Hmm, kiddo in grade 11 said the school just made a PA announcement that the walkout today isn't happening. Shenanigans?

Still had to get another dig in at Gondek, classy.

Hey may have to keep the "buying a bike from a Calgary shop" on the down low. 😉

A cargo bike is parked in a schoolyard. It has fairie lights around the box and a green spoke light. There are two signs on the side. One says Public Education Matters. The other says Strong Public Education = Strong Alberta.

A cargo bike is parked in a schoolyard. It has fairie lights around the box and a blue spoke light. There are two signs on the side. One says Bill 2 is poo. The other says Teachers Working Conditions are Students Learning Conditions.

The four signs read: Teachers Working Conditions are Students Learning Conditions. Public Education Matters. Strong Public Education = Strong Alberta Bill 2 is poo

Turns out cargo bikes make for great mini billboards. Me & the kiddo are also wearing red in support of Alberta teachers. #redfored #bill2ispoo #ableg #yycbike #yycedu @kathleenganley.bsky.social

Two frames from a scene in Lord of the rings. Frodo, waking up, hears gandalf say "you are in the house of Elrond, and it's 10 o'clock in the morning on October the 24th if you want to know."

It's 10 o'clock in the morning on October the 24th, if you want to know.

Two Years on a Cargo Bike Why cargo bikes are the best

Two Years on a Cargo Bike. @cailynn.bsky.social makes a great point here on e-cargo bikes (and e-bikes in general). Thought of as occasional or recreational use case, they are pricey. The math changes fast however if they start replacing vehicle trips. #yycbike gooutside.substack.com/p/two-years-...

Deep retro web cut.

For a magazine piece, I'm looking to talk with first-time home buyers in #yeg or #yyc who are currently looking or have made a purchase in the past few months. If this is you, or someone you know, please send me a DM or email cailynn.klingbeil@gmail.com. Thanks!!

Put a bucket/container in your sink to catch excess water and use that to fill up those trees (not soapy water obviously...).

Also, they are on regular pedal bikes. I bet if they tried to stop one of these e-moto losers they would simply speed away from them.

Yup, I've now encountered them twice at that area in about the last 2 months. I guess they usually fish over by Edworthy along that section of pathway.

Two very early teens on them right at the new Eau Claire "beach' area yesterday afternoon too. Going too fast. Bylaw nowhere to found, unlike the day before when they were set up there to make sure I was going the right speed...

Hmm, when I did the single booking I didn't try pasting all healthcare card numbers. Did them all individually, maybe worth someone else trying to see it that works. Either way, all booked now for mid-November.

It's open now. Can't book multiple people together, have to do it one at a time. I swear it's roadblock after roadblock with this government.

Screenshot showing that bookings for Covid 19/Flu shot appointments cannot be done at this time, and that the booking for phase 2 open October 20th, which is today.

So, any guess what time phase 2 booking actually opens today?

Dammit.

Memorial closed in the section not showing traffic. Police have it taped off and I could see CFD further up at the pedestrian crossing at 7th street. I really hope it’s not another pedestrian incident.

A rusted body of an old truck with a giant blue octopus body and eye in it. Big blue tentacles come out of the truck holding onto a front fence and little free library.

Cool new art by the art car in Sunnyside on 4th avenue. 🐙

Calgary Ward 2 debate is ​‘a disservice to the community,’ says absent incumbent | The Sprawl All candidates but Wyness participated.

Soooo this wasn't a headline I was expecting to write this week... 🙃 #yyccc

It's one of the things I like about winter biking. They all retreat to their indoor virtual riding and we can ride in peace.

Alberta road trip evening view.

A340-500 has damn near perfect proportions.

Oh, so that's why they've ripped up that whole section on 32nd avenue. Good to know.

Sticker with the cartoon character Arthur. Reminding us that nobody is immune to propaganda, and to always check your sources.

A new mural going up on Geo’s. Featuring a woman, sunflower, and bird in shades of yellows and blues.

We’re getting rid of leaf blowers by eating 50 leaves a day each. Get out there

Because Communities First is a UCP-backed party... they'll never criticise the province.

I love the reactions The Hub gives people. Hey, at least it tried something different, I'll give it that!
