weehoo and eastern kingbird

Toronto, 2013.05.19

Ken and I took to the cycle paths today, heading to Leslie Spit, then up the Don Valley as far as Riverdale Park, then across to home. Five year old Ken loves the Weehoo bike trailer - it's comfortable and allows him to pedal as we go.

We saw quite a few birds (even more than we saw birders), including what I now believe was an Eastern Kingbird. It was a beautiful morning.

The manufacturers of the bike trailer gave us a 10% discount coupon so I'm going around telling everyone.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
