Flowers

I was surprised to see this little fellow outside, after all the cold lately. We had several sub-zero days. The violets were fine, and were not alone.

It was also my first long morning walk from home to our shared co-working space in over a month. My current route is about 6km long. I enjoyed the weather and attempted to capture some blog-worthy photos with a mixed success.

Here’s a photo of a pigeon eating popcorn.

Name your top three pet peeves

Name your top three pet peeves.

Parked cars. Moving cars. Drivers.

Cars take so much space. They need wider roads, parkings, highways, bridges, traffic lights. That space can be better used. We can have bus stops, bike lanes, grass, mud, or even puddles full of grass, mud, frogs, and everything.

Moving cars tend to be dangerous. A cat stands no chance when hit by a car. The heaviest stroller wouldn’t provide any protection against the lightest of all cars. The EU keeps raising the requirements for pedestrian protection but the math is clear – most fatal car accidents involve cars. It is possible for two rapid pedestrians to crash and bump their heads but way less likely.

Car drivers would be number three. Driving is like the full moon for werewolves – turns ordinary kind humans into berserkers.
