I WISH we could make it die! If they vote down the waiver, the whole thing only gets postponed until July 8th.

They did one at the Dingle while I was still in Edmonton for work, I think! But it will come around again.

The "different park each week" thing has its upsides and its downsides as compared with the YEG original, but I mostly enjoy it! It makes it accessible to a slightly different crowd each week, along with all the regulars.

Yes! It's @coffeeoutside.hfx.bike ! We meet every Thursday at a different park from 7-8:30 (follow the above account to find out a day or so earlier which one).

The way the "HRM" is set up makes any action seem impossible sometimes. But the community here is POWERFUL. It fills me with awe every time I go to a #KidicalMassHFX, and it did so again today. That's such a huge asset. Don't undervalue it. It makes me feel like we can do ANYTHING. /2fin.

At least as an MP he was just useless instead of actively destructive.

Iām also happy for my taxes to go to support rural areas and their needs. My PROVINCIAL taxes.

This is exactly the part I donāt get either. It is not at all intuitive to me that the people who are pulling our mayorās strings would want everyone to drive a car all the time.

I donāt have a problem with rural areas either. But a ācityā with rural areas in it is an oxymoron.

We had a little HaliSky meetup afterwards. š

The fact that so many people wanted to be here but couldnāt and yet the turnout was STILL this high fills me with such pride as a new Haligonian!

I understand that part. What I donāt have a handle on is why the people pulling the strings want to get rid of bike infrastructure.

The album that did so well in North America was actually a compilation of the bandās first two (I think, maybe three) German albums!

Their last album as a band was āEisbrecherā in 1986āshe went solo after that.

It would actually be super easy, given the size of some of my bags (and I also have a trailer), but overkill when itās a five-minute walk. š

We wanted a particular barbecue and we wanted to buy it from a Canadian store, so Home Hardware it was. Worked out okay, though! And weāll also be able to walk just about five minutes for tank swaps, Iām pleased!
Now to get the thing put togetherā¦ š¬

Update to the update: barbecue has been obtained, and driving was completely uneventful this time!

Ohhhh that looks so good!!! We picked up our new barbecue today so perhaps thereās something like this in my near future too!
