I cry when I places filled with people ignoring reality.

I also cry for no reason at all these days.

Hang on friend!

The community was very welcoming. The ride was well run. I even kept up with the real bicyclist for a few minutes.

It was a really good time.

Each one is great in it's own way.
I hope someday you will publish a book. I'll buy one.

I think I'm getting familiar with your sense of style. Often enough, I'll see your photos before your tag and think "yep, gotta be DemoTex". I'd guess you spend some time looking for "just that right light".

Stay safe, although if you're on station at your new lookout (Pilot Peak or Sunset?) you're probably safer anyway.
