Arizona Desert Rat with a bike, camera and a Westie. Distracted by interesting things. 🇺🇸🇸🇪🇺🇦🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🐸

For some reason Tippi 🐾 wanted to go over to the trailhead near my house. Haven’t been over there in quite a while. I had not seen this sign before, so don’t know how long it’s been there. Thank you Pima County! 😀
This doesn’t seem normal 😯

I thought it was this week 3 years ago we got 🐾 Tippi…but it was actually the last week in September. This photo is for a belated #gotchaday as well as #terriertuesday and #tongueouttuesday 😀

So apparently those of us on Medicare will be receiving $90. It’s very thoughtful of them to send us 💵 so that we can make donations to the Republicans favorite non-profits. 😉 Here are a couple local organizations worth considering:

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Rode 🚴‍♂️ the “Loop de Loop” today. it’s an event where you ride any portion of the Loop and meet groups sponsoring the El Tour de Tucson. I rode the entire Loop (54 miles). Great day for a long ride, 63 degrees at the start. New personal Loop best at 3 hours 33 minutes. Citrus smoothie 😋 at the end.

Another ride 🚴‍♂️ up Canada del Oro to Christine-Taylor-Green park. Added a few extra miles down to Ajo for a total of 35. Stop at Decibel for a scone and some Bike Talk with other cyclists. I could get used to these cool mornings! 😀 #tucson #cycling.

This viscous beast was stalking us on the evening Tippi 🐾 walk. We barely escaped.
