I am still all welled up. I want to watch this develop, and maybe kick a board their way if it blossoms.
Can we have a "It's not all bad news" thread?

Nothing fancy but quality parts. Better than what I started on back in the day.

There's a woman who's son got killed here recently. She took some donations to build a LONG overdue skatepark in a parking lot with a ton of volunteer hours in her son's name because he always wanted one. I took about 20 years worth of old skateboard shit and just dropped it off at the new park with a free sign.
It's astounding how much such simple little things, obvious things, can completely transform a youth community. I know everyone thinks tahoe is 'recreation mecca bro' but kids can't get around on shitty dangerous mountain roads to even go see friends. Now they have a hub that's not douchey mcmoney ski school crap.
I spent my teens in the back of cop cars due to nothing more than the belligerence of people fighting this kind of stuff. It needs to be squashed whenever possible. Dirtjumps, skateparks, even community theater stuff with open mic nights for awful bands playing green day covers.......such basic stuff that idiots with money in charge never realize that this also deals with drug addiction problems, with school violence, name it. Kids need a place to do things that's not school.

There is still a World Series?Wait. The Astros won the World Series??
I mean... that's just what it's called. It must have some sort of sportsball significance.
its an excuse for drinking over priced crappy beer whilst being otherwise bored out of your mind for 2-4 hours watching 7 out of 9 guys standing around watching two guys play catch

I think he deserves his own thread. This stuff might be super juicy, or it could fizzle.ridemonkey.bikemag.com
A beer can was thrown at Ted Cruz while the senator was riding in the Houston Astros World Series parade, as he's faced repeated fan animosity in recent weeks.

Keep in mind - the continental layout/sea level was pretty different when that meteor hit to the current state. Geology is cool...The Day the Dinosaurs Died

California expected to partner with nonprofit Civica Rx to produce its own low-cost insulin, sources say
It’ll be the first state to produce insulin for its residents, which experts see as a road map for other states to make the lifesaving medication more affordable.

A good story on some local history I never knew about. Nice to see them return the land to the Tribe.

Lon is a good guy! They have an uphill battle to keep that farm in business. It's going to take hard work and finding key employees to morph it into a successful Yakama Nation Farm.
I may even get to have a role at some point.
Fwiw - Lon kicked in $10,000 towards a giant trail project I am working on.

I love tobacco and cocaine. They try to kill me though, so the feeling is clearly not mutual. Had to end that relationship a long time ago.Because he favors neither tobacco nor cocaine?
