I saw a neighbor loading a very small child on the back of their bike this morning and now I want to befriend that neighbor on the basis of "I saw them on a bike once."
Isn't this pretty much how #BikeHFX got started?
And nobody has ever wanted to befriend someone because "I saw them drive a car once."

The Disability Rights Coalition in NS took the provincial government to court over this exact issue and won.

I'm hanging out at The Bonfire on Robie St for a bit if anyone wants to join me. I brought board games because I thought they were doing that tonight. I think it's technically only for Christmas Day. Ah well.

Explaining to a coworker why I was yelling no, no, no while I was alone in my office today.
"Because I want my computer to do what I want it to do, not what I told it to do."

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

Happy Christmas story from my neighborhood:
Someone posted in the community group asking for Christmas help. People recognized the name as the local crossing guard.
The next morning there was a lineup of parents and children with gifts, and a traffic jam of people stopping with gifts.
Santa is real🎅

The Brown University shooter rented a car in Boston, changed the plates, and abandoned it in New Hampshire. The police were able to locate it quickly.

The power went out at work, which was actually a good thing since I had been there more than 12 hours and it forced me to leave.
It's not showing up on the outage map, but it's definitely out.
Anyway, I would have turned the lights out if I knew which ones were on.🤷♀️💡

Looks like power is out in Bayers Lake.
If you had shopping planned, check with the stores before you head out.

Hey Halifax,
Do you like singing Christmas Carols?
December 18th at Fort Massey. Come request your favourite carol and we'll sing a verse or two of as many as we can fit into an hour, then head downstairs for cookies and hot chocolate.

As flu season and the holidays overlap, please remember when you go to parties and events:
If you're dancing with your honey,
And your nose is getting runny,
Don't think it's funny,
Cuz it'snot.

I got a good stash at the bake sale at work today.
If anyone wants to pop in for a cookie and a cuppa over the holidays I'm happy to oblige.
Also grabbed a bottle Palestinian EVOO.

I have two sets of winter tires on rims to give away.
They each probably only have a winter left in them, but what do you want for free, and then you have rims.
One set was on a 2012 Mazda 3 the other on a 2013 Mazda 3.
Sizes are in the photos.
