Another day, another record.
Yesterday’s high of 101° pipped the previous record of 100°, set all the way back in 1944, when America was still fighting fascists rather than electing them.
Every day brings a new high, or a new low, depending upon your perspective.
Now it seems we want to start a pissing match with Brazil. Jaysis H., etc. As if things aren’t already stupid-hot enough around here.
How many Brazillions will that cost us? How many is a Brazillion*, anyway?
* Remember when we thought that guy was as bad as it could ever get?
Mad Blog Media 
It’s encouraging to see so many step out of their professional lane to call out this criminally incompetent and criminally criminal administration. Thank you from a long-timer.
The heat solution… fill the Riv’s frame tubes with ice water and rig up a straw to stay hydrated. Don’t worry about metal shavings and such. We all need more fiber yes? Feel free to use my suggestion as I haven’t taken a patent out .
Always thinkin’, ain’tcha? Good on ye, mate.
Yesterday we were a degree away from another high-temp record and a few geezers short of a full Geezer Ride. Only three of us made the meetup and one went straight back home from there, saying he wasn’t feeling up to snuff.
Could’ve been the heat. Could’ve been that the absentees were mostly the junior officers (in their 60s rather than 70-80+) and doing something a tad earlier and more epic than the (mostly) slow-and-social Geezer Ride.
My 80-year-old comrade and I soldiered on, and we were both feeling a tad toasty at the final rest stop at the Michial Emery trailhead. Happily, there’s a pump for refilling water bottles/watering dogs, so we didn’t need to top off the tubes. I’d forgotten to bring my titanium King Cage straw anyway.
Perfection for launching spitwads around doorways
I guess Herb hasn’t yet considered the aero advantage to hydration brassieres.

When will the rider’s union tell the UCI to piss off. This is the dumbest shit I have ever heard. Maybe donnie dainty digits took over and wants to inspect all boobs before start of each stage.
So many boobs in DC, they’ll run out of camelback tubes before they know it.
Boobs they got; balls, not so much. You can see why they worry s’much about who’s using which bathrooms. They don’t want anyone, male, female, or otherwise, to sneak a peek at their punk junk.
Yep. Every accusation is a confession. They want to protect little kids? Only so they can exploit them theirselves.
Well, 2023, 2024, and 2025 were the top three hottest years on record. Looks like 2026 will slide into the yellow jersey with 2024 and 2025 completing the podium. Get used to it, it’s out of the saddle and sprinting to the tipping points.
Donvict wants his little buddy jair back at mara lardo. Waaaaaaaah! I want my hair and jair back! Want some cheese with that whine? When is someone, anyone, gonna tell this evil little asshole to fuck off. How ’bout it Pirro? That’s a worthy glass ceiling to break through. Then he will say you’re nasty.
Iran isn’t enough, we want to add Brazil to the mix? Ironically Brazil is one of maybe eight nations out of the entire UN roster that is NOT currently at war. I believe it’s Switzerland, Japan, Qatar, Mauritius, Uruguay, Chile, Botswana, Costa Rica, Vietnam, Panama, and Brazil.
But hey, let’s ban Russia from international hockey. That will learn them. If they try to get on our ice, will sic ICE on them.
We are truly living in a simulation.
