I was reminded this week how important it is to have a well maintained trusty, back-up bicycle for the commute.

I was unable to complete regular repairs of my iron-clad Fuji Absolute 1.3 bicycle in a timely manner for various reasons.
The repairs related to the rear cassette and chain and specifically issues with chain length.
I’ve moved the Absolute off the main floor of the apartment and into the bedroom closet because I’d just rather not look at it or have its unfinished look in my sights.

Environmental law continues to lead successfully with tangible results and wins in litigating against fossil fuels companies as well as winning a number of cases against the Trump administration relatively recently.
Over 36 state and local governments across the country have filed cases over the past decade against fossil fuel (oil) companies for damages caused by their use of air, soil and water. These governments are now having to pay for these damages from their treasuries.

Vermont and New York, according to NYTimesApp, are the first to develop so-called climate superfunds that provide the states with a legal framework to recover the costs of these damages.
