Went on two walks today FOR MY HEALTH and almost got run over on BOTH. And BOTH times I waved my arms at the drivers but they were in their own worlds looking the opposite direction.
And yes I was on the sidewalk with the right of way both times.

Appears David Thomson, the richest person in Canada and Winnipeg Jets/True North co-owner, is still fuelling ICE and the anti-immigration nightmare in the U.S.

Trash collectors smashed our bin and now they won't pick up our garbage. Whatever, it happens. But its been almost a month and we haven't received our replacement yet.

I'm just glad its winter while we hoard garbage on the porch.

Been trying to take lunch time walks when I'm at the office, but I am learning that the neighbourhood behind our building is so unwalkable, even just for excersize. I've never thought about it much before, but I now hate bays when it comes to development and city planning.

Hey North End lovers! Do you love history? Do you love culture? Do you like stories about amazing people doing amazing things? Do you want to see the North End thrive while celebrating it all? Theres a new group of rabblerousers doing some cool things, maybe you want to join us?

Am I the only baby earred weirdo who can't wear standard ear buds? I forgot my headphones at home so I'm wearing the back up ear buds I keep in my drawer. They hurt my little ear holes and won't stay in more than a minute or two at a time.

No Arlington Bridge, and Main Street @ Higgins is closed due to a fire - but no, the north end is not seperated from the city, not at all!

councillors who keep asking this - are you going to actually provide a central, accessible space for community connections (with core funding for building maintenence) - or nah?
Councillor Santos again keeps asking if the Connections partners could do that work in other space and Lisa keeps explaining that Millennium is where people are, where people know to go and will continue to go--it's a transit hub, it's central, etc

I, uh, have some concerns about the 30 day timeline and the lack of any indication of seeking consent from encampment residents before permanently relocating them

Dr found signs of rheumatoid arthritis in my xrays and now I have to go get more xrays. 🫠 Glad my pain is finally being looked into though.

Ian did a recap of this morning's infuriating Community Services discussion of re-funding Millennium Library's Community Connections service. Santos, Dobson, and Allard don't understand it as a library service and don't try to listen to the head of Libraries or Gilroy, who's actually informed
They are on break now but Community services is about to talk about restoring services to the library #wpgpoli

Back in the office today, wondering how long its going to be before someone asks about my holiday - of which I spent the majority of time crying over my dog.

Do you manage a trail in #Manitoba? If so, there is funding available, but you need to move fast. The deadline for the Trails Manitoba grant is Friday, Jan 10th. If you'd like interpretive signage for your trail, let me know and I can put a rush quote together for you. www.trailsmanitoba.ca/grants/

Frazey's health suddenly declined last night and we lost her. Kiss your dogs on the lips every damn day.

Anyway, here's a song I wrote 10 years ago when I was in a sloppy punk band. It refers to the Arlington Bridge, and has the lyrics "the grass is always greener on the other side of the trainyard."
