I've told my actual neighbors to kindly take their debased opinions elsewhere - but only after trying to engage in reasoned dialogue with them.

In the end it's all fear of change, or abject laziness in not wanting to change behaviors. Change *is* hard, but not impossible.

But these folks? Woof.

A succinct reminder that Canadians by-and-large understand and appreciate the nuance of proper phrase choices, knowing that words have power when the message is well stated.

I found all 4 pair of my heavier winter cycling gloves last night, and for this morning's C&O Towpath ride I wore the older Specialized semi-lobster ones with old-school Gore Windstopper. They were toasty!

Thank you for your service in this exploration! 😅

The DCA heat island is going strong, of course. And while it is the weather station of record, it’s hardly representative of much of the *actual* District.
