I had a dream that I was attending a literal horse trial.

Temple Grandin was sitting next to me. I said something that upset her.

Then an ambulance woke me up.

I never really liked handshakes. I’m glad they went away during COVID. Kinda sad they’re back.

I appreciate that a place called Modern Electric Lunch closes at 2. But I could really go for some brunch for dinner every once in a while.

Every once in a while I remember this place exists and I’m sad I haven’t visited more often.

I totally forgot about mosquitos.

Encountering a usual Winnipeg amount of mosquitos on vacation is jarring.

If we brought back mountain bike police, could we spend the police budget on bike lanes?

The union might demand it, for workplace health and safety reasons. Right?

We need to figure out our sidewalk closing shit in this town.

This sidewalk is very much not closed.

I moved the barricade. You’re welcome.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Any idiot can open a cannabis shop but you have to own a hotel with 40 bookable rooms to sell beer?!
