Can think of no better way to guarantee yourself a visit to a secondary inspection room

Meanwhile, downtown, 53’ transports rolling up and down #Elgin while you try and enjoy a meal on a patio is 👌

Late on a Friday afternoon? Someone really doesn’t want people to see this

Travel tip: If your itinerary includes code share or partner flights, be sure to add apps from those particular airlines and enter your PNR (locator) to maximize awareness All Star Alliance partners share the PNR code pool … your AC code is also valid with LH

KZM MUP report (ridden eastbound from Carling) - New Orchard underpass flooded - one other small flooded section just east of that but a track through the grass is available - large hose across path just east of IPD - long sections under water east of IPD to Remic Rapids (tracks worn into grass)

Nobody wanted to stand anywhere Sutcliffe?

Gatineau Park loop ride report: - Some snow patches - right-hand side GP downhill approaching 1st crossing MLR; - some snow patches on FLP near the top of climb and again just before intersection with CP; - some snow patches on CP just south of intersection with FLP - no walking required

I think they’d prefer a tip

2-ship C130 formation just passed over Centretown - westbound at 2,500’ … what’s up with that?

Seriously? Still? @arieltroster.com

Ahhh … the sweet, sweet sound of boy racers on Nicholas and the Queensway

Went to Gatineau Park this afternoon Lots of loose gravel on Voygeurs Path west of Commanda - from top of the hill to the UQO Also lots of loose gravel on the pathway from Boul. Alex-Tache to P3 Some snow patches from P2 to Pink Lk (very passable) More snow about 2/3rds of the way up Pink

Gawd forbid that you’d park this truck off the sidewalk (especially at school pickup time) … your tires might get dirty

If there’s any one particular set of things that’ll doom any planned bike share program, it’s #Autowa

So, I’m thinking of sneaking in to the Wheel of Fortune set and putting ceramic bearings for the axle of the little Bonus Round wheel When someone puts a really healthy spin on that bugger it’d go for hours

Based on the number of times I’ve seen this in my timeline, and the responses its generated, I’m thinking that “urban” issues - like transit & road safety could prove to be very powerful motivating issues in the upcoming civic election People are angry and fed up with feeling unsafe - from drivers

Annually, how many people are killed by: a) a homeless person; b) a drug addict; c) a panhandler; or d) a driver? Now, tell me what is the greatest threat to personal safety in Ottawa?

@allcaps.bsky.social A parking lot in Zaragoza, Spain All underground

F150 are 45% more likely to be involved in a pedestrian or cycling death. Huge pick up trucks are a visibility nightmare. Study after study shows this but grills and hoods get bigger. #Ottawa #Autowa data.bikeleague.org/new-nhtsa-da...

From “Life in the Fast Lane” - an article in the G&M about track cycling The author is a regular cycle commuter He managed to sneak this paragraph in (sorry, no alt text)

There were two potential responses: a) “We’ll begin working immediately to improve safety around our schools, and I’ll be asking Chief Stubbs to report on actions being taken by OPS that will support the city’s initiatives; or b) “Thoughts and prayers” Guess which one he took

Tulip festival in Zaragoza I’ve become firmly convinced that we will never, ever, have nice things in #Ottawa

The Centretown Community Association has sent a letter suggesting changes and improvements to the Bank Street Transit Study. As the busiest bus corridor in Ottawa, Bank street needs to prioritize moving people over cars.

Vote: 1) Valencia; or 2) Bilbao

C’mon people!

Looks like Messier gave Gretzky the boot … or else sent him to buy more beer

We were walking over to visit friends & watch the hockey game The street we were walking beside was one lane in each direction A bus stopped and people got on and off … all while a line of about ten cars (containing a total of 12 people) waited patiently behind The drivers showed respect #Girona

#OttCity should take note barcelonasecreta.com/en/breaking-...

Catalan engineers: We’ll build a bridge, but if you can’t keep your car on it, that’s not our problem. Whaddya want … we gave you a bridge … you want railings too!?! (and yes, we rode through) #Girona

A tale of two crosswalks On the left, beg buttons and flashing lights are no guarantee that drivers will actually stop; pedestrians cower On the right, if you’re moving towards the crosswalk and are with 5 metres, drivers will hit the brakes; pedestrians barely give a glance at traffic # Girona

This afternoon in #Girona

A timeless classic in #Girona

Feeling the weight of history here in #Girona (apologies, no ALT text)

@bikeviewca.bsky.social Someone else who thinks he’s funny Maybe we should tell him that *you* are … and that he’s just spouting pablum

Gee whiz … I’m torn over who to believe Our PM or one of the many cabinet-level sacks of s*it from south of the border 🤔 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Yes, please And integrate it with any similar programs in other (non-US) parts of the world

I can unequivocally state that the rain in Spain does, most definitely, not fall mainly on the plain

Citizens freely doing work the city should be doing

If the thought of a worm at the bottom of a bottle of Tequila makes you queasy, this is probably not the drink for you

FWIW I think it’s time to migrate away from 8.5 x 11 and go to A4 🇨🇦

Power is out at the Rideau Centre and the traffic lights at Sussex/Rideau are out Nary a cop to be seen The 4-way stop rule is taking a real shit-kicking
