Without GPS, much of modern life would falter. Delayed ambulances. Extended power cuts. No cellphone signals. Yet the U.S. has no civilian backup system.

My partner and I have no children, and we try to drive and fly as little as possible due to the climate emergency. I sometimes wonder why. Our friends with children and grandchildren who will inherit this mess are still partying like it’s 1899.

Putting a bike trail through a town is like creating a fountain of money for anyone who serves food or beer. People in lycra come, spend money, and pedal away. (Millersburg Brewing Company, Millersburg OH, on the Ohio to Erie Trail. The food is really good, BTW!)
