@ParkerTechGuy I will go out but this was my long run day. Hope it's terrible out tomorrow for my jog. Feels much more fulfilling. Last winter I had a few times I came back with icicles on my face.
@echoteecat southwest Denver, only a dusting still. Seems so far like someone bought an the bananas for nothing.
Sometimes we still get the dump of snow and the timing was just wrong....we'll see.
@ParkerTechGuy went #running for 11 miles in Denver /Lakewood this morning. Was so disappointed to have no snow. Feels much more of an accomplishment to run in bad weather.
I only meant to go 10 miles... Took a wrong trail and backtracked thanks to the overcast skies hiding the front range compass.

I am so old that I can remember when other people's achievements were considered to be an inspiration, rather than a grievance. https://twitter.com/ThomasSowell/status/1369654186338566150 #Mises

Dear black people: defend the rights of white people with the same vigor that you wish they would they would use in defending your rights.
I'm tired, I don't want to go #running

After months of diet and exercise: "I wonder if I'd look ok in a slim-fit shirt?"
After one large-ish brunch: "I wonder if they make maternity clothes for men..."
@MountainJay I like it. Combining the two, the red Colorado C aligns with where the "Soviet Colorado" Would go.
@MountainJay tempted to get some stickers like this but made for Colorado... https://dougwils.com/books-and-culture/s7-engaging-the-culture/sticklers-stamping-out-stickers.html
@prchrskd you could afford to take a ton of pictures? I did not have that kind of wealth. 😂

Colleague: Aha, what's wrong with Teams? I haven't tried it.
*tries Teams for two minutes*
Colleague: Ok, yeah, this is not good.
