  1. A quotation from L'Engle

    So let us look for beauty and grace, for love and friendship, for that which is creative and birth-giving and soul-stretching. Let us dare to laugh at ourselves, healthy, affirmative laughter. Only when we take ourselves lightly can we take ourselves seriously, so that we are given the courage to say, “Yes! I dare disturb the universe.”

    Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
    Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

  2. I had an "interesting" encounter with a road-raging #asshole yesterday. He didn't straight-up try to #murder me, but it was #disturbing. There was a lot more to it than I will show here, because I want to keep this short, I only included the latter part.

    He's really a #stereotype; #unkempt, looks kind of like a meth-head, drives an absolute #POS #Chevrolet (Malibu, I think) sedan in what I assume #GM must have called "Stewed Dirt" colour, and wears a wifebeater for extra flair.

    Before the video starts, he'd been ahead of me and was braking and weaving and giving me the #finger out the window and #yelling out the window and all the rest of it. I moved over to the right-hand lane so I wasn't directly behind him anymore. Where the video starts, he'd moved left into a turning lane, and slows for the light. As I pass him - I was continuing straight - I move back into the left lane, and he then stomps on the gas and pulls out of the turning lane so he's behind me.

    At the light, he comes within a few inches of rear-ending me, deliberately, all while #gesticulating and moving over to be in my driver's side mirror, etc.

    After I get going, he flies by me on the right (I'm not driving slowly) and then pulls in ahead of me and slams on his #brakes hard enough to lock up and #smoke the #tires.

    If you're in the #Regina / #YQR area, watch out for this guy. His #SK plate is "527 MZJ", and he looks like a winning contestant from "Who's The Biggest #Loser?".
