Got back from my mini-tour down the Silver Comet! After a later than expected start and some mechanical issues I didn't make my goal of doing my first century, and *still* haven't done the Chief Ladiga trail (I turned around at the border and came back to camp where I knew I could get more water), but I had a great time none the less.
Total distance for both days was 135.37 miles with an average moving speed of 10.4 mph. Max speed was 29.5 mph down a particularly steep hill!

A new survey reveals 5 to 19 million tons of lithium reserves in Southwest Arkansas — that’s enough lithium to potentially meet global EV demand ninefold by 2030. 😳

Kamala and I worked like hell to protect the pensions of millions of union workers and retirees – and not a single Republican in Congress voted to join us.
But thanks to that work, over 1.2 million pensions have been protected.

hehe, I can visualise that.
Of course, our cats own everything and are generally allowed everywhere. Exceptions are in the wastebin, eating from our dishes, and in dangerous areas (like where something is soaking in cleaning solution).
Yeah, I don't have too many hard rules, but I do try to discourage them from totally roaming anywhere.
She has yet to figure out how to jump onto the top of the fridge from the countertop and pace around on top of the kitchen cabinets like it's her own personal catwalk the way Hobbes used to. I think she's more chill (and a good bit more little) than he was, but I do hope she tries it some time. ^__^
