The largest hail I've ever experienced in Flagstaff fell this am for 1-2 minutes. Luckily the majority of it was only nickel size (the small one) and the storm cell that generated a tornado warning was fast-moving at 35-40 mph.

Palo's precipitation fell short of the 3-4" prediction for Flagstaff. Radar showed the heaviest rainfall events up on the rim had moved slightly to the east of here after the storm initially stalled over Sedona and VOC areas dumping a couple inches in the first 24 hours. #hurricanepalo #noraz

(1/3) Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have released the second part of their Philadelphia Freedom Cut project today, sharing official video of the next seven songs from their Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour finale.

The wildlife overpass on I-17 coming in to Flagstaff is nearing completion and, thanks to the Infrastructure Bill, is expected to reduce roadkills and elk-strikes. For those who want their hard earned taxpayer money to go to the top 1% and hate anything Biden did I hope you never hit an elk at 75mph

My custom Coconino Cycles single-speed, Frame #69, has its own bottle opener. Steve Garro the builder was on frame #58 when I secured it, had to wait a year and a half but it was worth it. The bike has treated me well and is still so much fun to ride if single-speed's your thing. #HechoinFlagstaff

Happy Birthday #carlossantana ! 🎂🎉 Side story: After 8th grade I took a gap-year and lived in Guadalajara solo, went to school and studied guitar, his nephew Carlos was my mentor. Totally grateful for that experience!

Doing backyard listening to this, heat's raging, hoping the monsoon starts up and rescues us soon. The Pocket Fire down on the rim hasn't helped but there was no smoke-inundation in town today. Woohoo!

Wtf is up with iPhone autosuggest algorithm? They can't employ AI to increase the efficiency of their platform's performance? Since when is, "say hey" anywhere close to, "day Jerry"? Questioning my decision to pay such overrated prices for timApple products...

The latest trend in Northern AZ is for the utility #aps to completely shut down portions of its electrical grid during windy/dry days to protect its profits. Good thing for old-school tactics! #timetogosolar

Ice Bike got no love this year until now when I put air in the tires. Maybe next season we'll get some snow? #landshark #singlespeed #cannondaleultrafattyheadshock #pauldropouts #oneoftwo

Did #bluesky just take down all the reposts of trump getting booed at MSG? I just got on 15 mins ago and there were a dozen reposts of trump getting booed, @ MSG during the National Anthem, on my feed and now they've disappeared.
