Sylvia and I took a spectacular walk on the seawall today and stopped for this scene.
For those not quickly flipping past, notice the Sylvia Hotel, bikes on Beach Avenue bikeway, palm trees, a crow, the building with the Douglas Coupland paint job and the Laughing Men sculptures.

#Senakw in #Vancouver is nearing the end of the first phase. New rental homes within easy walk or roll of BC's two largest job centres, plus parks, beaches, ocean, shopping. Let's build a lot more.

If #Vancouver has a soul, and isn't just a giant real estate Ponzi scheme with mountains and sea, then this is it.
Silliness and whimsey, posted alongside a bracket of choices around Provincial symbols that has pitted the McBarge against Mr. PG, among others.

I decided long ago that much of what people do and think is not rational. From the stock market to mob behaviour to, now, belief that the government controls the weather.

Another #Barge at #Vancouver's Sunset Beach, hauling away a derelict sailboat. I counted 4 boats, 11 people, 2 cranes and a barge. It's always busy on the water there and always fun to watch.

I think Trump will be selling those soon, along with his Immigration Gold Card (a bargain at only $5M).
unless I can buy "guaranteed won't get detained and sent to a concentration camp" vouchers for me and a few million other people that's a no for me dog
