I’ve been crying nonstop because I’ve had to confront the idea of losing my best friend. She suddenly deteriorated and has a bunch of things. Her age makes it hard to guess what recovery will be. She’s already 14, which far exceeds the lifespan for her breed (typically plagued with chronic health conditions, which she doesn’t have).
This morning she regained some energy (she couldn’t walk yesterday) and started eating again.
@b0rk Hehe! I posted about this and NOT 2 MINUTES afterward, I found your :fediverse: post. I must have been living under a rock NOT noticing you were here. 🤓
Hospices in Four States to Receive Extra Scrutiny Over Concerns of #Fraud, Waste and Abuse
Federal regulators have announced enhanced oversight of new #hospices in #Arizona, #California, #Nevada and #Texas, targeting providers highlighted by a ProPublica investigation.
Apparently my stolen Rivendell has been spotted at Laney flea market in Oakland for $600. I guess it’s a good thing that they know what it’s worth (since other nice bikes go for $50).
Between ‘law enforcement is useless’ and ‘it’s there’, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do.
#BikeTooter#Oakland can any east bay bike friends advise? (I know it’s probably just go there and bargain and pay up)
@skinnylatte That's terrible that that happened. I don't know if I'd rather never see my bike again or see it at a place like that knowing I may not have the funds to get it back. Solidarity!
Bring your bike on BART. However, many elevators in BART stations don’t work so I would hesitate to bring heavier bikes, e-bikes or loaded touring bikes I can’t carry.
Every other subway car has a bike area. This one is in one of the newer trains, which are much nicer.
@skinnylatte I saw in your profile that you like steel bikes. I just birthdayed myself a nice little surly to celebrate 50 years. Not getting smashed on my old bike that was abandoned in my yard. That one had a good 14-year run!!
@skinnylatte I had to wait a little longer for it than I'd like. I was trying to get it in the middle of the global bike shortage. Still was able to get it before my birthday, however!
It's the first brand new thing I've ever bought for myself for my birthday
