The section of the MGT on Queen's Quay from Jarvis to Spadina is total chaos most days, and the intersection at Bathurst is a nightmare. The path just isn't wide enough for the volume of bi-directional bike, e-bike, pedestrian, and e-scooter traffic.

Leslieville to Mimico by bike is 17K, all on bike lanes and takes me about 55 minutes depending on wind direction and how many red lights I encounter. Driving is 30 mins on a good day, 75-100 mins on the worst days.

As disappointing as this season has become, I still haven't switched over to hockey (or soccer.) Maybe I will later if the Oilers have a chance of winning late in the 3rd (or, as you would say, 3th.)

What's it called when you explain to your (male) friend that offering unsolicited advice to women is *not* actually mansplaining (unless you're "explaining" something in which she is already well versed.)

Unbelievable how the person who caught ball was so mean (and her husband laughing.) I came close to being hit by a Darwin Barney foul ball in 2015. I ducked just in time and it hit my seat, wedged behind my back.
