She's your beard?

Oh dear. :-(
May the injured receive proper care and a full, rapid recovery.
I feel awful for Metrolink and the inconvenienced riders.

I beg to differ.
The dilemma would likely be if/when the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings play each other in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Tigers' loyalty crosses to Windsor and Essex County.
It's the most Americanized part of Ontario. 😂

Hello there.

Absolutely!
AOC continues to build more respect from me. She knows better and that performative BS is less productive.

My heart breaks for the families and loved ones of the two teenage girls who tragically lost their lives last night atop the J train.

This tragic incident is a stark reminder of the dangers of subway surfing, which continues to take the lives of too many young New Yorkers every year.

You got this!

Pot meet kettle. 🙃😂

Good evening from L.A.!

The Sepulveda & Pico bus stops must improve on cleanliness, accessibility, & safety.
Lots of litter! A stranger told me to leave the EB Pico/Sepulveda bus stop while waiting for the big blue bus. He yelled at me for causing trouble (I wasn't).
Troubling experience!

Picture of Gandalf with overlay text saying "Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Sml acts of kindness and love."

You know what, we live in a period that seems to reward callousness, letting it flourish. And when I come across stories of people showing selflessness or basic kindness, it stays with me. Our world is in desperate need of showing care to one another.

The journey continues...
