Okay, friend has obtained a beater bicycle... now to help him fix it up and see how long it lasts and if it will get stolen locked outside at his apartment complex. (beater but good frame/components... the best kind of beater, no market or resale value but great transportation capability). #BikeTooter

#Random The best way to avoid mid-day snacking on junk food is to develop an avoidance for palm oil, LOL. (it makes me break out). So far I have rummaged through every piece of junk food here (candybars et al) and they all have palm oil, thus, I have not eaten any junk food here (yet).

Ah, nothing to see folks, it's all fine. Move along, move along...

More protest signs from this weekend. #TeslaTakedown #Tesla #protests

There seems to be an unhappiness with someone in particular at these protests. 🤔

Interesting satellite signature post-Myanmar earthquake. No open high resolution photos yet available, but this cloud of smoke appeared yesterday 3/28 after the earthquake. Shows this is approximately the site of a small village.

Possibilities are: fire triggered by earthquake, fire triggered by military activity, agricultural burning (which I doubt would happen the day of a massive earthquake). Dust? Unclear. Anyway. Near the epicenter.
