There is a small pile of cute little Christmas trees leftover from the evergreen festival in the lot between the warehosue market and the maritime museum
Also some garland and boughs if you want to get fancy

Last two cookie batches are resting while I putter.
Super glad I bought a new hand mixer. Even then, my whole right arm is sore from all the mixing.

It took me over an hour, but I finally finished all the cards for my coworkers. I decided to write a personal, positive message in each one. Spread a little cheer or whatever.
A nice little exercise in focusing on the positive, with coffee and Mary Berg.

We have the tools. The only thing missing is the political will to prioritize it. If we can clear a roadway, we can clear a bike path.

All these people driving around with most of their vehicles covered in snow and ice boggle my mind.
When I'm driving, if the windows are even dirty, I stop at a gas station and clean that shit. I will take glass cleaner and paper towel to a Communauto pick up.
Wtf is wrong with you people?

Drivers bleat on and on about how people outside of cars should glow in the dark at all times.
Omw home, a driver backed out of a driveway at speed, without removing a single snowflake from their vehicle, including the windshield. Turned on the wipers AFTER driving forward.

Can someone please explain to me why the Scott cycling infra doesn't get plowed past IPD?
Do we stop plowing roads at intersections? No, we do not.
Do better. People need this infra to get to work.

Standards are really low for "clearing" the Winter Cycling Network, on Scott St.
Only one section between Parkdale and Hinchey north side was what I'd consider cleared.
I gave up on the south side at Lanark, cuz I was fishtailing so bad.
