I saw a neighbor loading a very small child on the back of their bike this morning and now I want to befriend that neighbor on the basis of "I saw them on a bike once."
Isn't this pretty much how #BikeHFX got started?
And nobody has ever wanted to befriend someone because "I saw them drive a car once."

Fantastic community support for Preeti!
Special shout out to Simply Asian, a family run restaurant in Highfield Park. They donated 50% of last Saturday's sales to Preeti.
I've never eaten there, but I will try them out soon. #SupportLocal

Halisky you probably heard about the pedestrian being hit by a car in Eastern Passage this morning.
Preeti is my grandbaby's daycare teacher, and GB loves her.
Preeti's parents are in India and want to come to support her while she recovers.
If you can, please consider giving.

How things have changed. I think we need a song about laws being made by Executive Orders. So much more efficient than the whole debate and vote method they used to have.

I walked to my sister's house today.
After this very short walk I can confirm, many people were doing exactly this. Also, at least one generator was being dusted off and prepped. Full confidence in NS Power outage there.

Persistent names really do stick. QR codes are often called barcodes these days. "Taped" and "filmed" I still frequently hear as verbs for recording. Then why is it so weird that a name would stick to a technology's immediate successor?

I always tuck mine under my pillow.
Grandbaby napped in my bed on the weekend. While she was reorganizing the bed to get comfy she found them and was so confused about why they were there.
I thought everybody tucked them under the pillow. Now I have to question everything I thought I knew.

Do you wear the same pyjamas for several nights or do you wear fresh ones each time?
If you wear them again, where do you put them during the day?
