twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.02.18

I took The Boy to a public meeting held by the city to look into whether they're going to build the cycle lanes we've been working for. Ken asked a couple of questions, but he couldn't take much more than half an hour. We met the Councillor for our ward, and I met the Executive Director of Cycle Toronto. The information presented by the city was good, and I learned that the city has sensors in the street to detect bicycles. Who knew!

I'm pleased with Ken's interest in the whole thing. It's only what one could expect from a six year old, but it's there.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
