Yesterday, on a mixed-terrain bicycle ride in the East SF Bay Area hills, I saw a juvenile wild pig, (first live siting, for me) two big groups of turkeys, two coyotes, and got stung by a wasp on the top of my head, inside my helmet, while riding down Soaring Hawk, a steep, rough trail. (#AnthonyChabot and #Redwood regional #parks)
I visited the massive land slide on Redwood Road, was handed a beer by a guy walking out of the woods, and determined that I'm not ready for the #AdventureRevival Spicy route that I'm riding next Saturday. And I had my first King ti bottle cage failure.

Good read on how a policy win for parks in Texas came together.
I often find it interesting to hear how these things do or don’t happen.
I’ve resisted buying a #car in #Japan as most of the time it just isn’t needed and is too
expensive.
Last week I took delivery of a #Subaru #Solterra and I must say, it is an amazing car.
Not only that, there is a discount card in Tokyo you can get as an #EV, FCEV or PHEV driver which lets you park 1 hour free at public parks. Seems like an odd benefit until you realize many public #parks have charging stands, including rapid chargers, which are free with parking.
Now with the parking discount, the charging via public parks is 100% free, so long as you’re in and out in 1 hour. Rapid chargers here universally limit you to 30 minutes. Not bad.
#aeon and other malls have also started to install both rapid and mode 3 chargers as well, and those typically have a 1 hour limit but are much cheaper or even free in many cases.
This is a big EV, and the wheelbase is definitely long compared to other cars I’ve driven, but it’s actually really hard to tell while driving. Fun car.

Went to Brighton Beach yesterday. Crowded as expected. Subways a nightmare. Particularly the ride back on the Q where some annyoying kid's voice was a constant cutting though every other sound in the car. A good argument for private cars.

#RenewablesSavesLives: #EPA rejects Texas’s #donothing plan to implement more #pollutioncontrols for its sheer number of #polluting #fossilfuel facilities contributing to #airpollution at national #parks.
