A pick-up truck stalled on the road on Broadway and is now taking up two lanes of traffic that cars during rush hour have to work around with the one lane remaining.

Motor vehicles are too big and too many.

This kind of thing can happen at any time from anyone in the driver seat of a regular household weapon. They know they are armed and some might get in a bad enough mood to use it—over something as materially unimportant yet culturally worshipped as a parking spot.

Jfc. Car driving is a social illness.

I hope all the pedestrians in Winnipeg and wherever else is in a melting/re-freezing phase are staying safe. Look out for thin ice on concrete. I walked down a staircase from a bridge to a sidewalk this morning and it was very dangerous. Luckily I was holding onto the (disgustingly dirty) railing and didn't make any major slips.

There is so much dangerous sidewalk at this time of year, let alone drivers splashing pedestrians. (And yet so many people talk positively about this weather.)
