Nope, that's accurate. I started making myself reach for the handrails when I turned 40 so it would be muscle memory when I got older, and it's already saved my ass a couple of times when I've slipped on the stairs.

There were over 8000 applications from all over the world to be part of 1800 Person team to move this extraordinary heritage building a few meters. This is the power of what can happen when people work together. Humans can move figurative mountains, and in this case, they moved the Hirosaki castle.

80% of vehicle drivers in this town used to go over speed limit. Now with traffic control measures and street improvements only 2% go over the speed limit and the results are absolutely remarkable. Safer streets, less serious injury, and no road deaths.

My favourite road trip pit stop snack in BC is veg pakoras (2 for $1.79) and veg samosas ($1.79 each) from the Sanderson farm stand in Keremeos Second place: Carrot cake from Silverton Camp Cafe Third place: Desert Hills Taco Stand by Cache Creek #travel #food #canada #roadtrip

A sunny afternoon in a parking lot with mountains in the background, the focus of the photo is hand holding a paper bag of pakoras (samosas underneath)

Truth is the man in the back in the speedo is a fit park board commissioner who was not told about the fact Mayor Sim was going to do a 180 media twist & now say that the park board should be allowed. Good for him for stopping his Long Distance swim to find out what the Mayor was spinning this week.
