In the past 2 weeks I have had to patch both of my bike tires and replace one of my son’s tires. (And he’s only been riding a month.) Some plant along the local bike path produces seeds with thorns that we keep running over.

I spent yesterday’s ride (after fixing both our bikes) looking at all the plants, trying to figure out which ones produced the thorns. No luck.

So I searched onlineby describing the seeds. Looks like sandburs, and the plants do look familiar.

I’ll be on the lookout.

There are a zillion Starbucks in walking distance of work, and one Coffee Bean. I generally prefer the Coffee Bean, but it’s got a TV that’s *always* showing cable news. Even muted, it’s a job to ignore it, and sometimes it seems like it adds back as much stress as the walk and coffee cuts down.

@MicroSFF Is there a tool to cancel worries in progress to allow this patch to install? I’m not prepared to reboot the system.

7YO just told me he was going to write something down with his “epic pen.”

I love that this kid understands puns.

@Einahpets Same here. A lot of times I pull up navigation long enough to see which of two routes is going to be slower, then turn it off.

But I do use it when I’m trying to get somewhere else after work, and since I’d rather avoid the freeway during rush hour, it keeps trying to send me on these zigzag paths.

I used to follow them, but then I’d see other cars in front of me clearly doing the same thing and realized I was contributing to a bigger safety problem.
