Awesome night of truly unforgettable music at the Jazz Room in Waterloo. Dear friend Richard Garvey was visiting and brought Salt Water Hank who shared indigenous knowledge of the Ts'msyen punk and rock. (I think this is a cover of Hendrix's Killing Floor translated into Sm'algya̱x) #kwawesome

In my hood there's the new species of coywolf that's flourishing. Unlike the coyote, they are much more comfortable living close to humans.

I'm of two minds on this view. The redesign around the lake supports more humans walking around it. But the destruction of natural habitat and mature trees saddened me. And the purple plastic umbrellas and kitty litter sand just pisses me off :P

Of the 94 calls to action identified in 2015, only 13 have been addressed.

At this pace we won't complete till 2081, and that's assuming we don't go backwards.

We need to do better.

As much as I'm not a fan of the neuron scooters, it's a shame to see how they're vandalized.

My complaint is that a higher proportion of neuron users appear brand new to active transportation and don't know the rules of the road apply to scooters - and then just basic respect for other humans.

Why does Ontario put up with destructive governments :(

How does underfunding public education benefit anyone except a few wealthy individuals and a few corporations?

Rain all day, so a short, mucky walk during a let up.

Can't believe this is my first time here, but I'm wondering what its proper name will be :(

Wee boxing day walk above bruce's caves. Foggy with just one or two sunny breaks.

The forest was surprisingly quiet, only noticed a few cries of a raven and coyote scat.

Wee bicycle ride yesterday brought me near this beauty :)

Digging in the basement found a sticker from a cherished co-op job working on the MOPITT project under Prof. Jim Drummond. Jim was a family friend who helped me land a workterm during the 90's recession on his team at UofT.
