Rode my 1000th mile today:


The Black Lives Matter sign is still there. (Well, it was a couple hours ago, anyway.)

Yay for large multiples of ten. I am about to hit a million meters on my rowing machine (not so impressive, as I bought it in 2007 and only use it in spurts).

I put up a Black Lives Matter sign in our yard a couple of hours ago. So far, so good.

Typically our BLM sign only gets stolen at night. We've had one stolen in broad daylight with witnesses (early on, before we had the camera and the neighbors didn't get the license plate). One passer-by picked it up dumped it on the lawn twice, but the cops recognized him and told him to please stop. He was claiming that you can't put a political sign in the road right-of-way, which wasn't true, and he didn't object to other people's signs in similar locations, so we kinna doubt that story.

right now the blm sign is in the middle of one side of the yard, rather than near the curb. The roofers left a large sign advertising themselves in what would be the obvious place. I have asked them to remove it, and they say they will pick it up when they're in the area, whenever the heck that might be. It's very sturdy, and I already deal with too much plastic, so I'm not going to throw it in the trash, but it's annoying.
