "if I don't catch this train I'm going to keep running right off this platform and onto the tracks" expression that is a local on their way home from work and they are not joking.

It’s never overstated to me when people are like “work out bc it makes you feel better” bc it literally does. I think what I used to get hung up on is making the perfect schedule / wanting to know what I was doing right away. But it’s also okay to flounder at first and experiment w things and figure out what works for you and your body. The important thing is you’re starting out bc your body really will thank you for it later down the line. You cannot keep pushing it off it will add up

due to my very specific collection of bandanas, I am only able to signal interest in Skeleton Sex, Tie-dye Sex, Tentacle Sex, and Sex on a Bicycle, Specifically In Berkeley.

Chubby the cow, a sequel

Some of you may remember the story of Chubby the Cow. She lives with a boy and a girl and enjoys mountain biking, which was the cause of her initial visit... all that sun exposure and wilderness adventure had worn her skin quite a bit. But her family wanted to keep her as close to original as possible, so we did. Well, that was back in 2017 and five years of adventures plus a pandemic had done a job on Chubbs' (as she's also known) skin. Here were the diagnosis photos her family sent this summer:

As you can see... her patches had held, but not the thin muzzle fabric, and her original fur had now worn through pretty much everywhere. It was time for Chubby to get fully recovered in all new fabric. The boy and girl decided to use the same fabric as the patches, but everywhere this time, including her pink spots. Chubbs was going to get a spa and be fully recovered.

She flew in and started right away with her bubble bath:

Soon, she was fully recovered and soft and furry again:

But this time, we were going to protect her a bit more... she was getting her very own bike helmet in bright pink!

Chubby flew home to Texas and sent this photo:

Of course I had to ask... did she lose her helmet already!?!?!

Nope, the Boy wrote:

She's very careful when she's biking - she's got some mad (cow) skills that let me just sit back and watch as we pass The Girl! Our new cow that we got when Chubby was at the Spa (Callie) has claimed the helmet and is now riding with The Girl.

So here's to safe, happy, and long rides for all four!
