  i love the life i have here in this tiny town in the #pnw! i rode my bike onto the ferry to a nearby island and then rode my bike to a restaurant i have been wanting to try a few miles away. upon arrival, as i was figuring out where to park my bike, one of the restaurant staff arranged an extension cord for me to charge for my bike and i sat on their lovely deck and ate a delicious meal. then i rode back to the ferry and rode home. gorgeous day! \o/ #BikeTooter

  got some new glasses yesterday and the fact that they sit up a bit higher on my nose/face so that my relaxed line of sight passes through more of the close-up vision part of my progressive lenses is a huge improvement. i am very far-sighted, and although i have single-vision glasses just for my desktop computer use (mostly gaming), sitting on the couch with my laptop meant i kept tilting my head back and tensing my jaw to see clearly. so much better now!

  does anyone else pick music based on the sky/weather? when i get up in the morning, after maybe 10-20 min of silence while i recombobulate, i typically pick a station on @somafm that "coordinates" with the state of the sky outside. if it's sunny, maybe groove salad or groove salad classic, or DEFCON radio. if it's gloomy/rainy, more like space station or deep space one, or perhaps drone zone if it's foggy...

  it's unclear if this will actually get as far as hard requirements for the passive monitoring stuff, which is what i object to--totally fine with those "blow in a tube" setups for people who have been conviced of a DUI--this report is pretty down on it https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/2026-03/Report-to-Congress-Advanced-Impaired-Driving-Prevention-Technology.pdf https://infosec.exchange/@IanHill/116228389759054226
