Put on some nice clothes but then looked out the window and immediately felt like a man of slovenly appearance.

A male mandarin duck on the balcony outside my old kitchen, sizing up the women in the river below.

That's not true. When I lived in that house there were always about five male mandarin ducks competing for one female.

These - and the mergansers at the same place - muscled their way into my novel Villager, which I wrote most of while renting this house.

The Venn diagram of urban density and average household GHG emissions is pretty much a circle. Interesting study on “Mapping household GHG emissions in the Greater Golden Horseshoe” from the University of Toronto School of Cities schoolofcities.utoronto.ca/mapping-hous...

I have grown to loathe sitting in traffic. It feels angry and wasteful. I was determined to make a different choice for my physical and mental health. Being a city councillor, you're not left with much 'you' time. So creating that time as part of my commute has been invaluable for me.

Some views of the gobsmackingly awesome #Glencoe from the excellent Citylink 914/915 #bus service. Must be one of the most beautiful bus services in Britain! @bettertransport.bsky.social . You're advised to book in advance though! @everylaststation.bsky.social

Fleeting moments from a walk in NW Portland this evening.

Have a good one folks!

#photography #fujifilm #pdx

Man and woman both wearing hoodies, denim, and Nike shoes and riding the same electric scooter push off the street in unison to get the scooter running in front of a McMenamins Tavern on NW 23rd and NW Savier in Portland, OR.

Hunched over man walks across the freight train tracks leading to the Steel Bridge, which is also pictured here looming behind some trees starting to change color in early Autumn. Partly cloudy skies are behind the Steel Bridge.

Person riding a mobility scooter while looking at their phone in NW Portland across from a Parking Kitty pay station, a relic from a time before people could pay for parking with a phone.

Through a window peering inside PLACE, an art gallery in NW Portland, two people are setting up an exhibition that will be opening later this week for First Thursdays.
