One day I'll act on my idea to go to Halifax with my bike for a long weekend! I love the trails and small coastal roads of the South Shore, but I miss city biking!
(and also, it would be nice to go to Halifax for a reason other than "errands" or "catching a train or a plane"!)

Back in 2019, I often saw rabbits when biking late at night on the Lower Don River trail next to the train tracks. I don't recall seeing them anywhere else, but I moved away from Toronto in 2020, so they might have spread further since then!

On the South Shore of Nova Scotia where I live, there was a superstition that the first four-leaf clover found in a season shouldn't be plucked, but instead bitten off the ground! Described in a delightful book of folklore gathered in the 1940s.

This is still mostly the situation in Québec on July 1! (which conveniently happens to be a holiday) There's no law mandating it (and there hasn't been for decades), but somehow it persists! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_...

The book is still on my "to-read" shelf, so I can't truly recommend it yet for your "evocative universes" book list, but from reading its back cover I think that "Stone of Aran: Labyrinth" by Tim Robinson might fit (but I won't know for a few weeks/months until I get to read it!)

It was either the rebasing, or else being able to easily moving changes to the correct commit with a command like `jj squash --into x` or `jj rebase -r x --before y`.
Basically, the fact that if I can think about what I want to do, there's an intuitive command that does exactly what I want!

I saw a copy in a used books store two years ago, read the first sentence, and that was enough to convince me to buy it :)
