This was a fun read. Thanks! It would certainly be a bigger change than what we do now or just picking one. Time zones are a relatively novel technological invention for a problem and we have better tech now.

I just preordered @josie.zone’s upcoming book The Last Temptation of Beck. I didn’t know anything about comics or wrestling before I read her last books. I don’t know anything about Beck but I am excited to learn in November!

Thank you for tuning in for my annual kvetch about the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968. If I were dictator, it would be among the first things I would abolish.
Lincoln was also born in February, on February 12. Washington's Birthday also never falls on that date.
The Federal Holiday is not Presidents' Day or President's Day or Presidents day, although many state holidays have some of those names. In Ohio it is "Washington-Lincoln Day." In California it is known as "The third Monday of February." In Delaware it is not a holiday at all.
Happy Washington’s Birthday! He was born on Feb 11 when the Colonies used the Julian Calendar, and converted to Gregorian his birthday was Feb 22. The Uniform Monday Holiday Act says that the 3rd Monday in Feb is Washington’s Birthday and it always falls between Feb 15 and 21, never on either bday.
the car magically veered a few hundred feet off a state highway, over a bike path, and onto a frozen river. wild, that.
Easier than changing a bike crank! Mazel tov! Hope everybody is healthy and happy.
“There is dust on your chairs.”
“Tomorrow,” said Toad.
“Your windows need scrubbing,” said Frog. “Your plants need watering.”
“Tomorrow!” cried Toad. “I will do it all tomorrow!”

To be clear, most often no car yields to pedestrians, despite the crosswalk and the flashing sign. Morse Road (More Stroad) needs a road diet, and this intersection in particular needs a traffic light
I used to live just north of this intersection. It is so dangerous. Often a driver in the right lane will yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk, only for a car behind to zoom into the left lane and through the crosswalk. Because it is designed like a highway.
This looks like a Bosch Gen2 system. As far as I know (I am a Bosch-certified bike tech, and I own a similar UA) it is not possible to power additional external lights from the battery. Sorry!

I really enjoyed reading this and the photos. Thanks!
Where is this?
And this one. We are going to have a lot more fun taking his name off of things than he is having putting it on them.
Every time he puts his name on something, I think of this GIF

Don’t lose at dreidel
This is exactly what every GOP elected will say about him when he loses the number of his mess.
Cool that you are using both digital and film! Primes are great. Good luck
Not much difference between the two angles, whether on full frame or APS-C, although I usually find wider is more useful. If you are using APS-C, though you should not get a 35mm prime, but instead a 24mm.
I told myself that for years but I finally bought one last year and now it’s on one of my camera bodies 95% of the time.
