In a legislative hearing tonight, and a witness mentioned an ultramarathon race in passing during testimony, so I naturally spent part of the debate looking up the race, the route, and past results. I’m easily distracted.

It is too early in the work year for walking around in a suit in this heat.

Our air district recently took a support position on this bill and I’m looking forward to helping out.

Multitasked a fantasy baseball draft while drinking wine at an Oscars party. For Tigers I got Valdez, Torres, Dingler, Carpenter, and Vest. Most near the end of the draft. We’ll see how this goes.

AI-based astroturfing.

Joey Fatone of *NSYNC shows up for a halftime concert- Sacramento Kings vs Indiana Pacers.

Political chameleon Kevin Kiley is at it again. Remember: He voted for Trump's HR 1, which takes food & health care from millions of people in order to supercharge ICE's budget & pay for massive tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. Don't be fooled, District 6. www.sacbee.com/news/califor...

Sunday night at the punk show- Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls, Wheatland, CA, or as he said close to Sacramento or F’n Red Bluff. Appreciated the reference to Red Bluff, 100 miles away but I lived there for 17 years. Had 2 people give me props for my Homeless Gospel Choir shirt.

Me at the bike shop- I’m going to take a copy of this advertisement for a hydration mix. Also Me- They’re partnering with someone prominently featured in the Epstein Files?! Soon to be me- every time I have to drink it at events, I’ll be reminded of this.

Good job Sacramento!

Thanks to @metsuniverse.bsky.social for a nice looking 1962 from a recent @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social Sunday giveaway!

@eatemuppod.bsky.social Jordan- How long did you think about the idea of a Tigers reunion with former podcast namesake Nicholas Castellanos?

Loving Coal is back in vogue I guess. Buttons were my dad’s from his days as a strip mine regulator in the 80s and 90s. Side note- Oakland Athletics and California Angels were big then too.

I wanted to be at the intersection of Detroit Tigers, baseball cards, C.W.McCall fans, and air quality/climate change, but I’m following the wrong people I guess!

Rush, Neil Young, Lucero, The Hold Steady, Drive By Truckers.

Someone sat down next to me today at a public meeting to let me know they just saw me in a running documentary filmed in 2012. My fifteen seconds of fame that comes back every now and then.

Thanks to @jaywigley.bsky.social for the RAK of 3 cards towards my 1969 set. 522/660. Also to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for getting us all together on the Sunday giveaways.

The curse of high expectations because they give out race numbers alphabetically.

Thank you @scottwiener.bsky.social for your leadership to help streamline heat pump permitting in CA! The #HeatPumpAccessAct will make installations faster, easier, and more affordable for homeowners and contractors. 📈 #SB222 bit.ly/4qNArSG #EnergySky #BuildingDecarb #HeatPumps

Tired: hating the Dodgers because they spend a lot more money than your team does Wired: hating the Dodgers because their ownernership has financial ties to ICE detention centers sdvoice.info/l-a-dodgers-...

Now Trump EPA head, Lee Zeldin, enters the scene with rank dishonesty & theatrical indignation to dispute the NY Times' correct, accurate reporting. But I've read the EPA smoking gun document, I'm a 30+-year clean air lawyer, I understand its meaning better than Zeldin, & I have the receipts. 1/

Navy vs Indiana would be a better football championship game.

My wife took a local legend segment from me on Strava tonight, and I tried this and she told me to gtfo.

Found out she went back to school and just got an actual internship for a Congress member. Hope I wasn’t a bad influence.

I'm so excited to be introducing TWO new energy affordability bills today!

Racing year in review- 1 beer mile, 4 5Ks, 1 5mi, 1 10K, 3 10mi, 3 half marathons, 1 marathon, 5 50Ks, 1 open water swim, 3 sprint tri, 3 olympic tri, 1 half ironman, 1 full ironman (world championships), 15 cyclocross races. Somehow my old body is still intact but it doesn't get any easier.

After a couple years of doing our local marathon, my neighbor was disappointed that his times weren’t getting better, so I said “You should sign up for the local 50K next month and when you do the marathon again it’ll seem easier.” And he fell for it.

Crazy high scoring game at the Pistons/Kings game! Pistons with 90 with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd.

My contribution to the annual Monday Night Beer Run White Elephant exchange, because we have a misguided Red Sox fan in our midst.

The final (of 15) cyclocross race of the season. Always good muddy fun. For next year, I promise I’ll be in the best shape of my life.

what are they hiding

Having a normal Friday drinking trash beer on a layover at the Vegas airport reading skeets about Epstein while waiting for my flight home.

Visiting my 80 yr old parents, and sister and her daughter, in Alabama, we got engaged in bingo, my sister brought prizes, including boxes of Junior Mints. I win, and I say “They’re Junior Mints!” From Seinfeld, and no one knew it was also the “Mulva/Delores” episode. Anyway, look it up.

Data centers for AI could nearly triple San José's energy use. Who foots the bill?

Good Army/Navy turnout in Sacramento. Go Navy, Beat Army!

The perpetual fog in Sacramento, shown in energy on my rooftop solar over the last 11 days compared to last year.

We’re all confused So what’s to lose You can call this song The United States Blues

Slew of Sandbergs from @alanabbs.bsky.social on the blog baseballcardsfan.blogspot.com/2025/12/slew...

Signing up to run a marathon seems like a great idea until you have to wake up at 4am on a Sunday morning.

Thanks to @alanabbs.bsky.social for the chance to acquire a massive haul of Ryne Sandberg cards and some bonus magazines and boxes!!!!

Re-upping this after seeing Wicked For Good yesterday.

New sculptures at the Ferry Building when I came to D/T San Francisco for work today.

Now that’s what I call a real cyclocross race!

I recognize those freebie cards!

Unity ticket- Greene/Fetterman 2028

After 3 years of work, we finally got this signed into law. And they let me be in the photo. www.noozhawk.com/california-a...
