Animal errands
Before we set off we stopped for lunch at the new Balkan Dining restaurant on Kenmore Avenue. The portion sizes were ridiculously huge and cheap. We had leftovers for everything except for my vegetable mousaka.
Sleepy Mid - wiped out from a walk
Ferrets are so freaking cute
After Paul and Terry came back and picked me up, we went to Markham Pets to get Basra hay. The last time I was there in 2003, I was getting a guinea pig and it was disgusting. i remember bugs and fleas everywhere in the rodent cages.
This time it was much cleaner.
Basra's smaller counterpart if he weren't such a dirrrty tortoise. He also had way less space.
Little Meerschweinchen hiding in their house. I wanted to pick one up so bad.
We went to Feel Rite after to use up Paul's scam insurance card. Why can't they just lower the premiums by $250? Anyway,we a got a lot of granola bars and questionable brain supplements. I don't really trust much in the store with the amount of woo - like the homeopathy and steroids. I don't put much stock in these pills except they may give you a little buzz.
The tour finished with Terry getting the Note 4 before we went home. Paul and I brogrammed the rest of the night.

Mike blows
The highlight of the night though was Mike's blowing showing off his blowing skills with a pinwheel.

Lab mice
(E:Paul) had a 5th monitor that I got to steal while I was over there. It's an okay monitor in terms of quality, but it has a touch screen. I got it to work with Linux with by modifying xinput in Fedora with the xinput_calibrator - you have to set the input area to just include the touch screen and not both monitors.

Total Request Rave in Toronto
The whole night was happy hardcore. We were completely sober but I had so much fun dancing with the people there and the music. (e:casey) said it's because Canadians are polite and awesome enough for that.
The next day (e:terry) wasn't feeling well, so we had breakfast in the gayborhood and went home. Still a very fun weekend.

Sameer's bachelor dinner
Jessica's friends did a really nice job organizing and decorating for the dinner. Everyone got a fortune cookie and a packet of curry powder in a little decorated box.
I felt bad that we couldn't go to the rest of the party, but we had to race out after 9 to head up to Toronto. I hope they had a good time that night and an even better ceremony in Las Vegas.

Winter market
We got a type of apple I've never seen before - Jonagold.
On the way back we found someone that drives worse than either of us.

Paddock Chevorlet scammers
When we went told them we were there to pick up the keys for our car. The desk clerk told us it was going to be $70 - wait what? It's a recall. When we called her out on it, she said "Oh, it must be our new computer system. Let me go check on this". What a scam.
We ended up paying $50 for a second key. Turns out we could have gotten one online for less than $10, and gotten it programmed and cut for another $10.
Another reason not to trust anyone involved with cars.

Buffalo bike plan
At first, the consultant outlined their methodology for coming up with the inital outline for Buffalo's bike future from the first meeting. They said they kept in their design in line with the best practice of bike infrastructure within 0.5miles of every Buffalonian. From there, they divided up bike infrastructure to classes on different locations, from serious riders on Delaware, to riders who only would ride on separated paths with no car traffic.
After this, the 100 or so people broke out into groups of 10 to come up with 3 priorities and critiques of the consultants plan. One thing a lot of people noticed is a focus on high traffic roads, especially in North Buffalo, when there are huge lane and a half lanes like Starin that could support protected bike lanes.
We also noticed the consultants neglected the east side - Bailey and many far east N-S routes were almost completely ignored, while the near and far west side were soaked in proposed bike routes. East-west routes were also named as a high priority - I can't think of a single good bike route that crossed Main right now. I will say, of the participants there, most were from the west side below Hertel.
The entirety of the plan is available at buffalobikeplan.org. There will be more plans in the spring - but in the mean time they are still welcoming feedback. Give it.

Bike highways
It also made me think of the Erie Canal trail that I've never taken before, from Buffalo to Glen Falls. (e:yesthatcasey), when are we going to ride this?
Also there is a city bike planning meeting down at GoBike's offices in the innovation center today at 6pm! So ride your ass down and get involved.

And (e:Paul), didn't we have a long conversation about these "supplements"? I thought we came to the same conclusion as (e:Joe)'s thoughts. :)
I would advise caution with something whose daily allowance limits are not known and are not likely to be determined any time soon.
