a cement statue of a red, naked sitting figure atop a white pillar. The sculpture is located at Russel and Isleville St., Halifax (N.S.) and was created by Paul O'Toole in [198-?] to represent man's alienation from his environment. The Oland brewery is in the background
Was just reminded this used to be a thing

I am not sure! Best guess would be something related to Oland or maybe the building Starbucks/etc is in?
So glad they got rid of the concrete section there when they redid the street
Does this count as "gold-plated"?
The nerve to invoke Her Majesty's name
A year ago today! So cool.
It was fun riding around the peninsula with a stack of 7 or 8 cones on the back of my bike.
Got a happy “nice cone setup!” or similar from the passenger of a traffic control service truck
The Donham Diverter in Halifax with a lot of barrels and traffic cones
I dropped off more cones. Looking good!
That would be something!
Happy new Wintersleep and Courtney Barnett day!
Not for those of us who go to bed before it drops 😴

They would have to streamline the delivery method for sure. Was pretty involved.
Selfie of me wearing ski goggles and bike helmet, smiling, somewhat snowy. There’s a car clog on Trollope in Halifax behind me
Best way to get to my last inhaled COVID vaccine study appointment at IWK? Bike, of course.
My ebike odometer reading 19,000 km
Was so taken with how things changed as I rode home that I forgot I was hitting 19,000 km on my bike!
There's been a disassembled barrel at the corner of Willow and Dublin I keep meaning to get to the diverter
Pretty wild weather ride home from my haircut but got to experience the transition from dark skies and fluffy flakes to blue skies and sunny! Lovely out now
I would like to see research on how the ped countdowns impact driver behaviour. I feel like drivers get more aggressive as they get lower since they want to beat the light changing
Question from Halifax: what if developers start building over the max height?
It’s like they’re back on the couch together
Someone was fixing this when I rode along Hollis earlier
Or a new R District
- chicanes (cut 'em down)
- mixed snow clearing responsibility
- forever unfinished portion around Old Ferry Rd
- King's Wharf crossing
- missing piece near King's Wharf
- narrow near Nature Folk
The stores will collapse! Why are they making the owner/developer do this to themselves?!
Phew, made it to the pharmacy, picked up some beans from Espresso 46, and got home just as the first flurries were falling. Nice out!
I just replied to the message I sent him Feb 20 suggesting he resign to make sure it was shared with him and relevant staff as the auto reply said it would be. Somehow he only got worse after that.
