And just 80 miles from that
And just 80 miles from that one, 1 killed, another in critical condition after car drives into Mattoon nursing home in suspected DUI crash.
First responders were called to the Odd-Fellow Rebekah nursing home on Lafayette Ave E near Odd Fellow Road around 11:30 a.m.
The Mattoon Police Department said that a Nissan Pathfinder driven by Curtis A. Meadows, 54, crashed into the building. Meadows was arrested for suspicion of aggravated DUI by Mattoon PD.
Two women were in a room at the home when the car hit the building. An 82-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and an 86-year-old was flown to Carle Foundation Hospital in Champaign where she’s listed in critical condition, according to Mattoon PD.

This very sad story is “local” (<100 mi) to me and is making the national news this side of the pond.
Driver of deadly crash at after-school camp is a former State Police employee
Three young children and an 18-year-old killed. She drove right through the building, out the other side, and stopped once she hit a utility pole. Shades of the Wimbledon School crash.
Driver has not been arrested, awaiting toxicology results, malice not suspected.
Here’s approximately where she went off the road into the field.
The couple moved to the west
The couple moved to the west coast and I only occasionally see them when they visit. We weren’t close. They were closer friends with hung over guy.
Hung over guy is a much closer friend now than he was then, and I’ve done lots of riding with him. He’s also become a stronger cyclist than he was that day.

At like 14 hours now. Maybe it’s held up for moderation because of the single link I had in it?
Is there a delay on new forum
Is there a delay on new forum threads appearing? I made a new one in Tea Stop half an hour ago, and it said it was successful but I don’t see it yet.

They’re nowhere near profitable. There’s no plausible path to profitability. They lose dollars or tens of dollars on every use, and are even losing money on their paid users. Your engagement is worth fractional pennies.
That said, I don’t actually use it.

After smoking, they can tackle the puddles of dog pee on the pavement.

I have knee pain occasionally
I have knee pain occasionally. It used to happen more when I had a single-speed. I can usually resolve it by using lower gears to spin more for a week or so. Ride slower, but keep the cadence up, 80 as a minimum.
If I had burning pain even off the bike after trying that, I’d probably take two or three days off cycling, take Ibuprofen (Naproxen), and ice it at least twice a day.

Local to me: 3 injured after multi-vehicle crash in Downtown Peoria.
I cycle through this intersection occasionally, although I more often cross Main on Madison, one block closer to the river.
The speed limit on both roads is 30 MPH.
I’m riding to a block from here tomorrow morning for coffee!
