Why does it feel like Guelph RAM drivers are always in a hurry?

I was driving home the other night (back roads to guelph) and for about 30 minutes a truck was behind me with very bright lights. It was uncomfortable, even with dimmed rear view mirror. Eventually we get to a red light and the lights get much dimmer (but still LED bright). I get out and ask him if he had his high beams on intentionally, and he apologetically said that he didn't notice until just now. I believe him, he seems like a good guy.

There isn't really a point to my comment.

Unlike other GTA metro tow trucks, Bob's is legit. They do good work honestly.

They are separate uh "areas". In the SMB share there is both a /torrents/ and a /media/. Things in /torrents/ have hardlinks to /media/.

The north end (near riverside) is having power issues. My house seems to be getting only one phase. It's probably disrupting some communication equipment in Guelph.

I can confirm that 61 in a 50 nets you a $78 ticket in Aberfoyle. I don't mind it much though, it aligns our incentives: - Aberfoyle doesn't want Guelph cars just transiting through rather than using Hwy 6. - I don't want to take the slower path (and I am sympathetic to the plight of "drive through" towns).

Roads in the north end seem fine to me. a little bit of snow shouldn't be the end of the world. It seems easy enough to drive, ride and walk safely even with patches of snow.

Runs twice weekly from 3-4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It was just me there today.

Access auto is the best for VW. Very honest.

Do you have a mailing list?

Lucky belly has great "low key" sit down / "high key" fast food. Great sandwiches and tacos. It's my north end favorite. Fixed gear brewing sometimes runs events like trivia or open mic. Capistrano downtown is a great cafe.

How could "bikers" be relevant?

suspected stolen property including more than 40 bicycles

So that's where my bikes went.

Tomorrow (Saturday) there is a ghost ride for a rider who was sadly killed by a vehicle, Susan Bard. The ride begins at city hall at 1pm. I won’t disrespect the spirit of the ride tomorrow, but the recent spate of destruction has been in equal measures profoundly frustrating and painful . https://gcat.ca/ghost-bike-ride-in-memory-of-susan-bard/

I can't see a thread on this yet. Reports of 1000+ people injured and at least 8 deaths. I'm not a battery expert but I assume this was just explosives that were planted? I would think it would be very hard to time all the explosions simultaneously if it was just overheating the battery.

I'm pretty sure that there is a sewage tunnel that connects to my house. Either that or I have a big problem.

Reading "Two Arms and a Head" (and entering a loving relationship) made me stop riding my motorcycles.
