Did I mention I like Disc Golf.
Usually in November I'm looking for a mild window to do my last bunch of garden cleanup... Not a break in the snow to shovel and salt.

Cannot fathom the level of ignorance to do this shit.

Toronto Bike Share announces an online forum on service expansion today at 2:00PM.

Registrations are open until Nov 21st, however are conveniently already sold out as of 11:15 PM.

Somehow I'm not surprised. I want to love this service but they are just so consistently disappointing.

I got some brutal family health news last night so I've spent the day so far in the ravines with Penny (she says hi, btw) to parse. I'm going to try and spend less time online this weekend, but wanted to post some action items re: the upcoming council meeting on Nov. 12.

This is so bizarre, green roofs are a premium they aren't that significant and upcharge, and the downstream benefits are huge.

Think of how small a roof is relative to floor area when dealing with highrises.

There are other TGS premiums to reconsider to reduce costs.
The Province kills Toronto's Green Roof Bylaw and is threatening the Toronto Green Standards. Removing cities' powers to set requirements above the building code is ridiculous... Ontario is huge and you shouldn't have the same requirements in Toronto and Kenora.

Since the bylaw came into force in 2009, more than 1,200 green roofs have been installed across the city.

I don't think I've ever seen a comment in support of daylight savings shifts. Why do we do this? Where is this mystery cabal of time shifters that keep us under their thumb.

Or is it simply bureaucratic inertia
It’s 5:43pm and pitch black outside. Thanks, I hate it.

Impending salt dumpage next Sunday overnight into Monday. Let's see if this forecast holds.

Bickford Park, 9AM Weekdays like clockwork.

I have never seen enforcement and I've been reporting this for nearly a year now.

The fact that someone can film a nuclear reactor being refueled and then post it on the internet just seems wild.

The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.

Ah there we go, we've reached the neglect season for Toronto Bike Share
It's a 46-way tie for most neglected empty Bike Share station in Toronto, each station remaining empty for 71.7 of the last 72 hours.

On the 29th I put on my big boy pants, a warm sweater, and rode to the lake to get in a round of disc golf, we all know how that went for the Jays.

I can make excuses about the weather but yesterday I stayed in.

With a high of 8 today, I feel it's my duty to suck it up and get out there.

It's going to be a while before I stop being salty over that "strike" in the 2nd.

Literally a game changing call.

Not today though...
