CAROLINA IS MAKING HISTORY 🤯🌀 The Hurricanes are the FIRST team to start 8-0 in the playoffs since the best-of-seven, four-round format began in 1987 🔥

It’s not quite the end of the world, but Ted Turner had a doomsday video prepared for the last employee at Turner to play when the world ended. Seems only fitting to play it the day of his passing….

Figured I’d make a little different post as I did some racing myself last week! I’m coming down off an incredible week @tourofthegila where I raced in the cat 1 field. I won a stage (yes crazy!), finished 5th overall (also crazy), and won the masters cat 1 40+ overall over Italian legend Fortunato Ferrara. Now after having sometime to reflect I want to share some of the thoughts I had from the race. 1. Family made the racing experience so special for me. I’ve done a lot of bike races, but this one was so good having much of the family together for it. @kourtneydanielson was there keeping me on track, @stevedanielson237 was there grinding in his race at the same time, @alpha_zulu_6 was in “no-fail mission mode” running the race logistics, and Sarah was there inspiring us to dig deep. We just need @stelladdanielson for the next one with the little ones and watch out world! 2. To win you have to be ready to lose. I’ll be honest, racing has so much trauma around it for me I have a long ways to go to really enjoy it, but I am getting there. But what I did “re-experience” was how if you are worried about winning you will often paralyze yourself and not be able to give what it takes. I did have moments where I completely locked into “racing” and just enjoyed going for it. 3. You don’t have to feel well to do well. As a coach I preach this one all the time but man, I really felt it this week. I got that gnarly sinus virus going around and wow, does it bite hard. I really struggled each day on the bike and off the bike I spent wayyyyy too much time worrying about what was going to happen in the bike. Kourtney came to the rescue to keep sending me back out there despite me trying to negotiate with her to sit it out. Wow, I was so glad I did listen to her! 4. The future is bright. Let me tell you, there is some big talent out there coming. I got to race with a lot of the young pros and I also got to hear about the talent coming from my son’s field. There were 5 riders I saw in my race that were all u23 and absolutely could make it to the World Tour. This race always brings talent out, but I would say there is more than in the past this year. I hope these riders keep working hard and team up with someone who actually knows how to get to the world tour. There’s so much to build and the right progression is everything. 5. I’m not done yet. This week was just the beginning of a new chapter for me. Back to work!

This day in 1945, Benito Mussolini and his mistress Clara Petacci are both summarily executed by Italian partisans in Giulino di Mezzegra, Italy. Their bodies were taken to Milan and hung upside down in Piazzale Loreto, where a hostile crowd abused them before they were removed. #WW2

Fire crews are hoping to see some containment on the Tusas Fire by tomorrow morning.

What was happening behind these doors? The district attorney is calling it one of the most heinous cases he's ever encountered.

Happy Earth Day! Did you know New Mexico offers special license plates for various causes? That includes this Pollinator Protection plate, the Acequias Sangra Viva plate, multiple Share with Wildlife plates, and the new Smokey Bear fire prevention plate.

How can we bring these improvements to a free-fare, open bus system like @abqride ? It is sad how many potential riders stay off even our Albuquerque Rapid Transit lines due to issues similar to what BART has been dealing with :/

I remember when the Strait of Hormuz and Walmart used to be opened 24 hours
