On a more personal note, if I never travel again, it'll be because I can't stand the heartbreak of falling in love with animals I'll never see again.

As my time in France comes to a close, I'm happy to know there really are places that love people and give them punctual and pleasant public transportation options. I'm also sad that so few places in the US offer either.

I'm going to be very annoying to be around upon my return to the US.

Another spectacular Biarritz sunset.

Biarritz sunset. The Basque Country is the home of the beret. As my host explained, it's worn here by French men and worn in Paris by American women.

In Biarritz. Fun fact: surfing arrived in Europe in 1957 when a friend of the (American) director of the film version of The Sun Also Rises brought his surfboard here from California. #lesurfing

Video sent by my host last night showing just how much Schubert loves the toy I got for him.

A generalisation: the French are terribly blasé about the excellent quality of life they've made for themselves. Riding on trains that go 300km/h without breaking out into song, eating good bread and delicious cheese in the afternoon without acting like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally.

I think I'm experiencing a second sexual awakening from being on a train that's traveling 186mph 🥵

Feeling a little heartbroken that NYC will never have autonomous subway cars or protected platforms because of something as simple as policy + funding. Paris has figured out how to make the city work for people and NYC's best efforts pale in comparison.

I was a guest in this good boy's home for a couple of nights and I choked back tears when we said goodbye. The stuffed elephant is a parting gift from me because I love you, Schubert!

I wasn't prepared for how much I enjoy rubber tire metro cars.

Bikes definitely outnumber cars in Paris, like 3-to-1. The diversity of bicycles and cyclists is truly remarkable.

I've yet to see any stickers advertising how one can learn Kid Rock songs on any instrument.

I know the Dishonorable Sean Duffy would like to have all of these people in cars and driving through the Holland Tunnel but I suspect most people prefer to go by ferry, especially on beautiful days like this. #ferriesarefun #seanduffyisagarbageman

I quit my job and I'm going to France. I have to come back and start at a new job, sure, but that's a problem for future me.

I don't like any of Walter Goggins' performances and I hope he stops showing up everywhere.

This video is perfect, especially when you learn it happened as this man was driving his Super Tough Man Truck™ into the parking lot of a business for "Self Reliance and Civilian Tactical Enthusiasts" www.instagram.com/p/DJc9S_MsXND/

This just in from a New Jersey Bike / Walk Coalition email blast. 😳 New Jersey is the deadliest state for pedestrians, where traffic fatalities are now double that of homicides.

Josh Gottheimer's new ad prominently features AI-generated imagery and it adds to the long list of reasons that I hope he's absolutely pummeled in the primary. #njgov #nj #njdems

Join me at the Great Jersey City Cleanup next month! Picking up litter is a great activity to do with others (or solo with headphones + music) and the city makes it easy by providing gloves, bags, and grabbers. #keepjerseycitybeautiful

The current #Jeopardy champ is the only one in recent memory that isn't an insufferable jabroni and I hope I get to cheer him on for weeks to come.
