I am putting a whole lot less effort into this Halloween business.

But I present "A fish on a bicycle".

Arts can't work in a blue collar town?

#hamont laughs at you.

Hey Ontarioans who bike and also have high blood pressure. Join me so we can balance out the drivers!

I don't know. I wear what I like and what feels comfortable. As I am opposed to stuffing my body into a cycling jersey like a sausage, it's tank tops. What you wear doesn't make you a "real bike rider" either way.

Now the sunglasses? That's the real fight.

I left my cave and have taken up selling travelling cheese at Ottawa Street's #SewHungry. Stop by and say hello.

I will tell Tuna you said that. As you know, she becomes enraged & ferocious without a dog park visit.

This was her yesterday, furious:

Yes, I am still here folks. Just a silent undercurrent! And some tail wagging. #hamont

More Tuna ! (Proud mom here)

Today, Tuna & I joined the small but mighty crowd of bike riders with canine backpacks. We ordered a K9 Sport Sak!!!

Stay tuned for adventures!

It's with sadness that I share that my partner Daniel left for his final ride on Tuesday. He went in peace & comfort.

Somewhere out there he is biking with a crew of Spiderman fans with an incredible tailwind at their backs.

Ride free, Daniel, ride free ...

If this is your property mgmt company's handiwork, you should fire them. Once this freezes(and it will), no one with a disability device will be able to make it down this sidewalk for the next week.

This young lady decided to parkour off the furniture, hurt her widdle, delicate ankle and cause big ouchies. And this Mom is tolerating her sadness. Because there is nothing sadder than a sad, ouchy beagle.

Stay tuned for more sad stories from Tuna.

Also about unsafe workplaces. Perfectly ok for "lower" immigrants to pay for progress with their lives. Railroads & canals come to mind.

If you missed the moon last night, I saved a #hamont pic for you!

It's the end of world civilization, folks.

If there ever was a sign this is it.

Day 5 of @communauto.bsky.social Hunger Games. Geesh, the other side gave up really fast. Either they are still Festivusing or waiting for a coordinated attack tomorrow.

Three cars today, 5 minutes apart.

For those wondering, this is who we go see every day. #hamont

The @communauto.bsky.social Flex Hunger Games have begun in earnest.

Took a bus to the "hoarding" section, stole my 7 am ride back (coincidentally). Now back to the hospital with Ms Tuna.

Ha! Take that you Flex Hoarders!

Well I love @communauto.bsky.social but today is going to be a struggle getting a beagle over to see her Dad in the hospital. Btw, it's rarely this busy. #hamont

It's a snowy day here in #hamont but Juliet & Lauren are here to wish you the best Friday before a big holiday.

Be kind. Be patient. Someone else might need your kindness.

Happy Friday from myself & Tuna (my 18 kg "puppy" who clearly does not understand consent or the rules of engagement at 7 am).

Hope you all have a great day!

For those wondering on an update on my partner, well we keep, keeping on. Here he is 15 months in on a #GBM diagnosis with his beloved dog Tuna.

Another stressful day at the office for Pirate Cat aka Lauren.

Interesting move on Strava's part.

But what if they did winter heat maps? Because every year round commuter has to make route changes.

Better yet, what about female only night maps? That would say a lot about how safe a city feels to 50% of the population.
