I've enjoyed the buffer the unprotected lanes provide as a pedestrian and today I got to enjoy the new protection a on a bike for the first time. Though I hope @saanichbc.bsky.social has plans to update the connection to phase 1 since the lane ends in effect just before Garnet as cars move into it.

A milestone day for this #bike rider in #yyj - one of the few remaining gaps in the Shelbourne bike lane is now protected. There are curbs from just north of Cedar Hill X to almost Mckenzie.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

That's amazing! Congratulations!

The Swedes defended Earth from invasion by the Rutabaga.

That's great! You should definitely paint more.

Some bots to brighten your day.

Oh yeah, no, for sure, eh

This was supposed to be at Colwood Corners? Walking distance to multiple stores, a rec centre and on the Goose Colwood Corners? I ask again, if not here then where?

Looking forward to reading this!

What a beauty!

Can confirm... there were indeed churros.

Sign saying churros / no churros with arrows

I realize I'm only one woman but these are the DVDs I currently have from the library.

"Women are not usually interested in science fiction" ... okay, I'll just go tell all the women I know who love sci-fi that they don't actually.

Looking forward to this! I am also a fan of subterranean tales.

Now I'm wondering if I can find 2008's Journey to the Centre of the Earth with Brendan Fraser 🤔 on my TV?

I like this list. However, I worry it'll be more like:
* More non-renewable resource extraction and selling it on without refinement
* Replacing well paying government jobs with AI (or trying to)
* Infrastructure = highways instead of rail
* Maybe some investment in housing
But we'll see on Nov. 4

Poster for Halloween Market showing the dates and times (Oct 25 11-5 and Oct 26 11-4) and location (Da Vinci Centre 195 Bay St) on an orange and black background featuring a pumpkin, a tree, and owl, and bats.

Hey #yyj, do you love Halloween? Do you love supporting creators? Do you love books?

Join us at the Halloween Market this weekend!

I'll be there with @dcgreschner.bsky.social - stop by and say 'boo!'

Aw, little fuzzy spiders.

A stay in an eco lodge in Costa Rica is what (mostly) cured me.
Me to the two large, iridescent spiders: "You stay there and we'll be fine."

Spiders: ...

Me later: "Where are you hiding?! You did NOT live up to our agreement."

The only reason I explored affinity was to get away from the subscription model. At the moment, I still have both.

Of course I then went down a video rabbit hole (pun totally intended).

😎 Echo and the Bunnymen - that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

I love this ... and I didn't even see the cat at first.

This is the last day of Kobo's box set sale. There's a whole slew of sci-fi and fantasy (and some other stuff 😄).

Yup, but rain pants, a waterproof jacket (or poncho because you have both in the PNW, right? 😄) and waterproof shoes - you're good to go.

Beyond that, what's the saying? I'm not so sweet I'll dissolve.

You do see a few of them. I wish it were as easy to buy these as it were other trucks though. They have a bed almost as big as many extended cab pickups and I bet they'd do better on the kid visibility test.

Glad I biked over to the climate action plan session held by @saanichbc.bsky.social today despite the rain. I wouldn't have seen the ebike test ride station otherwise. I got to try out a long-tail cargo bike - thanks so much to the @capitalbike.ca volunteers running it!

I love these so much.

Aw, that's so sweet. Kitty wants to take care of their foster family.
