Yah. I found only oblique referrals to a Phase 2 on the city’s web page (as in, “finished the first phase”).

The pedestrian elevator between False Creek and downtown is out of order, and I can’t safely do stairs right now. Walking is also hard, so instead of finding a long workaround I paid the fee to go through the Chinatown Skytrain station, which has exits at both elevations. This is what I am seeing.

One of these is very poorly timed.

I walked into a Southern Florida grocery store that says “the produce is so fresh it doesn’t even know it’s been picked,” and it turns out that no I won’t be coming back with my husband to check out the live shows at night.
Wonder if he’d be welcome, anyway. At least I’m white.

Today’s very funky, and apparently quite rare, asperitas clouds. It is hard to capture just how much it felt like looking up at the surface of an ocean, but from the perspective of something much smaller than a person.

In local miscellaneous: there actually is a city past the bridge, and behind the buildings on the left. Really.

Such an example of “AI.”
I also keep going back to gendered bits in the telling of the story, too — the aside about the kids, the specification of the gender of the person running social media (without any asides).

Hah! Missed this bit.
By the time you get to vows, you’ve hopefully already discussed “terms of a marriage.”
*And you don’t need to state them all in order to say you are committing to them.* Sure, highlight a few. But focusing on why you want to make a commitment is a great way to deepen the act.

This bit clarifies it for me. Saying you are committing to the “terms of a marriage” does not require sharing the terms. Saying why you want to make the commitment is more relevant.
As a guest! If they say they agreed on a pre-nup, I am happy if they both have good reasons. I don’t want to read it.

We thought that turning the Allen key by holding it with a wrench, for extra leverage, had been a good idea. Then we realized it wasn’t the screw that had started spinning.

Canadian Weird #67: in 2001, Newfoundland was renamed Newfoundland and Labrador in large part because Quebec still wasn’t recognizing the 1927 UK court decision about a border dispute between Canada and the then-British Newfoundland, which gave Labrador the land Quebec wanted.
And it still doesn’t.

This is not going to be a philosophical discussion about whether or not TikTok is an entity that can make authentic choices in a universe devoid of purpose.

I just did an at-home sleep apnea test using ResMed's ApneaLink.
Here are two pics, from the instruction pamphlet and video. Do you see the problem? Because let me tell you, there is a problem. And not one that's needed. 1/3

I’m going to try to do one bright-spot post a day (or at least a week).
Today: Bald eagles, back in downtown Vancouver! In 2020-21 several eagles made downtown their home. They were gone after lockdowns, but yesterday a pair flew right past my balcony. A quick photo of them circling above Chinatown.

Yes. This dance sequence is elaborately and ornately absurd, packed full of intricate details but never overpowered by them, managing to maintain cohesion even as it changes settings and styles to help it depict important character development.
Still. The full screenshot is quite the combination.

Like… the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge! Its secret is kept so best that they tell you twice.
To be fair, it isn’t nearly as assertively publicized as the other bridge.
