Traffic in all its glory
In the news tonight, Quebec City is cited for having some of the worst traffic congestion in the land. The telling statistic: 540,000 cars for a population of approximately 700,000 souls, all told. Thankfully, babies aren’t eligible for anything with a steering wheel, or we’d really have problems. My sympathy to all those who insist on bringing their own Fortress of Solitude wherever they go…
And in Montreal (actually NDG, but who cares?) people are complaining because they received citations for parking in transit bus lanes. Seriously? Aren’t the congested roads enough, now you want the limousine lane too? I see the tow trucks here in this city, most mornings, for the same offense. Seems that those who can afford cars can’t afford wrist watches (to tell when the restrictions are in vigour).
My own little detour for afternoon transport has worked out well, three days running. No rain, yet…
I decided to follow an idea (that came in a dream last evening) and submit my mapping assignment based on simplicity. I won’t know until after the peer evaluations if I’m on the right track; by that time, it will no longer matter. Might cost me my goal of perfection, but that’s how it goes.
First pool backwash this afternoon. Winter water is really dirty stuff. My idea is to let the sand filter do as much as it can before throwing expensive chemistry into the equation. Can you tell how much I love the pool. Next house, I’m going for an ocean solution. Seriously.
