Slightly taken aback yesterday by someone admiring my late-1990s Dawes Expedition bike - apparently classic touring bikes are fashionable again! Makes me want to clean it up a bit…

Today in Labor History February 8, 1887: The Dawes Act created a U.S. government-imposed system of private property on Indigenous lands. It forced Native Americans to “assume a capitalist relationship with property” that did not previously exist in their cultures.

Desperados Under the Eaves
Remembering Warren Zevon!
One of the finest lyricists to ever put pen to paper. I urge you to explore.
Enjoy every sandwich!
“Don't the sun look angry through the trees
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
Heaven help the one who leaves”

I went on a #BikeTooter shopping trip earlier, to #Waitrose* in #Cowbridge (ikr) on my #TourDeFer. The purpose of the trip was to obtain wedding anniversary flowers (thanks), and parked next to this old skool #Dawes #SuperGalaxy. The owner appeared and we had a happy 20 minutes complimenting each other on tyres (#Shwalbe #MarathonPlus) and comparing notes on gears and brakes. His were centre-pull.
*waitrose is an upmarket supermarket. It sells shizzle like mussels and #caviar

Theft of Indigenous Land
Today’s listening: ‘Misadventures of Doomscroller’, the latest album by Dawes.
I plumped for the 3 x 10 inch coloured vinyl box set version of this release which may, or may not, have been a bit of an error.
For one thing, the ‘opaque brown’ vinyl is a pretty repulsive colour! Also, as there is one track per side, this involves a lot of ‘getting up to turn the vinyl over’. However, there is something pleasing about that aspect as well!
The album as a whole is very good!
