Which building is that second picture? (first one I know is opposite Robinson's Sporting Goods in downtown #yyj, but I don't recognize the cool details on the other...)

14°C and sunny, with similar forecast throughout the afternoon

Spring! Sprung!

Definitely approaching “pants required” part of the day. Finishing coffee. The world awaits.

Photo of a treetop in front of a blue sky. In the sky, a haiku: "What a marvellous human you are. I hope your day is beautiful." Just above the centre tree, a speech bubble with the words, "Haaaaaappy Saturday!"

The Galloping Goose bridge over Old Island Hwy in Colwood is open! #yyj #yyjbike

Yes! Something that fits on a 'bike lane' works for most people. 'Cycles' of various types work for many, but not all. Mobility scooters work for lots of people, but not all.

Cars do not work for everyone, and if everyone drives a car cities grind to a halt. #yyj

Two people on mobility scooters on protected bike lane (Government Street in Victoria's Chinatown).

#Saanich resident in TC: "Driving is no longer a pleasure. Obviously, we are all meant to jump on bikes and use the bike lanes — but many people, especially seniors like me, don’t ride bikes." 🤷 www.timescolonist.com/opinion/lett... #yyj

Not that it specifically matters for me any more (since i’m perma banned from the Meta stack..) but i’m /really/ worried about the insistence that Facebook is where discussion/campaigning is going to happen for the 2026 Municipal/School board elections.. #yyj #yyjpoli

A year ago, BC Ferries was only allowed to buy 4 replacement vessels, instead of the 5 they asked for so they would be able to expand capacity. Issues on busy travel days is going to be a reality for decades to come.

BC Ferries suggests people take public transit and walk on as they deal with mechanical issues this long weekend. Unfortunately, the BC NDP cut BC Transit funding which was mostly taken from their extra hours budget, so they can't run extra buses to make up for the increased walk on passengers. #yyj

Hi! Our local recycling thingie is on fire again BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP THROWING BATTERIES IN THE GARBAGE.

I would like to request people not be stupid fucking idiots.

Find out who takes batteries near you.

Here in Victoria, many places do, including community centres, London Drugs, etc. #yyj

Excellent reality check from @lacaroibarra.bsky.social on a recent TC article on supportive housing. This quote is spot on: "It is understanding the why that gets us to solutions. Otherwise we continue to chase our tails."
