Freddie Freeman Knocks It Out Of The Park for SickKids
Part of the problem of the Jays/Dodgers showdown this year is that while, systematically, the Dodgers are CLEAR villains... on a player-by-player level few of them are remotely hate-able. Freddie Freeman, in particular? The best. This is great.

Do those that have been successful also allow ridiculous oversized vehicles? Not to take away from your argument about infrastructure but this is also somewhere the feds could make meaningful change.

Embroidered image of Pearl, the Halifax Oyster Fest mascost. She's an anthropromorphized oyster with a large shell, layered in multiple shades & textures of grey. Along some of the shell layers she has large light blue eyes that are lined with black and with short black eyelashes. In the center of the shell are voluptuous red lips. She's sitting in a seductive position with arms and legs the colour of oyster meat next to a silver anchor. She's wearing blue fishnet stockings and black stilleto boots. The image is based on the real concept art for the mascot design, first published in The Coast magazine.
Lyrics from the song, "She's Called Nova Scotia" by Rita MacNeil are embroidered in dark green cursive next to her. They read, "The fortune in your eyes is more like a dream"
She's Called Nova Scotia.

PS Im happy to hear your arthritis doesn't hinder your work. Given family history/ hints from my aging body, arthritis is probably in my future, too. I β€οΈ doing hand embroidery, I'd hate to have to give it up. π€

Squeezing while holding everything in place & spreading it out before it cools is challenging anyway, with arthritis more so. Purse clips & toothpicks can help but you still gotta be quick. I'm almost done my current piece. I think I'll test out some other types of glue/tape & report back.

It can get really messy. I've had to tear fabric off & scrape hot glue blobs lots of times. Actual ribbon is harder to work with than felt or cotton, too. Heavier fabrics seem to be much more forgiving.

Hot glue, although sometimes it gets very messy. Try to do it as thin as possible on the inside of the hoop. If it does go on a little thick wrapping the inner hoop in fabric to give it something to sink into can hide lumps.

Maybe because of the curb in order to actually get on the ramp you'd have to make a U-turn?

The concrete curb is a bit obscured by the text but from memory it's clearly scooped out to be a right turn slip lane. So I wouldn't do it, although if that is the intention, there should be a sign.

βBy focusing on mostly arterial streets and closing key network connection gapsβ when building new bike lanes, Boston was able to increase both βthe number of people biking, and the percentage of all traffic they make up.β The number of bikes counted on the network went up by 55%.

The peer pressure is very, very strong, and there's a glut of YouTube gamers promoting them. Fortnite is less bad, but my kid is just not wired (or perhaps wired too well) to handle either game responsibly. I feel bad because of the FOMO, but I think it will be better for them in the long run.

Right? The only people quoted as having a problem don't live there on the regular but run short-term rentals instead. They're fine with commercial operations in the community as long as its the kind of business they're running.

They are not, this one was $4k and the cheapest I could find. Gaming licenses complicate things, too, because you're limited to suppliers that are also licensed by the province.

Speed cameras! DF just killed them in Ontario just as they became legal in NS, so the countdown is on until TH follows suit. However, with even a modest fee structure, I'm pretty sure the city could make bank just on Massachusetts Ave. alone.
