Yes, in Victoria there is a birthday party for bike lanes and itβs amazing.
I love seeing how well used infrastructure can be when itβs connected, safe and enjoyable to use.

This is the 5th time Al-Ahli Hospital has been bombed since 2023. They were given 20 minutes to evacuate all patients.
Today I find some meaning in remembering that the βHosannaβ we cried on this Palm Sunday means βsave usβ. Save us, indeed. From ourselves. From evil. From this mess we have made.
It was a gorgeous weekend in #yyj so of course we went for a hike and to the beach (a couple times). McKenzie Bight was lovely with beautiful waterfalls, shells and sea creatures galore, and the always beautiful view.

(TBH, I would be playing if there was.) In my new diocese, we do this at clergy conference in May and Iβm not upset about missing a 6 hr round trip day in Holy Week
