Totally, I'm just being cheap

[firebane]

This weather keeps up going to be taking the bike out for some rides.

Pouring rain at lower elevations between the edge of the mountains and Sunshine today.

[The Cosworth]

Counted half a dozen bikes out in town here, heard more than a few crotch rockets somewhere as well.

so the city is using beet brine on the road now, who ate all the beets?

[dirtsniffer]

sugar beets are processed, the sugar is removed and this beet brine is actually a form of molasses. A lot of canadian sugar comes from sugar beets, such as the rogers plant in taber. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the source.

This is based on my loose understanding of the situation.

[ExtraSlow]

when I eat beets, I stain my sheets, I don't even know why.

[vengie]

Looks like I'll be leaving the house early tomorrow to beet the rush.

If you knew any more, you'd be a beet farmer.

It's already a shitshow in Calgary, and it isn't even our first



Edit: Time stamp is wrong for some reason, that was today about an hour ago.

It’s a beet slushy and slippery out there already. Be careful!

Good to know. I was wondering why I was noticing pinkish/red salt everywhere. I figured it had always been like that and I was to oblivious to notice.

Fuck so many idiots out. Lack of confidence, lights, visibility, and preparedness.

Glenmore is a shit show.

[hurrdurr]

Glad i don't have anywhere to be tonight. Calgary drivers are the absolute worst once a snowflake drops

[ercchry]

Did some running around at 3pm... most was against traffic and it was great! So many slow, scared drivers it was super easy to get around them all
