Heres a shout out to Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»drivers I have encountered more incompetent, rude drivers here than anywhere I have lived. Last week I witnessed a new low in the I am a very important person category. A driver turning right onto Burrard from W. 2nd couldnt wait for four cars to turn right, so he created his own middle lane on W. 2nd. Not only did he cut off the line-of-sight of the other drivers, he turned right ahead of all of them.

This is to the woman who yelled Excuse me! after she nearly ran into me while crossing Howe at Davie, westbound. Actually it was up to you to excuse yourself as you were walking to the left and were, essentially, in my lane of traffic. Next time, before sarcastically yelling at someone, take a look at your own behaviour/habits.

You know when you go to a workshop on a subject matter you dont know (or think you dont know because it has absolutely nothing to do with your field of practice) AND the information presented to you is basically a brief summary of the research youve already done on the subject in preparation to be able to understand the workshop itself AND as a result youre shockingly disappointed? Why must people present themselves as experts with 20 years experience in their field AND present simple information, yet present it to the unknowing crowd as complex, information that I can find in a 30-minute focused Google search? Why?

Every time I drive, bus or walk over the Burrard Street Bridge, I cant help but cringe at the awful amount of concrete cancer pitting what were probably lovely guardrails in their day. Is there any way to give the railings a facelift? Thousands of visitors and Vancouverites cross the 80-year-old bridge every day, stopping to take pictures of the spectacular view, but the old girl deserves to look just as splendid. Right now the sides look like they have been chewed by mice!

This is a rave to the man in front of Barclay Manor the night of Nov. 22. He helped me fend off an extremely aggressive and vicious racoon that attacked my two dogs. Although one of my pups was bitten by the racoon, its not too serious and shell be fine; shes a bit traumatized but OK. So, whoever you are, a huge thank you.

This is for the pedestrian walking along Burrard on a rainy Friday: I know you love the huge umbrella that you probably got at some fabulous resort during an absolutely amazing holiday but do you mind being just a bit more modest? You took up a lot of space on a sidewalk already crowded with umbrellas. I could tell by your demeanor that modesty doesnt suit you but please try it on for size the next time you go for a walk in the rain.
