Previous Day :: Next Day

hool: unfortunately most cheaper scooters are two stroke engines, which pollute far, far worse than any car. typically scooters are not subject to the same emissions standards as cars, so they can get away with it. vespa does make a clean(er) four stroke engine, and if you have a nasty...

in response to Toronto\'s Got the Right Idea...

Peter: better bicycle gridlock than auto gridlock anyday, if you ask me, heh. i just wish we could have similar legislation here re: scooters so i could park mine on the sidewalk without fear of getting a ticket, as parking it in the street usually means it gets knocked over by...

in response to Toronto\'s Got the Right Idea...

Peter: totally. we met for drinks friday night, and his stories were great- i cant wait to see the photos!

in response to Neck Face in Shibuya Tokyo

jeeff: hooray! i've noticed a lot more bicycles in the city too in the last few years. sometimes on college, dundas and queen there's 'bicycle gridlock'.

in response to Toronto\'s Got the Right Idea...

jeeff: agreed. yeah, get your friend to post! i want more tokyo photos!

in response to Neck Face in Shibuya Tokyo

Peter: two more vespas:

Peter: jeeff: a friend of mine just returned from a trip to tokyo, and gave almost the exact same explanation of shibuya/harajuku when we were discussing his travels the other day. im trying to get him to post some photos here... www.coffeepot.org/blog/archives/ . . . hives/2005_11.html#000221 i could envision the "graffiti curcuit" to be similar to any...

in response to Neck Face in Shibuya Tokyo

K AND M: He is still hanging out in the city as of last weekend. Seemed like a pretty nice guy. The first sign we read was about the drunken sex with the two women. It was too funny not to stop. I figured at least he was honest.

jeeff: it's all about turf right?

in response to Neck Face in Shibuya Tokyo

jeeff: i do think there's kind of a 'graffiti circuit' too.

in response to Neck Face in Shibuya Tokyo

jeeff: i don't know about other places, but shibuya is about the only part of tokyo that has a lot of graffiti (shinjuku has some too, but mostly older it seems). shibuya is the most streetwise/chaotic neighbourhood, and home to a lot of semi-legal/illegal activities. in most parts of...

Peter: its a giant graffiti conspiracy.

boring white: I agree with Sad State of Affairs... Pick up your garbage, who wants to live in filth? or see it for that matter and have their children play in it? Please "Praise the Lord" go find an appropriate website for those who believe in your rhetoric. If I want to hear...

colavito's ghost: Anyone know anything about that "Dachsund in a doggy wheelchair" sticker in the second photo. I see them stuck up all over New York and I wonder who's responsible. They're pretty silly, I think. But cool.

in response to stickers

hool: toronto is very colorful in discrete chunks, mostly in old residential neighbhorhoods. i think that every neighborhood in every city has this intensity of color, i just take closer notice. peter: come visit. get in your car with sine, stay at our place, and we will show you toronto. ...

in response to I\'m From the Village!

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I have a theory for time travel. It's based on the concept that what keeps us linked to this moment in time are the constant reminders that it's Monday, autumn, 21st century, lunchtime (as in, Time and again by Jack Finney). If you can put yourself into a light state...

Praise The Lord (Jehovah) My God The Only True King of Kings: 2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

SadStateOfAffairs: The images on the television and in the media are there to create fear and sell newspapers. What sells more newpapers, A) The world is coming to an end!!!
