Can't argue with the base premise. But here in Toronto it's the ebike wild West. Where no law is enforced.

Folks are ripping by in the bike lanes on 100lb electric mopeds with throttles and fold away pedals. I've seen bikes where the chain is rusted off but the "bike" happily zips past a grandma on dutch bike at 35kph.

Recently the transit commission finally banned ebikes on the subway because they were lighting trains on fire.

All I ask is that ebikes are limited to pedal assist and have a weight limit. But I think the genie is out of the bottle.

Anyway. I've got opinions.

I recently read Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea books, really interesting in that first half are kids lit and the second half were written 30 years later for a grown audience.

Best of both worlds! Though I did find the kids books way more fun.

I loved getting my Nintendo Power subscription every month and reading it front to back multiple times

We do a Bowie calendar for friends and family (it's a great motivation to take photos). We were ready to send it to the printers, but last night we dropped this photo in for May.

So yeah, it'll be on about 35 walls 😃

I bought a brother printer / copier / scanner about 15 years ago. Still going strong, I replaced the ink once.

I bought it for $99.99

I still consider it the best money I've ever spent

Edit: $99 Canadian!

I've been taking Bowie photos once a day for four years now.

I started with just a bad One Plus phone, today I have a tiny Bowie sized studio set up with a flash and selection of camera lenses.

It's fun to improve and try new things, it helps that Bowie seems to genuinely enjoy taking photos with me.

Bowie has zero awareness which might be definition of cool 😎
