The choice was to buy a house or have avocado toast. Dust Mite chose violence.

A 15 mile r/t shopping trip (which is not my record; I’ve ridden my xtracycle out to the New Seasons in Happy! Valley! and that’s closer to 30 miles) out to the Clackamas Costco. I didn’t need that much food (mainly snacks for the bears) but Russell asked for soda and I brought back 30 pounds of Coke (bringing the total weight of the cargo up to ~55-60 pounds.)
One of the staffers at Costco asked where I was coming from, and was dumbfounded when I said Sellwood. They took this picture, too, so I didn’t have to race a self-timer to get in the photo.

I spent the first 60 years of my life trying my damnedest to avoid being photographed, so now that I’m in a body I’m happy with I don’t know how to pose myself so I don’t look like a gawky plump stick insect.

A northbound Coast Starlight showed up just as we got off the trolley on the way back from the antifa rally, so I had to stop and take some pictures as it passed by.

There’s a lunar eclipse going on (ending now, I think) and took a few pictures of it.
With a 55mm lens :-)
It’s a little red gumdrop with very few surface features!

I tried to make a Dust Mite sugar cookie, but, alas, the finished product only slightly resembles one ;-)

~36kg of kitty litter. A bit much for the amount of air left in the bob yak’s wheel, but at least I had what I laughingly call a bike pump (the full-length pumps have a sort of retro flair to them, but they don’t inflate tires nearly as well as modern minipumps with better heads do) and it was enough to shovel air into it before I headed home.
