We just canned it today. We're also going to release Viennaraad this week, so it's a good time for an order

That's all I wanted to hear

I'm so lucky that I have a job where I regularly use the words pallet (in the warehouse), palate (tasting beer) and palette (in label design).

And I know how to spell them all, too.

It's been a few years since this handsome lad was seen around here

It is the season for stoicism, and I'm really good at being stoic, even though everything sucks so bad and I hate it.

Witness my loud stoicism!

There are several square feet of asphalt that she can no longer see — asphalt she'd grown accustomed to watching change through the seasons, going from dry, to wet, to dry again, as our beautiful blue-green-asphalt planet completes its annual orbit.

And even when you find nothing, there's this

I found a great cauliflower mushroom in the forest today, one of my favourite kinds of mushrooms. I was as thrilled as if I'd found a diamond ring in the gutter. I might be hooked on this mushroom hunting thing.

Also, Dageraad won a gold and a bronze medal at the Canada Beer Cup. A very good day.

I think the point is one of income inequality, where more than 10% of the population need a stigmatizing and condescending form of income support that can only be spent on food, because of course the recipients can't be trusted to make their own decisions.

Not to put words in anyone else's mouth.

Why did Main and 7th win the title of Worst Intersection in Metro Vancouver? @nicthedoor.bsky.social explains the problems with this intersection... and maybe how we can fix it? 👀

What I've expressed isn't apathy. Your sloganeering is making me think you're a bot.

You miss your mark.

I'm not saying don't vote for the guy or don't cheer for him. Just temper your expectations and try not to be embittered when he does his best.

Every time you have had a crush on a politician they were either principled and unable to do the things they said they'd do, or they were practical and did what they could, but the compromises they had to make left you deeply embittered.

But this time's going to be different!

Not me. I'm dancing. I have a long memory for lying murderers.

We've lost a few breweries in BC in the last few years, but it's nothing compared to what's happening in the US. I just saw an auction for a brewing system in Chicago with a capacity of 600,000 bbl/year. That's got to be close to the capacity of every craft brewery in Metro Vancouver put together.

I'm just reflecting on how this isn't bike infrastructure. Bike infrastructure would be a pedestrian/cyclist activated signal. This is for the cars, so they don't have to stop when a cyclist wants to cross the nearly impenetrable barrier of the highway.

Anyway, I'm glad to have it.

South side of Burnaby Lake on the freeway trail connecting to the Deer Lake area. I honestly have no imagination for what it's going to connect, infrastructure-wise, because I don't spend a lot of time south of the freeway, but my co-worker says it's going to make his ride to work way better.

Burnaby's new bike/ped bridge is getting swung out over highway 1 on Saturday night!

Daylight savings ends and cue the hand wringing.

BC has already passed legislation that says we'll stop changing our clocks if the US west coast also does.

The US can't agree to adopt the fucking METRIC SYSTEM. They're never going to change! We're stuck with it forever!

I hope everyone enjoyed their bonus hour last night.

I spent mine staying up too late and drinking a beer while watching the beginning of an old movie I had no intention of finishing, and I still got enough sleep and woke up at a reasonable time.

And I won't have to pay for it until spring!

Will Smith in particular. Singing, acting AND baseball? A real triple threat

Right now I need to see a 10000 word piece from Rolling Stone in the 1970s by a celebrated American novelist about how they passionately hate baseball and have done so from a very young age, growing up in America's heartland

STIFF UPPER BISCUIT

Look at these beauties! Just come down to Dageraad and ask for a Stiffy — they'll know what you're after.

Is it okay if I haven't watched a second of the World Series because for me baseball is like watching paint dry but with more spitting, but I still want the Blue Jays to win because I don't want Americans to win anything right now (even if the Blue Jays players are almost all American)?

Fingers crossed, eh? It's such a beautiful road. It sucks that you got pushed by assholes onto a much uglier road

I love that road, when I'm not being close-passed by impatient commuters. I'm usually not, so I usually love it.

River road in Richmond?
