“In a drastic attempt to protect their beachfront homes, residents in Salisbury, Massachusetts, invested $500,000 in a sand dune to defend against encroaching tides. After being completed last week, the barrier made from 14,000 tons of sand lasted just 72 hours before it was completely washed away”

The #Massachusetts climate roadmap needs a detour – but MassDOT doesn't want to change course.
The Commonwealth is on track to miss its short-term EV fleet goals by a wide margin – but even though that strategy is falling short, state officials still refuse to invest more in public transit alternatives:

Mt Wachusett on a hot day. Left Bolton around 8am. Made it to the top around 9:40am. And we decided that was not enough climb for the day, so we made the summit loop 3x 🤣 which increased about 900 feet elevation gain for the ride.
Got a flat with 0.3 miles to go at Bolton. I continued riding the flat and changed the tube when I got home. And I tried using CO2 cartridge for the first time! Gotta practice!
Stopped at Nan’s kitchen in Stow for lunch. Got a delicious Salmon bowl!

A new visitor showed up yesterday.
A Gray Fox.
It’s the first time I’ve ever seen one. What a beautiful animal! The head and some of its markings share a similarity with the Red Fox, but then you SEE THAT FUR and you realize you’re seeing something quite special.
(And apparently they can climb trees.)

My shed isn’t just a home for Northern Watersnakes, Eastern Phoebes, and Terror Birds ™
Eleven days ago I discovered a Monarch chrysalis up under the far corner of the shed awning. It was inches from last year’s chrysalis!
Yesterday was the emergence! Travel well, my little friend.
