   You are obviously not a cyclist. Neither was my wife when she decided she and I would ride together. At first we looked like fools, me riding with traffic and her riding against like she had been shown ( presumably for safety). It took the best part of the summer, but eventually when she saw how easily I could negociate a busy intersection compared to her, she made the move. At an intersection she had to walk the bike across, while I just had to take my place in the queue and proceed as if I were a car, on the saddle. Try it before you comment it.

   Funny you should mention passenger train priority over freight. I was watching a program about Via Rail (Canada’s equivalent to Amtrak I guess). It said that over 90% of the rail system that Via Rail uses belongs to freight companies (CN, CP, etc.). Via however has no priority when on freight owned tracks and has to yield, thereby making passenger travel by rail slow and unpredictable.

   My kind of person, I’m just as weird as you are. I pre-heat my thermos as well. Long live Q = m x C x delta T.

   Something about owning the heaviest battering ram on the highway being a safety feature I find disturbing on some level.

   Where I live, everyone but me (it seems) owns a pick-up truck. When I need to carry something my Camry can’t handle I borrow my neighbour’s Ram and put some gas in the tank. Worse case scenario, I rent Home Depot’s cargo van… No way I’m paying $60K for a gas guzzler I need once, maybe twice a year.

   Nothing worse than having to fiddle with that intermittently working LED up a ladder in a snow storm at -20C.

    Christmas fare in French Canada includes allspice flavoured meat pies and pig knuckle stew with meatballs. In my wife’s family they also cooked a turkey but it was used to make turkey meat sandwiches and turkey pot pies.
