Life is a bike path, and I want to ride it all day long. It's kind of what I do already.

I pretty much only listen to CBC. I'd love to see them in this chart. I think they'd be right at the top, maybe left leaning. They have a reputation in Canada for being "liberal propaganda." But I think that's what people who don't listen to it think.

One thing that's interesting is that this is a pyramid. The more an agency leans left or right, the less reliable or accurate they are. So when certain politicians think that "mainstream media" are all leftists or whatever, they're just stating facts!

Unless this sign is designed to fall on speeding cars, I'm not interested. 😤

As a Canadian, I am also annoyed. Especially when we have the nicer one in October. 😀

I've been doing this on my ebike lately, and it's sooooo satisfying!

When I take the bus/lrt from Kanata to St-Laurent for work, I don't get that same level of satisfaction because the bus gets stuck in with the cars on the Kichi Zībī Mīkan. 😑

Alberta and the feds reeps the rewards while BC takes the risks. I wonder what's wrong with this arrangement? 🤔

Last week, I was quite excited about a screening of this queer hockey movie. But I then found out it starts at 9. Yes, starts at! And it was all the way downtown. They would have to drag my sleepy ass out of there when the movie's over!

To paraphrase a friend describing dating apps: "I want to know your personality, goals, ambitions, and I at least want to know if you have a head!"

Good. There's nothing more annoying than when I'm walking on a trail, and I hear "eeeeeeeeeeeeee." I wish the National Capital Comission in Ottawa were just as hard on this.

I definitely relate to salad lady there.

Top? Bottom? No. Salad!

My husband is the kindest, most polite, and most patient person who is always charming to front-line workers. That's why I always let him do the talking. I get my mother's impatience, which is why I'm quiet. 😁

Our recent problem with Marriott, he was able to get us an early check-in!

I drive my husband nuts when I either play Banjo-Kazooie or make weird noises to myself. I'd definitely have to try this double-whamy! 😀

This is totally incel behaviour. Seriously. It's bizarre and kind of a self-righteous attitude.

I kind of so that tbh, but also I don't really expect people to engage with me for that reason. 🤷‍♂️

Lmao. What heritage canopy? And didn't they remove a large chunk of it to put in that massive glass one?

Speaking as a structural engineer myself, it does have a nice traditional trellis. But other than that, the rest is quite bland, and no one seems to really care about it.

I say go for it!

Putting work into breakfast gets a guaranteed immediate result. 😀

I'm staying in from the cold of Ottawa, giving my kitchen a good deep clean.

The trees may be bare, and it's too cold for my legs to be bare, even indoors. But at least we have some sun for once. 😆

It looks like the sun is also finding you well, while hopefully, emails don't. Good vacay, cuz! 😀

Thank you for that. We need allies that have ties all the way to the top who hold these people accountable and hopefully reverse their damaging decisions.

That's a good plan. I actually did have problems logging in, which could only be done when the plane's WiFi was turned on, which seemed to be when the engines turned on.

On my flight out, the IFE had Bluetooth. But it wasn't connecting. It still had an output jack my headphones could connect to. 😀

¡Bueonos días! ¡Este mañana tiene mucho sol aquí!

¿Y tu? ¿Cómo estás?

I've been to the certified pre-owned York in England. The streets were crowded, and cyclists were shouting at people to get off the road.

There didn't seem to be a difference with the newer model. 🤷‍♂️

Back when trucks were purely utilitarian. Now they're just unnecessarily big and seem rarely used for their full purpose, especially when extended cabs reduce the box size. I feel like I get more versatility out of my tiny Toyota Matrix.

Now the Canadians are! 😀
