MacDonald Bridge Bike Lane Reopening Delayed 2 Days to Protest Cyclists’ Protest

In rush hour on Thursday, June 1st, some unappreciative cyclists rode across the Halifax MacDonald Bridge on the main deck to protest delays in reopening of the bike lane due to the Big Lift Project.

I don’t know wassup with that Nova Scotia speed results reporting, so I called my contact at CNN, Anderson Scooper, to get a projection and, lo and behold, they had one!

CNN is projecting a Liberals majority in Nova Scotia!

Thanks, Mr. Scooper. I can get on with my life now. 🙂

Update
The Canadian and local stations made the same call at 12:57 AM Wednesday morning. Case and point, thank you very much. 😉

Mentally Obese

What happens to my brain when it’s not challenged enough to keep it in good condition over extended periods of time.

That’s the term I’ve coined for it.

I suspect it’d happen to yours as well.
