I see that you received an energuide sheet for the house, so it is certified as NetZero? Are you aware of any benefits to going through the certification process?

A few years ago a lady was hit and killed in the crosswalk on 85st, just west of BD Safeway. Police/news report, โ€˜speed was not a factorโ€™. Sorry? What exactly is the legal speed limit through an occupied crosswalk?

I need to work on the volume of my mutteringโ€ฆthe kids have amazing hearingโ€ฆwhen Iโ€™m not asking them to do something.

The way she keeps harping on costs being passed onto consumers is infuriating. Of course input costs affect output prices. But thatโ€™s only a problem if you think carbon emissions donโ€™t come with a costโ€ฆand if you think that you can GFY.

Just make your own and put it in whatever size jar you want. Bonus, no non-recyclable plastic cups.

Iโ€™ve never been, but now Iโ€™m looking forward to giving it a try when Iโ€™m in the office next week.

Ah, the memories. Always loved listening to that song on the 8-track in dadโ€™s truck, โ€œโ€ฆwe fired once more and they began a runninโ€™, down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexicoโ€

I donโ€™t have many followers there but Iโ€™ve been picking up, I mean blocking, a couple a day recently. Generally they follow ~6.2k, have 0-20 followers, and zero non-thirst posts.

Garmin clearly doesnโ€™t know snow. I shovelled the pad beside my garage, sidewalk around the house, to the front, front sidewalk, neighbourโ€™s sidewalk, half of next neighbourโ€™s sidewalkโ€ฆand my Garmin watch buzzes with a โ€˜Moveโ€™ reminder because Iโ€™ve been too sedentary.

The worst I experienced was waiting to cross 83 st from BD library to Dermot District park. Four trains, two each direction before I got a walk signal.

The media you posted is just a black box for me but with, โ€œThe extended periods where itโ€™s frozen in all directionsโ€, Iโ€™m going to assume anywhere along the Valley Line. Compare it to the Capital Line along 111th St; as soon as the train passes signals start changing.

Today wasnโ€™t a complete write-off. I hung my Christmas lights and made some bread.

Enjoying the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Hollywood for the Holidays with my son. No shade to rest of the orchestra, theyโ€™re all great, but the best is the โ€˜danceโ€™ of the percussionists; no sitting down on the job.

Crowd sourcing an appropriate punishment. My son turned off โ€˜Shine On You Crazy Diamondโ€™ to play โ€˜Blippi - Vacuum Truckโ€™ on repeat.
