- I don't understand. Rivers flood. Sometimes moreso. Why do people continue to build on flood plains? And why the surprise when they flood? #
- Here's a short(ish) video of our geocaching adventure on Saturday with @Seanfunk and kids http://youtu.be/M0dXlPNxtPo @buzzbishop #
- Check out the post Lookout Lisa (aka @CacheAdvance) wrote about #geocaching with kids: http://bit.ly/9zNaef #
- RT @rebeccacoleman: @carouseltheatre wins outstanding production for young audiences with "A Year With Frog and Toad." #jessies10 #
- Yay @LeftCoastMama FTF'd that geocache that was, erm, towed on us yesterday. I'm sure cachers have had cars towed before but caches? GC2AD5A #
- RT @BCLiberalCaucus: Now that's just cool. Want to see Capilano Bridge take a step to the left? VIDEO: http://ow.ly/21O4e #
- Yah, I know, "BCLiberalCaucus". Regardless of your political leanings, that last link is a cool engineeringish video! #
- Uh-oh. Tornado watches issued for Calgary + environs http://bit.ly/bdWm6g #yyc Stay safe! #
- Trying not to think about 5 yr old or mother (+ dad) in #YYC involved in LRT accident. Failing miserably. #HugYourKids #
- Ride home today was too interesting. Paramedics attending young lady wiped out on University Hill on Off-Broadway bike route … #
- … later I was almost run over from behind by speeding bike as I yielded to truck w/ rt-of-way in roundabout. #
- RT @sassjordan: mosquitoes are nature's way of telling us to stop messing with the undead and vampire culture. #
- I often wonder if @Seanfunk played basketball… http://twitpic.com/1z5sc9 #
- Awesome. Drs warning about polio returning to Canada due to anti-vax crowd (warning, PDF) http://bit.ly/bseB4O (via @gpsforthebrain) #
- Polio, of course, is incurable. And awful. And preventable. "The threat of polio is no longer simply theoretical." #TheStupidItBurns #
- In Ontario, immunization rates are comparable to immunization in Tajikistan, where a polio epidemic is occuring. #TheStupidItBurns #
- So Reena Virk's killer Warren Glowatski is released on parole, but several-times convicted co-conspirator Kelly Ellard not yet sentenced? #
- I wonder if the G8/G20 billion-dollar security plan includes an "earthquake hits Toronto" contingency? Or, if it does *now* #
- Earthquakes don't bug me as much as tornadoes #toronto #simcoe #chicago #
- 59-59. No, not a football score, a *tennis* score, before being suspended due to darkness. And exhaustion. http://es.pn/9TEgKw #
- I wonder what the LD50 is for blueberries. Q is trying to find out, I think. #
- Cat-people beware. Sad. But FUNNY. RT @findchico: If you're not busy, read through this. You might pee yourself a bit: http://bit.ly/98ecLH #
- Heh, tonight's Law & Order: SVU involves geocaching! Lulz #
- "Geocachers, we don't kill people!" hee #
- While I admire the tenacity, if I didn't follow you the first 5 times you followed me, I surely won't the 6th. #
- Looking for an automotive GPS w/ lifetime maps? Dell has a $250 Tom-Tom on for $150 today only http://bit.ly/cZtVIX #
- Judging by the way the toddler just dumped out a whole bowl of cereal + milk, guessing he's not too hungry. Just call me the Baby Whisperer. #
- Vancouver Dads Day Out (with kids) at Confederation Park's Burnaby Central Railway, 10 July http://bit.ly/9lSdeV #yvrddo #
- Hour-long monotone webinar makes Anthony verrry sleeepy #
- Dear lawyer currently being interviewed by @CBCStephenQuinn : Renters are "a different milieu", huh? Get stuffed. I mean seriously? Asshat. #
- Giving housing costs in Vancouver no one w/o major equity can afford to buy. Average housing cost north of $750k. Asshat. #
- I found @alexishinde's morning folks. Car honked at me for coming to a stop. At a stop sign. Run off the road by pack of road racers on … #
- wrong side of road. Hipster on bike, no helmet, weaving back and forth TEXTING. Lady on bike, no helmet, going wrong way through roundabout #
- All this in 5 blocks on Off-Broadway bike route, coming home. Maybe I'm too uptight. Is that it? #
- According to the 2006 census, 52% of dwellings in Vancouver were rented. For lawyer Baynam to suggest renters are a diff *class* is ignorant #
- For the evening crowd: YVR Dad's Day Out (with kids) July 10th, 10 am http://bit.ly/9lSdeV #yvrddo #
- RT @acourtroom: Aw Keanu, tee hee (via @kesslerboy) http://f1a.me/b1TpN #
- What do you know? When @LeftCoastMama gets up at 5am, the whole family has fresh pancakes for breakfast! I could get used to this :p #
