My 1609 bus. No show. Not cancelled, just disappeared. Was on the app until it wasn't.

This is why people drive instead of trusting @octranspo.com , right, @occtranspo.bsky.social ?

My 15:53 bus. Thank you, @octranspo.com @occtranspo.bsky.social

Waiting a half hour for the next one is a totally wonderful thing.

My 16:24 bus. Thanks, OC Transpo. I chose a bus based on the app, and it didn't show.

Purple flowers with yellow centres in among the grass, weeds, and plants on a lawn. I'm no horticulturalist, so I can't say what these flowers are.

It was a Calvin & Hobbes comic.

On top, a copy of John Scalzi's sunset picture. On bottom, a picture from the Bodega Cats account of a cat peeking its head out of a dumpster. It is a screen capture of what appeared on the timeline.

Either a Scooby Doo villain's lair, or a heritage property in Ottawa being permitted to decay and collapse.

Either way, @jleiper.bsky.social , the city needs to act.

This is what our city budget looks like in practice.
Broken and chipped sidewalk, with crumbling patches and temporary fixes.
