All right #ottawa : I made it on 1st scooter ride!
No crash
No issue
Just a bumpy ride across downtown/Centretown streets
Faster than OC Transpo but more expensive
Try again? Sure…but only if weather is decent

Colleague just posted the following GIF on his retirement announcement message to the Company.
GULP!
This image brings back floods of memories of reading 'Calvin and Hobbes' to kiddos.
Well lets be honest: I also just loved reading C&H!
Cherish those memories; cherish their "stuffies" too!

Having spent a couple of days out and around #NorthBay, I am reminded of a great sporting goods store that inspired me to get outdoors: Bigwood.
Been closed for a few years now but still have some stuff bought there.
Local sporting / adventure stores are well worth supporting!

Someone’s snake oil is someone else’s gold!
Before Jeff was a jacked-up uber-billionaire he amassed losses in a book-filled room
