Bike lanes are a problem where I live as the roads are too narrow, to begin with, and they cannot be widened to accommodate bike traffic. Plus we live in a very old town that is a tourist destination on the weekends. We have a problem with motorcycles and car traffic so add in bicycles and you are asking for a disaster.
Yep - same here in our little Somerset village (pop 3,000). The narrow roads are unsuitable for vehicles and 'knocks' are frequent - cycles have nowhere to go.
In 1995, my adopted brother was killed by a car collision with his bike - he stood no chance. His loss will stay with me forever - he was a brilliant engineer and destined for great things in natural 'vacuum energy' research.
Thank you for sharing the article. I did not know about vacuum energy but it does sound interesting. I am sorry for the loss of your brother in the prime of his life. Perhaps he is on the other side of the vail assisting mankind in these types of scientific discoveries. I only mention this as I have read many near-death or people being pronounced dead and when they come back to life they have some very interesting stories to tell about the spirit world and how knowledge of many things is easily accessible. My sister was near death in a hospital a few years ago. As she woke up from sleeping she saw our deceased mother and her parents at the foot of her bed discussing if it was her time to leave earth. It was decided that she needed to remain and regain her health as she still had things to accomplish. True story.
Thank you Charlotte and for sharing your wonderful and first-hand experience of the energies in our universe of which we have no understanding. I am pleased for you and for your sister to have transcended the call to the other side - clearly, as you said, her mission in life has not yet ended. I read this is little book years ago: 'Illusions' (The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah) by Richard Bach https://www.amazon.co.uk/Illusions-Adventures-Reluctant-Richard-Bach/dp/0099427869
I am 78 this year and have been an adventurer and lifelong yachtsman all my life having come near death at least three times; first by air, when I stalled my Cessna 150 on approach to landing. Second by sea, when I fell overboard from my yacht in the English Channel; and third by land in a car accident.
My mission on earth also has not yet concluded. I am a Christian Deist, having an undying belief in a power in the universe greater than I. May your God, as you understand Him, walk with you.
Researchers found a significant drop in grip strength in male millennials age twenty to thirty-four, from an average of 117 pounds of grip force in 1985 to only 98 pounds in 2016. Surprisingly, grip-strength loss was also detected in women. Loss of muscle mass is associated with lower testosterone levels. Is it at all surprising that between 2000 and 2013 the use of supplemental testosterone in men has skyrocketed? https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/feminised-men?
"True" speech is dangerous ... to liars. That's why censorship is so vital to these people. They censor the true speech that is a threat to their power, control, position and agendas.
My most amusing moment of the week was when I read a headline that described De Santis' actions as 'a political stunt'.
Whereas, stating that 'all are welcome' when in fact you scream until they're removed from your exclusive vicinity is absolutely NOT a political stunt....
Leslie and Fizzy--I was just reading the list of your reads. My list is not that extensive and I am constantly reading, but how do we move forward with all this extremely well-written documentation of pervasive bad faith, hypocrisy, criminal behavior etc, etc, etc. My brain is achy and swollen with all the crap being thrown our way and with no consequences for those who inflict the harm which includes the media.
Wait.. what.. i thought hate had no home here and we could all coexist. I guess not in MV.
Haha, adding a meme.. stand by
I bet they hired Quint to do their dirty work.. lol 😆

I am waiting for a big storm to hit Martha's Vineyard and do some needed realignment.
Ah, climate change!
Yes, but we used to call it seasonal weather fluctuations. New names, new crises!

Easily the most important thing you’ll read all weekend. https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/09/17/why-orwell-matters/
Yep. As Voltaire said, 'If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize'
With the reputed prices of property in Martha's Vineyard, one wonders what the cost of a bottle of Martha's Wine must be. Eye-watering?

These are great. Keep'em coming folks.
Thats odd.. even if you just cut and paste the url on top of your browser instead of the share button?
Thanks sorry. The stack techies are in Martha's Vineyard for the weekend..
Does that include a whole rainbow?

Just me musing about our circumstance.
