In a blast into the past, I saw two 2-series Volvos within 5 minutes of each other the other day. We had one when I was a kid. #cars
Small birds keep flying into our ground floor windows. It's happened three times in the past week. Our windows are large picture windows, so the birds must think it's an opening through the house. Thankfully they all managed to fly away after a brief recovery from being stunned. But I feel terrible. #Nature #VancouverIsland #BC

The thing I forgot about coffeeshops is the number of first-date meetups that go on around you.

Solo patrons should be given score cards to hold up and rank their repartée.

I tried to download usage data from #BCHydro but it gave an error with no explanation. Damn. #tech #bc #canada

What's a good app for finding bike routes specifically around Metro Vancouver?
e.g. Apple Maps gave garbage directions from New West to PoCo. Google Maps did a decent job.
However, Google maps gave terrible directions around Mount Pleasant area. (told me to go along 12th instead of 10th for some dumb reason)

I only really use Google Maps when I have to, but it’s also time to switch away from Apple maps.

The main need is bike-friendly mapping system.

A tree in my front yard is starting to bud. What’s budding is a weird cross between a Brussels sprout and a cauliflower. That’s an exaggeration but I can’t think of another to describe it. Very strange!

We popped into an open house on the way home.

Realtor 1: any feedback?
Us: I have allergies and we can smell pets and a strong chemical cleaning smell throughout the house
Realtors: we don't smell anything and no-one else mentioned it
Realtor 1: thanks I welcome negative feedback
Realtor 2: we don't own the house
(No shit Sherlock, but wtf?)

As we were leaving, my nife said they were talking about us, and rolling their eyes.

Don't like feedback? Don't ask.
