It's easy to say that if you weren't actually there, but if you WERE there you'd be singing a different tune. Trying to ride my bike through there was nuts. There were people walking slowly in the fast lane everywhere, and then I got stuck behind some old lady in a walker who wouldn't pull over and let me by even after I rang my bell. So, I dropped it into low gear and went around her on the grass. As I went past, I got a glimpse of her giving me the middle finger as I went by.
But I'm glad you're joining the cause of the anti-car movement. I am organizing an event next Sunday where we get a bunch of people together and drive slowly on the fast lane on Deerfoot so that we can all
slow down and collectively reflect on our good fortune. It shouldn't be a big deal because we're doing it on Sunday, when people should be at church, anyway, not driving around willy-nilly on the Deerfoot at high speeds.
Merry Christmas. And I say that only because my children were already cutting things out of the Sears 2009 Wish Book today that they want for Christmas, and I noticed also that Costco is full of Christmas decorations.
