A few pics from the Vermont trip during 4th of July, in Woodstock VT.
Pic 1&2: in celebration of 4th of July, I went on a ride with an American themed tank top, instead of tight cycling jersey. Took a bit aerodynamic penalty.
Pic 3: Rode up Mt Ascutney - one of the most difficult climbs in the US. 3.5 miles long, 2300 feet elevation gain, 12% average grade. My legs were screaming all the way to the top, but I enjoyed it a lot. It was a humid day, and mosquitoes were crazy when I was moving slow. Were they laughing at me? 😅
Pic 4: Quechee covered bridge.

I have created an US-sized (3.5x2in) version of the #FediCard , as well as written some explanations and instructions.
I would _really_ appreciate if someone here who participates in the upcoming #NoKings #protests for #July4th would print some of these out, distributed them, and told me what the reaction of the recipients was.
As the firecrackers pop, Benson won't settle down in Safe Place (on a cozy blanket in the cool, dark bathroom) until I sit on the toilet, arrange the blanket, rub his back, and tell him he's ok in my *Mommy Loves You* voice.
He's snoring now.
We all need someone to soothe us and tell us we're ok right now.
Except MAGAs. They can fuck off. (It's not my ministry right now to comfort them. Maybe someone else can do it.)
