And some bike riding!

The naming rights agreements bring in lots of revenue. Without that, ticket prices for all events would be even higher. Unless you can get the athletes, management and performers to take a pay cut, so they are more in line with the wages of the rest of us.

Since she has announced she is not running in the next election, and she was backed by a group, do they have a similar minded candidate to consider?
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
What a lovely tune! Thanks for sharing!

Many tourists will be discouraged from coming. And isn’t the point of hosting that you make money from the tourists?

As long as there is a bollard at the intersection so a vehicle can not get in, that looks like great protection.

And why are the pumpkin spice products out already? Should that not wait for fall? Let us enjoy summer for a little longer. Since I have to bike on the road, I am thinking of attaching a frame the size of a car outline to my bike.

He obviously never had access to SCTV and the skit where CCCP 3CP1 would invade the program.
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social)
Oh dear. #CBC #TheNational & Adrienne Arsenault , a driver of a vehicle crashing into a restaurant window is just that, a CRASH, or at least an incident. It is definitely not an Accident as you just said. It could have been prevented. You have just lost a long time viewer.

Like a "penny for your thoughts"?

I used to make separate appts for my dad and myself, in case one of us had a bad reaction. But since we haven’t yet, I now book us both for the same appointment. Making them available at pharmacies sure is convenient.

At the top it states first results will come shortly after 830 mountain. But I can see lots of scrutinizing the writing to match them to the candidate.

I get both vaccines at the same time. Some will even let you get both in the same arm, so you don’t have two sore arms the next day and have trouble getting dressed! And that is even after doing arm circles right after.

I eat at 530 while watching Global National News.

Would some people then have it covered under their workplace health insurance plan?
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
I used to prefer window seats at a restaurant. I can see why that is a poor choice for safety purposes. I would say they were victims of a crash, they were not involved in creating the crash.
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
Crash or incident work. Using accident is as bad as headline stating they were hit by a car. They were hit by a PERSON driving a car. Unless it is a selfdriving car.
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
How does one know when / where there is a bike jam?
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
I noted someone using Incident, rather than accident, and I thought it was a good word choice.
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
I usually say I will be back soon - even when I know it will be hours. I tell them what we will do together when I am back - so they have that to look forward to. I also usually give them each a kiss before I leave, just in case it is my last.

I continue to learn so much from you! Just googled meat shakes , kittens.
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
Did you get AWD for better traction in winter?
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, I see the 2024 range is listed as 354 km. So you are getting just as advertised! Which is nice.
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
I had thought level 3 chargers only charged to 80 percent. And they charged really slowly above that. So to charge to full, you would need to charge at level 1, regular plug. So a full charge would give about 340km? It is advertised as up to 500km, so that seems low.
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
Is it that you made it there and back with 25 percent remaining?

I use my bike trailer to get so many wonderful items from my local Buy Nothing Group.

I rarely drink cow milk now, and would only drink Pasteurized milk, but growing up, when we visited the farm for vacation we drank unpasteurized milk from the cows my grandma milked. Budgets were tight so not having to buy milk/cream was a factor - also never knew at time we were at risk.

Perhaps that monster needs to adopt another cat so Dandy will have company when outside pants and her brother leave her.

I am lucky my cats are very forgiving of me. Even if I get behind on cleaning the litter box, they still use it. They have occasionally brought me to the litter box to let me know it needs attention.
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
Now that looks like a place where people would live a great life!
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
On my run commute, I used to tap the hoods of cars stopped in the sidewalk approach with empty beers cans I collected on my run commute. It got to where they would back up as they saw me approaching. I felt I had made an impact. They don't like people touching their cars. But hitting people is ok.
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
So glad to hear he is so much more comfortable now. It is great that you have a good relationship with your adopters so they can return a cat when things are not working. It is like a divorce perhaps, sometimes just not meant to be.
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
You ride very close to the doors toward the end, is that because you can see there is no one in the car?

Is public transportation not an option where you live? I would like to see free bus transportation to medical appointments. I don’t want my tax dollars to subsidize people driving cars, they already get enough subsidies.

I guess I am more suspicious than you! Unless I have a third party real life connection, I never know for sure!
Maureen P (@marathoncat.bsky.social) reply parent
Besides the heat, I would not leave my cat in the car without me because I would be worried someone may take them. They say don't leave valuables in your car!

I don’t think people should drink alcohol, it is a carcinogen that kills brain cells, but if some find it necessary to drown their sorrows in it, the USA is going to need a huge domestic supply of it. So just as well exports are down.

The ALT text is super descriptive & helpful. But I question how our 60 year old PM is an “older man” . Would they not both be middle aged if it is defined as early 40s to mid 60s.

I used to have the Lolipop Lily. My mom bought it for me. Unfortunately it did not survive the several rough years of lily beetles. The beetle population has dropped, so I may purchase the ones I had again! My mom even gifted me the “Maureen “ lily. I tried unsuccessfully to save it.

Does your cat go for rides in the bike too? When I was a kid , my pet rabbit would ride in my bikes's front basket. She loved her bike rides! I filled the bottom with straw for her so she would feel comfy.

It sure is interesting how they all come up with their own routines/ habits. Another one likes to play follow the leader where she walks around the house and purrs and I have to follow her. She goes in and out of cubbys and tunnels while I stand watching & she keeps checking that I am following.

I find it silly that cities are so obsessed with limiting e-bike speeds, and totally ignoring limiting much more dangerous car speeds.

How do folxs here not give in to their cats begging for more food? Mine keeps asking for more but he is putting on too much weight. I am not helping him by over feeding, but I find it hard not to when they ask for it so hard. & I have another that needs to gain weight who eats small amts frequently

I always keep my helmet on when I go in stores (why carry it when I can wear it) and it often leads to conversations about biking. Most recent was a fellow who moved here from China - he told me ALL streets in the city he was from had car/bike/ped lanes.
