  1. Great ride this morning with the @DarkHorseFlyers. Feels like summer is finally here.
  2. The King St streetcar is full of kids all chanting "double-up seven" over and over. Is this what crazy feels like?
  3. @VIA_Rail Today. Train 85.
  4. @VIA_Rail So if a train from Union Station to Georgetown was 50 minutes late (more than 100% of the expected time) then is there a credit?
  5. @via_rail What accountability does VIA have to its customers if its trains run late?
  6. Bad cycling night. Bothersome knee, winds gusting over 40 kph, rush-hour traffic, and 2 mechanical issues on the way home. I'm #carneyangry
  7. @VIA_Rail 3rd time it's happened to me over the years, and I don't take VIA too often. The ride back was just fine, however.
  8. @VIA_Rail I appreciate the apology, but next time I'll seek alternative transportation.
  9. Under no circumstances should you order more than one pitcher of bourbon lemonade. One is enough.
  10. @VIA_Rail everyone on the car flagged the attendant. At one point, he opened the back door because the AC was broken/useless.
  11. Hey @VIA_Rail -- a sweltering and very uncomfortable trip from Tor->Mtl thanks to poor/no air conditioning in car 6006.
  12. @melissaiscool @mferrier @souksav Maybe sometime in August? July is pretty good, though Montreal is rammed with festivals then.
  13. @melissaiscool @mferrier You guys want to plan a weekend in Montreal?
  14. @markrcote Any other exciting plans for a Saturday? :) In related news, see you next week.
  15. @emenel @camdeputter What's the intersection? I can ask around for rec's (lived there for 6 years). Also, a pint would be good!
  16. @camdeputter @emenel Where are you staying and for how many days?
  17. @pebblewatch @kickstarter Just be careful you don't accelerate to plaid. Otherwise, you'll have to make devices in that pattern as well.
  18. @pphaneuf @souksav Just a bit of merino wool and assorted synthetics. I'm on a strict no-polyester diet.
  19. @funkaoshi @souksav @mferrier Is that what @shimo uses on you, or do you not remember?
  20. @somnambulant Nothing will ever beat the 7-car pile-up I saw south of San Francisco, attributed to a rainbow.
