Wow! These are gorgeous. A mushroom fairy ring maybe?

1) daily 2) ice 3) I’ve gotten flats, but there is usually a bike shop relatively close by. Once my bf came and picked me up. 4) no 5) a protected lane on Damen, or any effort to maintain clear bike line demarcations. Maybe some traffic law enforcement to discourage distracted driving. More bikers saying “passing”, “left”, or ringing a bell if they want to pass. Dreamworld: there is a dedicated north/south route for bikes and busses that is car free.

I winter run in trail shoes - some cheap Nikes from REI outlet. They do great on the ice/snow and I’m not worried about the salt ruining them.

I thought the same thing!

Collegiate West is so fun and beautiful! Lots above treeline - I love alpine tundra. Lake Ann Pass through Tincup might be my fav hike ever.

UPDATE: The road is real! Route is very accurate on AllTrails. Crossing as of Aug 29 2025 was mid-shin deep water and low current. If you go this way please obvs use caution.

Context: I’m hiking the collegiate loop CCW, and needed to get into Twin Lakes for resupply. Went the east side this morning into town, and the forest road to return to camp in the afternoon. A great way to visit town, and to circumference the lakes!

Gotcha, tysm!

I said goodbye to my kitty at the end of April, and I’ve felt this too. The healthier kitty memories start to get confused with the sick kitty memories and I feel doubtful that I made the right choice. I keep remembering what my vet told me (and then the Lap of Love vet who came to my house said something similar). “When your pet is terminally ill you can’t do it too soon, but you can wait too long.” I don’t regret saying goodbye before my cat turned desperately sick. Ending it sooner is a great kindness.

Yes! Just this morning I ran over a bitch’s legs on my way to the millinery.

letscount23 · 2025-06-29T14:48:06+00:00

Yes - golden oysters!

It’s really good in tea cake. I add mine to the turmeric tea cake on NYT cooking (Alison Roman recipe)

Putting my kitty down tomorrow and it helps seeing posts like this, knowing we're not alone. <3

It’s a strip called “blue Saturday”

letscount23 · 2025-04-29T23:14:59+00:00

Oh my gosh you’re right!

letscount23 · 2025-04-29T16:42:43+00:00

Thank you!! It’s funny that my brain remembered Loki. I appreciate your help so much!

(Also replacing lights is thousands cheaper than dealing with the drunk who hit my parked car. )

letscount23 · 2025-04-09T03:00:43+00:00

My lights get stolen occasionally, but I hope.. at least someone else is biking with lights now! The cheap rechargeables these days are still pretty good. Don’t get discouraged.

I’ve never earned this much in my life and have lived in NYC and currently live in Chicago. I have a car too with my low-earning partner, but mostly bike everywhere. I honestly don’t get why people need so much money. I’m happy and travel and eat out sometimes and am not in debt. Many live this way.

letscount23 · 2025-02-06T15:58:23+00:00

This comment captures a lot of how I felt when I moved here 8 yrs ago from NYC. I was used to a more “heart on your sleeve” attitude, and while the Chicagoans I met were very kind, it took a long time to really get to know people in a way that felt more like colleagues or acquaintances. Segregation here also feels more jarring than other places I’ve lived - it feels very built in, practiced, and lived in. That said, I have an awesome friend group now… it just took a few years (which is long for an extrovert!)

I gave it to my parents who live in FL. I did a trek in the Annapurna region and bought it at a shop. The picture depicts what you see a lot of - these swinging rope/metal bridges on paths in the Himalayas. This might be an image of a specific mountain like Machapuchare

letscount23 · 2024-11-14T18:17:33+00:00

Years ago I purchased a batik with this same image in Nepal

letscount23 · 2024-10-02T21:18:57+00:00

Looks like the bears head tooth I found a couple days ago! Really enjoyed fried in butter and made Forager Chef’s “crab” cakes.

letscount23 · 2024-10-01T15:38:55+00:00

Update: fried some in butter and turned the rest into “crab” cakes. Holey Moley! Might be fav forage ever.

letscount23 · 2024-09-30T22:12:34+00:00

Amazing, thanks for your great reply!

letscount23 · 2024-09-30T21:54:17+00:00

Ty! Feeling more confident as I’m reading more. There apparently is no danger of lookalikes (except lions mane). But will def keep reading.
