Less so with people not walking in it.

Baby new year 1926 holding a sign 

I RESOLVE
To remember that there are others in the world beside myself, both motorists and pedestrians, and that the essence of being a good motorist is to realize that these others have rights that I should respect and I will remember to respect these rights at all times, leaning a little toward unnecessary courtesy and consideration to others, if l lean at all.

I guess a piece like this is probably too “woke” to see and honor today.

Me: “I wonder when Ig Nobel tickets go on sale this year, it was awesome when I got to see the award ceremony”

Go look to find out, find this.

Oh well. Shoulda done it more while it was close.

It is a gorgeous day.

(Don’t worry, most city-owned bike infrastructure still has piles of snow on it)

hm, right-coast california doesn't map to any of the cities i have or am likely to live in

Depends where. Typically people aren’t bothering to save space here unless it’s live music o’clock at the adjacent club, and the club has a lot anyway.

I don’t even remember why I went that way. I think I was heading somewhere south of Broadway to get dinner and drinks, I was on my own that night

I could barely see that sign as I biked past, drivers probably don’t even blink

I guess it’s not a huge shock to see the Lieutenant Governor texting and waiting for someone on the other side of the room; it’s not even the first time it’s happened this year.

Providence.

My ex lives in Cheltenham and we’ve visited her as well as other locals we know so it’s not out of the question we’ll end up nearby at some point

We play riichi. My phone just apparently likes to autocorrect

We live sufficiently far that it’s not likely any time soon. Otoh we are basically organically growing a Mahjongg night ever since a now-friend made the mistake of saying she needed to learn Mahjongg one night as a stranger beside me in a bar 🤣

Oh hey @hypatian.org another riichi mahjong club in case you’re ever in Philly!

(We play riichi, and so when we were in NYC in January Kat went and played with Riichi Nomi!)
