Yeah im an “amateur local cartographer” (couldn’t make it to Eisner Cove Wetland before part two of this piece)

Sometimes municipal politics makes you reapply deodorant in the city hall bathroom to cover your stress sweat
But then sometimes you are reminded you’re still in a small city and councillors will shred at the local pump track. Yay
