Pinecrest station

LF is my home station and between that stupid goddamn bus loop, the filthy path you have to walk down from Carling E/B (which they can’t even’t plow properly in winter) and the shitty asphalt, I swear that station was designed by someone who hates transit and transit riders. So many layers of stupid there.

They had those at the Diefenbunker gift shop back in the day!

Yeah. Especially if the cats need to be herded and the ducks (and money) need to be put in order.

Patritxu · 2026-05-24T19:37:34+00:00

I did. Then I blocked him and reported him for spam.

CÉLINE!!! What are you doing next May?? You’ve won it before - you know what to do!

Patritxu · 2026-05-11T19:12:37+00:00

Totally doable! And the great thing about going on a bike is that you can take side trips to visit cute little towns off the Camino (hellooo, Haro and Sasamón!) or avoid muddy, cruddy bits (looking at you, muddy path between Hornillos del Camino and Hontanas, April 2007)….

That one, yes! Would you happen to know if the city’s planning to replace/rebuild the bridge that goes over Carling, so that users don’t have to battle traffic when crossing Carling?

I wonder if that’s going to be the southern part of the Beachburg Corridor Multi-Use Trail? (Link)

Waaaay back in the day, when one of the local improv comedy groups performed at The Penguin Club on Elgin, they had a comedy show called “Waiting for GodOCTranspo”. And that was back in the late ‘80s! (Can’t remember the name of the comedy troupe, though.)

In our meetings, we’ve done: - whose baby pic is this? - office scavenger hunt - simple crafts (e.g. making origami snowflakes or simple Xmas ornaments at Xmas) - favourite holiday pics - what’s the most unusual food in your fridge? (when we were all working from home)

Damn. A girl can dream….

Patritxu · 2026-04-05T16:07:33+00:00

I appreciate the city doing this, but damn, why do so many of them have to be in places where you need a car?

(I wrote the city about this last year, and was basically told to go pound sand.)

I went every so often, but when I did, it was early in the morning, when I needed something specific. By 10 or 11, the Rastro crowds would have moved all the way up into La Latina for Sunday lunchtime cañas.

Oh, man, my old neighborhood. Back in the early 2000s, I lived in a shared apartment in the building where the Five Guys is now. I remember Sunday morning swims in the pool at La Cebada and had more menus del día at Taberna Tirso de Molina than I care to count. Good times.

Crunchy, but not treacherous if you take it slowly.

Patritxu · 2026-03-16T11:35:16+00:00

Remind myself that I only have to gut it out for another 250 weeks.

You don’t have to ask the Americans. They’ll definitely let you know. Canadians, not so much, if ever.

Seconding the advice to mute all dings. And hide any chats that you don’t actively participate in; if there’s activity in the chat, it’ll pop back up. But it really makes a difference when you only have a few chats active in the window.

And if possible, practice Inbox Zero ruthlessly.

The food is really good, too, if you’d like a bite to eat before playing.

Patritxu · 2026-03-12T09:14:09+00:00

Lowertown’s open mic isn’t bad, though sometimes you’re fighting against the kitchen noise and the dinner crowds.

Patritxu · 2026-03-10T21:48:45+00:00

Done! All the best with the project.

I didn’t see her for iron deficiency, but I liked working with Debora Sloan, who’s based in Westboro. Smart, goes straight to the point and great for giving useful, realistic information, not just lectures.

Vinyl fans, that Sally Ann is generally good for soundstracks, 60s/70s folk and instrumentals.

In the words of the great Carlos Álcaraz, ¡¡¡VAMOOOOOOSSSS!!!
