Traffic blessedly light, medium annoying. Street life mostly quiet.
Paths slightly busy, only a few other bikes.
Plenty of leaves and branches on the paths - but today the winter beater was woken up for […]

It really needs to be said - if a number of labour groups are striking, putting their livelihoods on the line, perhaps it's not the government in the right here.

Perhaps these folks don't deserve to be ignored.Just a thought.

"Alberta Resistance" has done fuck all but collect money. Where is that going?

It's time for a grassroots effort in Brooks-Medicine Hat to take matters into its own hands.

Folks in Brooks-Medicine Hat need to connect with Public Interest Alberta, a real, trusted organization that can actually […]

Danielle Smith needs to be removed. She is a seditionist.

She has no mandate to speak this way.

Brooks-Medicine Hat needs to organize to remove her.

Our province depends on it.

They offered me a loaner - a put put Venue.

Glad for it but they still haven't scanned the codes on the car.

If they see P1A9096, it's the ICCU.

I know it's the ICCU. This is the ONLY failure mode for this car.

Just replace the fucking ICCU so I […]

I've been playing with it tonight.

I'm still skeptical, but intrigued.
