I experimented with a different load configuration this time, with almost all of the gear up front.
It handled very well, and climbing out of the saddle was easy. The 'center of gravity shift' that freaks me out about steep grades (which can easily result in wheelies) was significantly reduced with this loading.
The bike tended to oversteer a little, but that's easier than trying to wrestle a bike whose tail is being swung back and forth by a heavy rear load.
"I’m very careful. You know, when I walk downstairs—like I’m on stairs like these stairs—I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record. Just try not to fall because it doesn’t work out well... Just walk nice and easy. You don’t have to set any record." — Donald Trump
Lutnick called Epstein “the greatest blackmailer ever,” "Gross," and "A Sexual Predator" who filmed elites and conspicuously refused to clear Donald Trump at ALL.
The statue honors Trump's "long-lasting bond" with Epstein, which the president denies. The National Park Service took down the statue after one day last week, saying it didn't comply with its permit.

Trump’s potential bid to ‘whitewash’ Harpers Ferry meets pushback - The Baltimore Banner
Maryland Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks called on the federal government to halt efforts to “whitewash American history” at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, they said in a joint letter on Tuesday.
The senators’ letter was sent to the U.S. Department of the Interior two weeks after The Washington Post reported the Trump administration ordered the removal of signs at monuments and sites that were related to slavery.
If you need proof that anti-drug policies are really anti-poor policies: rich people can do all the drugs they want without consequence, while everyone else is at the mercy of the police if they're caught with drugs.
Letter: Peripheral arterial disease is a silent, deadly crisis - The Baltimore Banner
PAD can be detected early with the ankle-brachial index, a simple, noninvasive test that compares blood pressure in the arms and legs. It takes 10 to 15 minutes — and can save lives and limbs.
That is why the proposed Amputation Reduction and Compassion Act of 2025 is so vital. The bill would require Medicare and Medicaid to cover PAD screening for at-risk patients without cost sharing, while also investing in education, new payment models and quality measures to drive down unnecessary amputations.

Florida Fish and Wildlife biologist sues after being fired for Charlie Kirk post
The lawsuit said Brown was fired after reposting on her Instagram account a post from an account called “@whalefact.” The post said, “the whales are deeply saddened to learn of the shooting of charlie kirk, haha just kidding, they care exactly as much as charlie kirk cared about children being shot in their classrooms, which is to say, not at all,” according to the lawsuit.
Does anybody else get these kinds of error messages from archive dot today?
First I get the one at the top... if I click "try again" right away, it usually goes through... but eventually degenerates into the second message or some other hard block. Adding to the weirdness, the URL for the alleged certificate holder changes daily or more, and it's almost always some oddball domain in some off-the-beaten-path country.
I'm supposedly using a good non-ISP DNS... not sure what else it could be... the site itself limiting contacts from a single IP? I don't use it that much!

Trump Advisor Says ICE Agents Will Be at Super Bowl for Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show: ‘It’s So Shameful They Picked Someone Who Seems to Hate America’
Notably, the Halftime Show, presented by Apple Music, is Bad Bunny’s only U.S. concert appearance that’s set for 2026 at this time, as his highly-anticipated Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, which is scheduled to run from December through July 2026, is not stopping in the states. Bad Bunny told I-D magazine last month that his fear of ICE raids was part of the reason why he skipped touring in the U.S.
When Johnson asked Lewandowski if “ICE will have enforcement at the Super Bowl” where Bad Bunny is performing, the Trump advisor responded: “There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else. We will find you and apprehend you and put you in a detention facility and deport you. ...

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."
