Thanks to Will Todman for sharing his Breakthrough Covid experience:

“Dear PoPville,
I was biking this morning (Tuesday) on Jefferson at 7:30 AM as I passed someone and we exchanged a ‘good morning’ to each other. 5 minutes or so later I passed her again to my surprise. We struck up a brief conversation on short cuts and (not) obeying red lights. (more…)

Thanks to a couple of readers for sending: “oddly they are tearing up all of the new sod on the Hearst field. Here’s a video.” (more…)
