The problem is that a whole stretch of that road is just a series of overlapping intersections. You can’t run a proper east-bound bike lane.
Even with the (very reasonable) removal of the left turn from Gertrude, there’s a long stretch there that’s effectively one continuous, complex intersection.

Like we just need to call it a day on this whole weird thing where Hugo and Gertrude kinda-almost meet. I understand that’s where the local street grid met the road following the curve of the river, but that’s not a normal intersection.

If anything I think “horny for Jesus” spirituality has a long and peculiar tradition. Everyone should feel cringe about things in their own past that might now seem a little to earnest, but no one needs to be cringe about the Ecstasy of Saint Theresa (1652)
Be cringe and be free

Today I foolishly doubled Grandma’s recipe for peppermint cookies - the ones we always called “ammonia cookies” as kids, as they’re made with baking ammonia

Out of a 175 day growing season in Winnipeg this year, we had roses blooming for 127 days! Remarkable indeed.

Celebrating 1 year with the EV by covering a few hundred kilometers of Hwy 1 out to a project in Brandon today. It’s a nice bit of symmetry, as Brandon was also the destination for the first longer drive I did in the car last year the day after I picked it up.

Thankful for all those who shared at the pipe ceremony today at Oodena - I was struck by the way so many speakers held together the reality of harm and active hope for the future.

Yeah, not that long ago. Peak letter volume was 2006, basically revenue neutral until 2017.
