Methinks he doth protest too much

Gee. The way the Mayor railed on and on about the cougar, you’d think he’d had something to hide regarding police brutality. Or is he just trying to sweep the whole Blue Line failure under the rug?

Broken

You’ve seen it. Maybe you were even there.
When will we say, the band-aid fixes aren’t working, this is an antiquated public transport system unworthy of a world class city? Will it be when there is an accident that causes severe loss of life? Will it be when the cost to city and state taxpayers exceeds [...]

Who is the fifth and final Cylon?

Is it Baltar? The one who so desperately needs to be redeemed, even as he sold out the human race for . . . what? Not even 30 silver pieces? Just lust and vanity and a few sundry other deadly sins. I’m looking forward to see just how he will suffer for his redemption. [...]

On Tibet

I’ve been asked a number of times about the Tibet-Olympic protests. This is of course the Chinese person’s burden: represent and explain for all Chinese everywhere no matter how tenuous the connections may be to the putative Motherland, or how many generations separate you from the current day happenings over there. One is always and [...]

On this food rally, at E’s urging, we had pupusas [...]

It’s a crazy day

Crazy. Why was the 62 packed in the way it is this morning? When I got to the office, at least three others had crazy transit stories to tell.

Walking tour of Toronto

Sort of. It’s an abridged version, with some things thrown in which are clearly not part of the downtown walk I did last week. I don’t have descriptions to go with it yet but I’ll throw it out there since there is some doubt that I actually did visit Toronto and was not, in fact, [...]

Sooooo

I won’t go into how phenomenally boring driving through three mostly rural states across two countries really is, but suffice it to say that I am so glad my Mazda3 came equipped with cruise control cos it really makes the driving much easier. 10 hours in the car: I will only drive that far for [...]
