The commute home yesterday was another exercise in frustration as every time I get within 20 ft of a crosswalk, they all insist on stopping and plugging up traffic. This didn't happen in the summer! Something about School starting up seems to have screwed up traffic.

My wife had the early morning shift and took the car today. That left me on the buses taking my son to daycare and then biking in from there. I can't believe how much he begged me to let him ride his TAB. "Daddyyyyyy, I'll put on my warm jacket and zip it ALL the way up!", "Daddyyyyy, I'll put on warm pants and gloves!" Time to spend the money on the fender for the TAB. 3 buses and 40 minutes later (to travel all of 5 km) I dropped my son off and headed to work. By the time I got to Burnaby Mountain I was definitely over dressed.
