Courtney Dauwalter set the Western States 100 course record of 15:29:34 three weeks ago.
Today, she set a course record at the Hardrock 100 in 26:14:08, for a combined time of 41:43:42.
This resets the overall record for this double of 42:12:43 (Jeff Browning, 2016). #HR100

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” scoop.me/housing-first-finla…

Great news coming through. Women being turned away at the polls because the name on the ID is different from the name the polling station has got. Great advance from the Tories: suppressing women voting. Hooray.

Being interesting has nothing to do with being well-travelled, well-read, or unusually employed – and everything to do with succeeding at being a slightly less hidebound and more faithful correspondent of one’s authentic self.