- Reminder: June is Bike Month. Last Friday of the month is Critical Mass. June Critical Mass = gridlock in Vancouver. #
- Discovered what this morning was missing: Some TPOH. Remedied. #ImAnAdultNow #
- I don't do #FollowFriday But let me say that @EatsShootsEdits is one of the most courageous and inspirational folks out there. Just sayin' #
- School closures in Vancouver: Many kneejerk complaints that *their* school shouldn't be closed. Reflects "Me first, screw you" attitude here #
- Toronto or Afghanistan? This is how the CBC is dressing its camera operators today http://twitpic.com/1zwmom #cbcg20 #
- Utterly unable to concentrate today, which is unfortunate b/c today's the first in ages that I've had time to do *real* work. #
- Toronto G8/G20 protest size? ~2000. Lots of riot police, etc. Vancouver critical mass ride size? ~2000 (?) Size of police presence? Dozen? #
- RT @gregeh: @AnthonyFloyd ~1300 and maybe 20 for june YVR CM. Point valid. #
- Upside to critical mass ride tonight? *My* ride home will encounter only cyclists wearing helmets acting responsibly. #
- Ride home summary: Not all the boneheads went to critical mass. To their credit, though, they were protecting both brain cells with helmets. #
- Frakkin' BSG miniseries marathon tonight. Oh yeah. #
- Does anyone know if Caprica got picked up for a second season — and if so, when does it start in Canada? #
- RT @polarisdotca: Spectac ISS flyover #YVR tonight. Look W at 11:44p (just above Saturn). Station goes overhead, sets in E at 11:50p. #
- Wait, *Sharon* is a Cylon? #BSGSpoilers #
- Reminder! RT @polarisdotca: Spectac ISS flyover #YVR tonight. Look W at 11:44p. Station goes overhead, sets in E at 11:50p. Wicked bright! #
- And if you really want to geek out, here're the details of tonight's bright ISS pass: http://bit.ly/dsG9uD (Vancouver) #
- RT @polarisdotca: If you're outside in #YVR waiting for ISS, bright star in SW, midway fr horiz to zenith is Arcturus. ISS ~6-10x brighter. #
- Wow, *really* bright over-head ISS pass, whizzing by 360 km above. Thanks @polarisdotca for heads-up! #
- 1 week to @geowoodstock! Drop by the @BCGeocaching table between 12-12:30 to meet @LeftCoastMama and I (Team LeftCoastFloyds) #
- Independent toddler is independent #
- RT @alexishinde: 80s music playing, of course. Highlight of this morning: The Imp singing along with "Won't you take me to… monkeytown?" #
- Independent toddler called my bluff this morning. After shrieking again, I asked "Do you want to go to bed?" and got a "Yes!". Sleeping now. #
- This precedent is not good. #
- RT @unambig: Uhoh, now the police car is on fire: http://twitpic.com/207lxz #g20 [Sigh] #
- It's going to be great hearing the spin about how the Toronto police "provoked" the protesters into burning police cars #asshats #
- I wonder how many CPC members infiltrated Black Block in order to cause problems + justify the security costs? #tinfoilhat #g20 #notreally #
- RT @stephen_taylor: "I condemn violent protest at the G20" Retweet if you do. #
- RT @chrislabossiere: Clear link between burning police cars & ending poverty. Maybe punch an old lady too to stop global warming. #G20 #
- I don't understand. How can there be an extra 31 minutes added on to a #worldcup game? Arbitrarily? #
- Don't often agree w/ Normal Spector, but he's right: way to deal w/ violent protestors is ostracization by the left: http://bit.ly/aLOrrc #
- Masked protest? Sure sign of cowardice. Conformity of non-conformists. Leads to mob mentality as individuality is lost. Asshatry abounds. #
- RT @ShireenJ: Another reason not ready to lead Canada. RT @anndouglas: Liberal Party said it does not comment on events as they unfold. #
- Really #LPC No comment on violence in the streets of Canada's biggest city? Not only a #LeadershipFail but also a #SocialFail #
- Civ IV (The Complete Edition) is on sale today on Steam for $10. http://bit.ly/c1Uqg1 That'll be an incredibly low $/hr purchase! #
- Tornado watch upgraded to warning in Windsor, Ontario. Be safe out there @seanmhair, others! #
- RT @mikeminer: hell of a thing to have a cop waving a baton at you while you're trying to tweet #g20 #
- PMSH and the Cons already hate the CBC. Now they've harassed/arrested CTVers at the #G20 Good thing Sun TV News is coming soon. #
- I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooong …. scarf. (A's version of a Cake song) Ah, @thepeak plays great songs :) #
- While everyone screams police brutality at the #G20 actions, a little perspective please. Remember Tiananmen Square? #
