News: Sylvia Poggioli, whose signoff from Rome is such a distinctive part of @NPR that you might think it’s National Poggioli Radio, says she’s retiring after 41 years at NPR.

This year 4,726 Denver residents received a $400 rebate off an e-bike or a $900 off an e-cargo bike (low-income residents can get more). According to a city survey, recipients say their new e-bike/e-cargo bike is replacing 3.4 car trips per week(!). washingtonpost.com/transport…

How Denver used e-bike vouchers to get thousands out of their cars

The Colorado program could be a national model as cities look to motorized bikes as a way to cut emissions and ease traffic.

These maps make me appreciate that intercity rail in the US seems better than that in Canada or Mexico. Have I missed something?

Mount Rainier is NOT erupting. We have looked at the cloud that has caused concern from multiple webcams and have determined that it is a lenticular cloud. In addition, the USGS reports no indications of unusual seismic activity. ~pw
